Guild Wars 2

It seems like the most common top builds utilize the Sword and Pistol in some way but after trying those builds I’ve got to say that I’m not a fan of using it and having to deal with enemies that are constantly shifting around. Is there a good, or at least, functional build that utilizes the ranged attacks of a Mesmer? One that would also function at average level in dungeon runs or fractals.

Bottom line: Are there any builds that, while not the top setup for a Mesmer, are still reasonably viable and utilize the GS as a primary weapon of choice. And if you could direct me to those builds it’d be much appreciated.

Use the meta 6/6/0/0/2 build and use Greatsword Training instead of the Signet Mastery trait. The rest will be the same – greatsword + sword/focus or + sword/sword.
