SPVP build suggestion
Thanks for sharing this build!
It looks weak to conditions, but that’s true of any builds without Inspiration. I don’t get your trait choices in Dueling. Harmonious Mantras, why not, but then why don’t you play at least the heal mantra? You could also play Mistrust, which would have a great synergy with your pistol #5 and shield #5, and with Duelist’s discipline. I also feel like Fencer’s finesse brings you nothing: you don’t need Ferocity in your build, and you probably don’t even notice the CD changes.
Instead, you could play Blinding Dissipation, which is a great trait in itself for a shatter-heavy build like yours, and take Ineptitude as a GM trait in Illusions, for mad confusion bursts!
Finally, Carrion is a great amulet and probably works very well, but you could try with Wanderer or Rabid, because with Sharper Images and pistol #4 that could be a lot of bleed stacks. Maybe it’s worth trying?
I know I suggested a lot of changes and it may alter your build too much. But I like this weapon combination. Tell us if you make it work!

I did not chose wander or rabid becouse a good vitality helps a lot to manage conditions . Mantra of resolve traited with Harmonious Mantra let you remove conditions 3 times every cast … it is not so weak . It is one of the strongest condition clean of the game …. in my opinion in this meta it is a must if you don’t have the inspiration trait line . Changing this trait let you really more weak against conditions .
I took Fencer only for sword time reduction but perhaps it is not good

Good points, but did you try to use the heal mantra a well? My point was not about Mantra of Resolve being bad, but about Harmonious Mantra being maybe underused with only one mantra.
