Guild Wars 2

I’m pretty sure some people have figured out this (imo) overpowered interaction, but basically the idea revolves around maintaining Chaos Armor to have permanent Regen/Protection/Swiftness as well as pretty much permanent Retaliation and stacking massive amounts of confusion on anyone that’s attacking you.

From my memory the build was 0/0/30/20/20 taking traits such as Blind on Confusion (giving Chaos Armor a 33% chance to confuse and 33% chance to blind + 5s confuse) and of course abusing the minor trait that grants protection on regen. As well as the trait for retaliation on Cry of Frustration and even the heal (optional).

From there you can build in whatever direction. I tried doing glamour utilities with the traits and being able to maintain just non stop Chaos Armors along with staff recharge trait. (i.e. Chaos Storm, Leap, Glamour, Leap, Glamour, Leap, Chaos Armor, etc.)

Pretty hilarious build, can sit on people with staff clones and spam conditions and boons (was using Monk/Water x2 runes for 30% boon duration + 15% protection duration runes), and shatter 1/2 for confuse stacks and retaliation, and go into Chaos Armor bunker mode when someone decides to focus you. Otherwise use Torch to GTFO when heat is too strong.

I’ve had some hilarious results, especially against many of the Rangers now abusing the hell out of Shortbow auto’s. I’ve had a couple Rangers pop Quickening and accrue 10 stacks of confusion EASILY within 1-2 seconds and just die instantly (no joke), w/o me doing akittenthing besides standing still in chaos armor and healing.

Enjoy another crazy strong Mesmer build. lol

Might have been nice to link the build as well….

Well I’m not going to bother going to a different site and set up the build.

I gave you the jist of it, fill in the holes.

Still would be nice considering im new to mesmer

It’s an old goofy build but at the end of the day it doesn’t have chase or stopping power.

Well it’s not supposed to be a powerhouse to 1v1 everything and burst people down or anything, I thought that was quite obvious.

Just a gimmicky tanky/support build that will destroy anyone that touches you.

I forgot to add, you can throw in Signet of Inspiration just to be cute. When you happen to stack 10 stacks of Might, 10s worth of fury, 40s+ worth of Regen/Prot/Swiftness, and Retaliation to all your allies. Whoop Whoop.

Besides I still think the interaction with Chaos Armor is a little over the top. It’s super easy to get those one of both of those traits in nearly any other Mesmer build.

chasing power? stopping power?

Chasing power = attacking an enemy who is running away from you.
Stopping power = stopping an enemy from accomplishing some task, such as taking a waypoint or setting up combo fields that will demolish your group.

Sounds entertaining. And you don’t always need chasing power. Sometimes you just need to tank on an objective point. And this would do that.
