This is my build for wvw/pvp in general pretty much everything.
It is hybrid lock down, Phantasm build with PU.

Comments welcome.

Imo the only real power build that benefit from PU fully is [OMFG] gs/sword/torch build… don’t stuck yourself in having to take PU which only benefit from a 40 second and a 90 second cd spell…

Bountiful interruption isn’t bad…. ( especially when you run sig of dom on top of a gs and pistol)

Don’t underestimate debilitating dissipation even in a power build, weakness is a good condition just so you know, trait works amazing with deceptive evasion too… (especially if you are running gs instead of staff, where you have lower defense towards melee power opponents)

arcane thievery might be hard to land sometimes at 900 range untraited.

I like where you are going with solid condi removals which is really most power mesmer’s weakness.

I don’t use torch because the pistol is just too good vs so many classes like thieves and guardians.
I ran with Deb diss for a long time. in the end I find that this build really doesn’t lack any damage. The few times I lost a 1 v 1 a bit more Defense would have made the difference. (edit I mean a more consistent damage reduction , I would use DD for sure if the effects apply when you shattered )
Thievery is a must vs good necros and engis and helps a ton to strip stability so I can land my stun before bust.

I am meaning to try Bountiful interruption , it’s hard giving up that extra condition removal though.

help me understand why you bring deceptive evasion?

It serves 2 purpose.
1 when I am playing defence I stealth and dodge. It tricks people into attacking the clone .
2. When I shatter I dodge toward my target and shatter for max damage.

I don’t hide in shadows and let the phantasm work. It’s an active playing style. Most of the time I use them for initial burst and then shatter them. The whole idea behind this build is to lock down your opponent when he is at his weakest pt. i.e at the start of a fight or after they have burned their stun breakers and without boons . Then you burst them down or close to death in a few seconds.
