Guild Wars 2

A few things I’ve learned while playing a PU phantasm Mesmer roaming in WvW.

Not trying to show amazing achievements – just things I have learned and how this kind of build can perform.

Please share any thoughts or feedback. Every time I record a video, I see tons of things I would like to do better. But I’m sure there’s a ton more that I could improve that I don’t see.

Thx!

P.S. Contains more old-guy music…

Just noticed that the video quality gets a lot better after the first 20 seconds or so.

Also the most interesting fights are at the end of the video (a 2 v 2 against 2 bronze warriors and a 1 v 2 that becomes a 1 v 3)

so u shouldnt have added first 2 fights, in first ranger just ran parallel to u and took all the dmg, on second the war or whatever that guy was , was outnumbered

stuff that annoyed me: the text that u wrote was in middle of screen and insanely big, srsly annoying

not sure but i think u got slow reflexes? idk i never rly played pu before, i am running pure shatter and i spam everything in a rly short period and move around rly quickly:p

awesome fights, u did well

ps: i am sadist, u wont get long pros of me , suffer from the cons!!!!

literally every single player in those videos were terrible

bearbows, players never dodging phantasm summons or blinding/interrupting you, people 1v2’ing you and killing phantasms rather than just rushing you (especially double warrior, good god)

Yup – all criticisms are totally fair. Sorry about text size – I’ll shrink it for the future.

The ranger fight is silly as a fight. It’s only meant to show two things – that phantasm builds can generate a lot of damage quickly and that scepter 3 can be effective in a power build (it’s pulsing for over 1000 per tick).

The siege fight is not that interesting as a fight either. I just notice that I rarely see roamers set up siege to defend a camp, and ballista’s are very effective.

No doubt my reflexes are not great. Every time I go back to a video, I see spots where I should have dodged or interrupted.

@maha one point I kind of disagree on – when I fight phantasm builds, I do try to kill the phantasms. They don’t take much damage, and it removes a lot of the damage you will take. In the two warrior fight, they decided to target my friend. That happens somewhat because I stealth fairly often and it’s easier to keep attacking the target you can see.

One question for those who play phantasm builds – do you use Signet of the Ether? You can see I use it a lot offensively to get three phantasms up. It’s aggressive, but I use life steal food and stealth to try to balance the lack of healing. Anyone else play this way?

sure, I can understand killing phants in 1v1 but if there are two warriors they should just be going for you in a 1v2 since your phantasms aren’t going to be downing them any time soon.
