So I’ve been trying out this awesome new build which is pretty much a hybrid between 3 things.
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vhAQRAsc7alsnhG1YZawTNwtGL4GkZGyVEQDST6dZASwvA-TJBFABCcSAEvMQN7PAwTAAA
1) I usually start off with getting close to enemy to catch them off guard ; whether by blink or decoy.
2) Then I use mirror images and dodge to get 3 clones very quickly.
3) Well…..you can probably guess what will happen next. Mind wrack.
4) I usually go invisible again and summon both phantasms.

Let me know what you guys think or if anyone’s tried this build before

You’re basically a PU shatter mesmer as far as i see it, but i would have gone with inspiration instead of dueling.

With inspiration III – V – VII your opponent cannot just kill off your phantasms (retaliation), you heal yourself when shattering and you get a defender when evading or dodging.

Seems to me you just use your clones and phantasms just for shattering, so there is no need for fury on them.
You will lose the clone on dodge, but you gain a defender instead, and they do much more dmg then just a clone.

The way i see it :
you get close, summon clones and a decoy, shatter (3 clones), dodge an attack and gain a defender, summon a swordsman, they both have retaliation and you can keep the pressure up and you’ve healed yourself in the process. Stealth, switch to pistol, summon and go to shatter again. By that time your clones should (almost) be ready again.

But as it stands, it’s a nice build.

I don’t shatter the phantasms I create.
I only shatter the clones for a quick initial burst.
