Guild Wars 2

So with the new specialisation system giving us access to a lot of shatter traits, my questions are.. is a build based on shattering, viable in dungeons now? and is there a significant loss in dps when taking a shatter build over a phantasm one?

Thanks

Its hard to tell if its better or worst. ITs for Sure different, how i see it atm:

Shatter is great on low lvl dungeons/clearing trash, in most low lvl dungs Bosses dont live more than 10/12s. So you basivaly summon 3 phantoms, they will be able to rotate max of 2 attacks, then you can shatter them for nice amount of dmg. Still testing Phantoms>shatter>phantoms rotation on longer fights.

I’d probably wait until we get Chronomancer and Chronophantasma before trying to do a shatter build in dungeons.
