Guild Wars 2

what build is viable for pve and what stats combination (i.e:zerker,rampager)?Would like to know what will be good, it been a long time since i played, not sure what different now.

dungeon too if thats not counted under pve build.

I’d say a phantasm build with MH Sword for both sets. The first OH would be Focus, and the second either Pistol or Sword.

If you’re not comfortable going all melee, Sword/Focus and GS.

You’ll always want sword/sword sword/focus. To keep it simple, use berserker for everything.

For builds, folks have settled on basically two builds. For maximum dps without full reflects, go for 6/6/0/0/2, with all of the damage or cool down options. If you need more reflects, go with 6/4/0/4/0, again with full damage and cooldown options (this build gives your wardens reflections, which can be helpful). Your play style should be full phantasm: drop them for damage and then auto attack with sword to damage. Keep mantras on your bar to get the damage modifier from Empowering Mantras. Use feedback to deal massive damage with reflects when appropriate.

If you want to be lazy, 6/4/0/4/0 is probably the most reliable. There are lots of other options with 2/x (and 6/5), but they’re about the same at the end of the day.

Welcome back, and good luck!

There is also 2/4/0/4/4 for reflection uptime instead of self burst via feedback. Also want to mention that you should carry all weapons you got with you, every mesmer weapon is situational and should be adapted to the situation. You’ll find the weapon that fits you the most in each situation.

yah i have most of the weapon , i may need to get another new sword that all =D for 3 sword build. Can some 1 link me the build on a calculator would be great so i can see what is taken.

Another question, is there a viable condi build, i like to play around with different builds, what would be the suggestion?

It makes me sad that the “cookie cutter” pve build has the same main hand weapon in both sets. So boring.

cookie cutter? first time i hear that.

btw I’d say this is good too:

hmm I haven’t played for a long time that I didn’t know that the current meta for pve mesmer is full melee… I still use GS/Sword+Focus for everything..

Range weapons do less damage than melee and the Berkserker is worse than the Swordsman. It’s more challenging and interesting to play full melee, and you end up doing more damage. You also get full might and boons this way. This has been the meta for a long, long time now.

The 2/4 build Xyonon posted is also nice. I like it less only because it’s more clicks to switch it to 6/6

Yea I do melee a lot, it’s just that I didn’t know most mesmers now wear both swords on swaps.
