Guild Wars 2

Looking for input on a build I’m going to try out later tonight. Here is the build currently.

Looking for input on the final utility slot, 2 remaining trait points, and possibly sigil/rune/amulet choice. Though I’m pretty happy with Monk runes for the outgoing heal effectiveness synergy with Phantasmal Healing minor trait and the Magi amulet choice was to boost crit % due to sigil choice.

Ideally the build would be a point holder with team share regen, able to easily keep a point capped (avoiding stealth utilities for this reason). Most likely only for sPvP just as an interesting alternative playstyle.

Any ideas? Feel free to share alternative builds

For a bunker, I’d actually suggest something more along the lines of this.

The first thing that stands out to me is that your build has a massive weakness to condition damage, and thus can only defend against power builds. I chose Mender’s Purity with the heal mantra to alleviate that. It may not grant as much heal overtime as the Signet, but it’ll cleanse conditions well and …

Restorative Mantras is crucial for a defensive-focused Mesmer. Restorative + MoPain will make you extremely hard to kill, and keep your Phantasms alive longer. That being said, you definitely wanna put those last 2 points into Inspiration. Adding a layer of reflection to your build will help considerably against rangers/engineers.

Also, I picked sword/focus for a couple reasons: Focus allows you to pull enemies off-point and warden nullifies projectiles, and Blurred Frenzy is one of our best defenses hands down; the scepter’s block doesn’t even come close.

With this build you won’t be doing much damage, relying mostly on sword, Phantasms, and Retaliation to harm people but you’ll have enough defenses against power/conditions/ranged/melee to be able to make for a solid bunker-support.

I agree with Chaos Archangel here conditions will kill you fast,

on another note having spent a couple days playing something very similar to this I can say about 75% of the time when you face a single power build that isn’t a glass cannon they won’t be able to kill, however if you face either more than one enemy or a class cannon you will probably die (lack of damage output on your end) . if you just need to make the battle drag on you will manage that.

the only experience I had with the build was in SoloQ so take that for what you will
