Guild Wars 2

Hey fellow Mesmers,

I am lately falling in love with MtD Shatter builds for roaming in WvW (mobility, toughness and decent dmg output). So I made a short video of the fights I had yesterday:

Build:
MtD Shatter

I know, it isn’t exactly highest level Mesmer skill, especially the first 2 fights^^ But still, I managed to come out on top most of the time.

I would appreciate some feedback on the build and the play style. I plan to do some more videos in the future. Still working to find the right editing tool. So I apologize for the low video quality.

P.S.: Can someone recommend a good free to use video editing tool? Right now I used Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 (cuz it was free^^)

I recommend a useful sigil rather than earth, since your clones tend to be kite around quite often. I guess that’s why you use sword instead of scepter?

Sadly I’m not entirely sure where to slot this in your setup, perhaps staff works better. I tend to put that in scepter and cripple foes with confusing images.

Yeah, the main purpose of sword is to cripple/immobilize. I was also thinking it might be better to use the cripple on clone death trait to hinder enemy movement. I had the sword for ages though, and the sigil of earth was still on it and I was too lazy to switch it out yet^^

First of all, props to you for not cutting out each fight before you get downed etc. So many prefer the highlight reel which doesn’t give a real feel for how you always fight.

I would probably switch traited torch to boonstrip, esp with resistance coming up itll be more useful later and you already have good condi cleanse.

Video Editing
Microsoft Movie Maker (aka Movie Maker). It’s free, it’s easy to use, it’s all good.

One of the Links in my sig leads to a thread on making vids including link to Movie Maker.
