Hi all,

I could really use some help with ideas about what i can do with my condition dmg gear. I used to run glamour mesmer in wvw (and enyoing it but since the nerf im just not feeling it anymore. I’ve been looking into other builds but sofar al of them requiere a respec in gear. Armour and all is doable but al the ascended trinkets are not so easy to replace. I like running clone builds in pvp ( props to seven mirrors for the builds) but in wvw i prefer some more aoe to break up zergs.
Any help on the direction i need to search for a new build, without needing full gear respec, is greatly appreciated

There is no shame in fear of the dutchman.

If you’re plannig to stick with the Glamour/Confusion build, i’d suggest changing up your armor.

Supposing you were running a full Rabid gear (armor + trinkets), leave trinkets Rabid, and swap armor for Knight or Soldier, with not-condition dmg runes (lyssa, air, centaur, wurm…).

This will let you still pump out some decent confusion pressure (condition dmg should be 1k or so) while improving your direct dmg to offset the confusion dmg nerf.
WvW only perspective.
Personally (and quite some other ppl on my server) i found this best option – also because doesn’t involve a full respec, especially for trinkets that might be hard-earned ascended pieces.

Seafarer’s Rest EU – PvE/WvW – 8 × 80 chars.
Most used: Guard/Mes/War/Nec/Ele.
Yes, i use 5 chars at time. Because REASONS.

Thnx, thats actually a good idea. Instead of searching for a new build an update might work better. Especially since i like the idea behind glamours and the confusion pressure helps in affecting the flow of the battle.
