Hi

I want to hear opinions on the following hybrid build my daughter plays. I was the one initialy doing the build on her requirements (staff, swords boon utility, she even wanted to keep lyssa runes when i suggested traveler i had left over).
I play elementalist and when i watch this mesmer i somtimes wonder what this can pull off. The hybrid damage sums up hellish. Its somewhere in between burst and full condi and hurts.

This sylvari kills by just running by a mob … the mob shots at her, she dodges, i see the mob dying on the illusions while she just keeps moving her way .

A fight usual goes this way. Shot mobs at range, cast warlock, set up chaos storm when they are coming, port back when they reach her. Usually she only needs autoatacking till all is dead now. (warlock, defender, clone is in place).

If its a veteran or even champion pull out Swords …. leap, evade, riposte, summon swordsman and autoatack while all on CD.

She does not shatter for offense. She keeps the illusions and shaters to heal calling new ones immidiately like usind mirror image.

If loaded with condtions she moas the target. (Lyssa rune)

Very funny to watch this. Not a single stealth skill. Oponents are a bit surprised in WvW XD …. This criticals on nearly each hit and the illusions bleed you to death while she dodges and runs around ….

One thing i don´t know what to do. She works for map completion so chrnomancer will be possible. But the lines snergize so well and she doesn´t play shatter mesmer so i don´t know if crono even makes sense.

So how is this build?

Greetings

Wolf

PS: I personaly would put in traveler rune and use signet of night or decoy :-)

Strange that no one coments this build. To much out of meta? :-)

Eh…

For a WvW setting, considering no blink, no decoy, no torch, one stun break, not even a shield, I’d eat her alive in seconds. I’m sure she can kill with it, and certainly it’d kill mobs, but it’s hardly optimal. Even the fact she’s running Rampager speaks volumes.

I don’t know, what do you want us to say?

Fine at least an answer :-). Yes WvW defence is low, especially when the oponent is expierienced and targets the mesmer despite clones. I know what i do in WvW with mesmers. I would definitly go with decoy. I don´t know meser to well so defence tips woudl be fine. If their clones don´t help distracting she dies.
But the rampager doesn´t seem to bad.

All I’m saying is it’s not optimal. Anything can work against the right opponent. This won’t work against a lot of opponents.

But hey, who cares, if its what she wants to play, tell her to “Play to Win”, buy her the book (of the same name), and let her figure out the details.
