Guild Wars 2

I’m currently leveling a mesmer and the class mechanic of shattering seems pretty cool. I’m wondering if anyone has done any theory crafting/research into when shattering will yield the most dps? What I mean is, each phantasm has a cd on their abilities after the 1st cast which seems pretty lengthy, and shattering them 1 second before they are about to cast again would be a waste of dps had you waited 1 more second. I’m sure I’mmissing alot of details here, but someone should know what I’m talking about lol.

Something like the berserker has a 5 sec cd on its atk so opening with that then casting something like warlock that has a 3 sec cd on its atk and then w/e else and then shattering after the warlocks and bersekers 2nd atks as to get the most dps out of the phantasms w/o wasting time and getting shatters off asap. (I pulled the cooldowns out of my kitten /p>

@Zepidel, I made a tutorial in teh subject for maximum burst kittenter spec. 3 different setups. Feel free to see my other guides in text and video. In general, do maximum spikes, then resummon next phantasm and live of the might buff to di sustained dmg and then repeat max spike. This is best in most cases unless on a passive boss who dont kills your phantasms, in this case its bets to get 3 iwarlocks up, let em dps while you staff, utility and let your teammates provide more conditions on boss.

Enjoy
