Guild Wars 2

If your running a phantasm build, you may want to drop deceptive evasion for blade training or far reaching manipulations. In fights where it isnt 4v1 (showcased in your video) you wont notice phantasms being overwritten by it, but they can be, and it isn’t necessary for you to have as many clones up if your not constantly shattering. Survivability is no longer dependent on how many clones you can produce, but how well you can use the ones you have out.

Also, try shattering in between phantasms. I didn’t did you shatter much at all other than distortion. Shattering for a Phantasm build is like a Shatter build not waiting for the phantasms to strike before shattering. Two sides of the same coin where Damage can be added substantially. Granted the damage is a lot less than in a shatter build, but it is by far more than just wisping into butterflies because you got overwritten.

I run a very similar build, with 15/30/0/25/0 so I can have sword training and duelist discipline in Dueling as well as fury. I spend more time on sword so it works for me. My rotation starts with GS, pop phant, swap, pop duelist, go about my business, and I wait till duelist CD is off, not Weapon Swap CD. and i can F3 Shatter for 10-15 extra stacks of Vuln with Daze. pop duelist, swap and pop berserker. Situations pending, this rotation has worked extremely well for me in tPvP and sPvP. 1v1 and 1v2.
