Guild Wars 2

This is a build that I’m looking at for leveling (I’m currently ~level 56 with my Mesmer). I love the condition damage build I have but I feel a lot like I’m just standing around and am wanting to shatter more often than not. So would this shatter build be workable for leveling as well as for running dungeons at 80?

I realize most builds are usable no matter what, but are there any suggestions on runes, traits, and weapons that you can give? Thanks guys!

Its the only viable build for leveling.

Personally this is what I used

Getting the Dueling stuff first, then Illusions, then finally Domination.

If you want to stick with Staff for leveling then I would say illuisonary elasticity is a must, doubles your auto attack damage in 1vs1s, and makes it semi decent for when you are attacked by more then one mob.

I used something very similar to Levetty except going Domination first for Greatsword Training, and yes, it works great in PvE.
It’s also great fun because in each of the milestones (getting dueling 20, domination 20, illusions 30) you feel a huge increase in power.
Once you’re 80 ( but also before it) you’ll easily win against groups of enemies and veterans
Still running it indungeons, might not be the BEST build for it, but it’s decent burst damage, decent support with vuls and might buffs.
I personally love the GS, but you can go staff and use what Levetty posted, or you can use S/P (take the trait the improves swords in duelist).
