Hi there, I’m looking for some input on a theoretical build. Put simply, the relatively high condition damage from phantasmal duelists matched with the relatively high power damage of mesmers sword.

Ideal equipment would be full vipers armour with berserker runes and full vipers trinkets. For weapons are simply a viper sword and a vipers pistol in the offhand second weapon set slot, sigils are Geomancy and Malice.

Traits are Domination 2-2-2, Dueling 3-3-1, Illusion 1-2-1
Heal skill is Signet of Ether(SoE)
Utilities are (situational), Signet of Domination, Signet of Midnight
- situational slot can take mantra of power for more damage, null field for support, feedback for projectile defense, blink for movement etc.
Elite is situational: Timewarp to take quickness pressure off main chrono, Signet of Humility for big CC.

Rotation is simple consisting of an opening combo, then a continual rotation
- Open with Sw3->P4->SoE->P4->P4 again as soon as its off cd
- Continual rotation is to auto attack as filler, weapon swap when off cd for Geomancy, use Sw2+P5 off cd.
- If Mantra of Pain is taken charge it before battle and use it’s Power Spike once every time it recharges, there is no cast time for Power Spike and as long as you keep one charge and let it recharge full you wont have to wait through the cast time of Mantra of Pain.

Tell me what you guys think of this build, it’s still theoretical, and it’s obviously quite expensive. I don’t expect anyone to rush out and buy the items required just to test it, i’ll get around to doing that myself sometime soon. It was modeled as a mix between quanTify guild’s power mes and condi mes, making the condi mes more engaging and pulling in higher damage than the scepter could.
