Hey,

what am I supposed to do against burning guard and lots of D/D eles with the meta build from metabattle (Shatter)? Someone knows a better build perhaps?

PS: I can’t rely on guards or eles to cleanse the burning…

Never fight them 1v1. Stick with an ally and try to 2v1 them.

Running Null Field in place of Decoy or Mantra of Distraction is also an option.

What i’m running atm. Loses a bit of the whole ‘surprise burst’ thing that PU has going for it, but you get plenty of condi clear in return. While you should be +1ing fights, in yoloq sometimes you just have to 1v1 or try stay on point.

Nyiiooxxxxxxxeeeyyyyy

When I try to finish D/D in 4 vs 4 / 5 vs 5 I need to come close obviously and burn guard can use his teleports to catch me out of guard and give me 6 stacks burning before I can even pop anything

Either

  • Get a team to carry you.
  • Don’t use a metabattle meta build -_-u

Feeling kinda useless without stun trait line though, was hoping for input

The advice to look for a premade I always find cute. I play up to 16 hours a day at all times, as happens to be the only possible solo. Premade play is for occasional gamers with little time. And who wants to have 16 hours a day, the shrill voices of teenagers over VOIP in the ear. Not me. And BTW: Pugging is always Teamplay.

Apart from that, yes Metabattle are pure Premade builds, totally unsuitable for solo players.
Solo as Roamer I would strongly recommend a PU Build with Traveller Runes. PU happens to have the advantage to determine the fighting itself. Traveller gives the necessary Mobility. Whether the build is then Power or Condi does not make much difference.

Burning Guards are easy to deal with – keep your Greatsword 5 ready after they JI and keep cripple on them. Don’t stand or go into their ring of fire/purging flames. Just keep your distance and you’ll be fine.

D/D Eles… just don’t bother because you’ll waste time. Never go to a point where one is camping because you’ll never win 1v1 against a moderately decent Ele. Even if you do manage to Moa them, it’s going to be difficult to land all hits/shatters.

I post from a phone so please excuse any references to ducks or any other auto corrections.

Both those classes are built around boons and both have low hp pool. The trick is to time your burst when they are not super protected. Then don not let up , don’t wait to build up another burst just throw everything at them to down them.

Make sure you’re using Generosity Sigil on your S/T set and be ready to BF as soon as they burst those burns on you, you will almost guarantee a proc and avoid stack for a bit, and if you wanna try Illusions instead of Chaos you can grab The Prestige which gives you some condi cleanse on torch skills, while allowing you to use it more. Then you can grab might on shatter and the shatter trait at the end to buff your…well shatters. This build will take some more brain power cause you wont have PU backup, but lower CD shatters + condi cleanse + AoE int and reflect on distort are all pretty nice. This is essentially old mesmer spec, with some benefits.

Honestly, stealth is a bit too powerful right now so its hard to put down PU, but this is what mesmer players would be using if stealth got nerfed suddenly. Also, with Chrono incoming it could benefit you to get away from the new PU shatter build, cause thats what is most likely going to be dropped for our new elite spec. As someone who has played this, being used to the new stealth timers was detrimental till I got back into the shorter duration stealth.
