Guild Wars 2

Hi! I am My Face Is Pi from the Tarnished Coast server. This is my third video ever so any feedback on how to improve future videos is greatly appreciated!

This episode includes a lot of thief destruction! Thieves are generally a hard counter to shatter mesmers so it was fun to turn the tables on them!

Feel free to give me constructive feedback on my gameplay. I am by no means the best player out there but I like to think I’m pretty good ;P

If you like the video and want to message me in game, my in game name is Guapo.1624
Any support is welcome! I’m going for twilight so I need all the help I can get

And Happy Super Pi Day from My Face is Pi!!! 3/14/15

Awesome game play. Watching this videos always makes me try shatter in wvw but I suffer from slow fingers. Again nice game play.

MOA TIME!!!

It’s fun to see someone going all-in on shatters with Mental Torment. You seem to have a well-developed sense of exactly when to pull the trigger on Mind Wrack even without all your clones up.

Tarnished Coast represent.

Thanks so much guys! I’m glad you are enjoying my videos.

Haha nice timing – happy Pi day. xD

Entertaining play, although I prefer to use iElasticity for the extra mirror blade burst, as well as boon strip and situationally blade training instead of 1200 blink.

Oops I had the wrong build link haha. This is what I am running currently and I updated it in the original post too.

Great video! Although I am new to this game I can see that you have much practice and know the mechanics well.
My question is: Would you recommend Shatter for sPvP. I mostly play solo because of my VERY sporadic gaming time. I have tried Shatter and since I am just messing around I have played a few games Unranked, ofc, and have had some success. I know you might say, “if it works, do it!” but, is there a “variation” of shatter that could be more of a team play build?(I follow the group and play off of their plays) I was thinking of rolling with GS/Staff as weapons, and I am pretty sure that the traits don’t have MUCH wiggle room, for Shatter, especially with the Illusions trait line. I roll with the GS training trait over torch…pretty much all I have changed.
I’d imagine this has been discussed in length… and I don’t want to start a dead topic… But any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance and cheers!

I run GS/Staff, it’s a pretty popular combo. Shattered Concentration is the master trait you want to slot in the Domination line, not the weapon traits. Being able to strip boons is really important when you need to set up CC and burst damage on a target.

Personally in SPvP I run the exact same build but with shattered concentration instead of the torch trait. You can also change the Sigil of Bloodlust to any other Sigil that fits your fancy. I would suggest energy, fire, or even doom. I have never tried the staff/greatsword shatter build because I love sword/torch too much but it is a great weapon set for team fights! Either way you go, the main purpose of shatter Mesmer in PvP is to be a roamer where you can quickly murder someone with a well timed burst or decap a point no one is paying attention to. Hope this helps! If you have any more questions or I didn’t answer to your satisfaction don’t be afraid to message me in game.
