Hey guys, you might know me from my days of asking for mesmers to be nerfed or asking for them to be protected.
You might be glad to know that I am now creating my first mesmer!
To get to know you mesmers better and be friends with you.

I am planning to go a Triple Sword mesmer and I call this the Samurai Mesmer build.

Samurai Mesmer Build:
Sword + Sword / Great Sword

Playstyle: Samurai, once the blade leaves the sheath, blood must be shed. Depend on your illusions to kill for a Samurai strikes from the shadows.

I’m open to all comments since I am new to mesmers.
Give me some pointers! =D

Not sure if necessary to give this a special name since it’s suspiciously close to the meta PvE builds we run in Dungeons.

What were your goals with this build. Max damage in PvE? Use in PvP? RP potential?

I will give you no pointers as your posts are filled with troll statements and you cannot grasp anything in this game other than nerf classes.

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

Don’t know why you did any of that without having played a mesmer…

Playstyle: Samurai, once the blade leaves the sheath, blood must be shed. Depend on your illusions to kill for a Samurai strikes from the shadows.

Next time be more precise maybe? I suppose you are aiming for a wvw phantasm build.
Mirror Images might not find that much use then, I’d swap it for Blink. Also I would take Fencer’s Finesse over Evasive Mirror as you are taking double swords and benefit more from the cooldown reduction that way.

A nice, pure damage build. Like @Yoseue said, I would try it out with Fencer’s Finesse – double sword CD, can’t really give that up!

Also, depending on your playstyle you may not want to shatter your phantasms to maximize DPS. So instead of master of fragmentation, I would also suggest trying ineptitude.

Another possible change: Take harmonious mantras instead of deceptive evasion and replace arcane thievery with power cleanse. In today’s condi heavy scene, I don’t think a 3 condi removal skill on a 45 second CD can cut it anymore. Especially since you can’t take mender’s purity – the one that removes 2 condis when you heal. This way, you get 6 condi clears with another immediate 6 lined up after you prepare the mantra.

I personally would also take blink instead of mirror images – this build really has no defence and I would be worried about surviving long enough for my phantasms to do damage.

In a way it’s sad, because the specializations are set up so that if you go domination for the 15% additional phant damage, you have to take GS, which is a very offensive weapon. In the old system, I would just take the adept domination trait and use my favorite focus offhand for defense.

kitten …I miss my old build
