Guild Wars 2

Came up with a random condition build. PVE viable? Would love some advice

Lol, this is a wvw build, not a pve build.

Some specifics:

• Sword is a complete waste on this build. It does no damage with your dire gear, so the only thing you’re getting out of it is evade from Blurred Frenzy…which you don’t need.
• Gravity Well can be cool, but it’s usually unnecessary. Shield 5 blows breakbars away, and you usually only need a little extra after that (f3, for example). In fact, I’ve found that a full-illusion f3 often insta-breaks breakbars. You’ll be better served by Time Warp (use it with f5 so it’ll be on a shorter cooldown), or Signet of Humility for wandering about.
• Sigil of Energy is inferior in pve, normal dodges are usually plenty, especially with shield blocks.
• Time Catches Up > Delayed Reactions for your build, and any condi mesmer in general (you don’t want them to attack slower, they take less confusion damage that way)
• You have almost no illusion generation in your build, you’re going to have a hard time shattering.
• Stealth is largely unnecessary in pve, except for skips and getting through some tougher spots in the open world. In short, PU is probably unnecessary, and inferior to Bountiful Disillusionment.

Here’s how I would change your build:

Here’s what I would run instead:

Thanks for the reply!

I took gravity well for the field combo with torch 4, aoe blind which would give me aoe confusion from Ineptitude. I was thinking of using gravity field for groups, sword 3 to leap in and torch 4 for the burst finisher, but yea other than evade and leap sword deals no dmg :/
