Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

I’m Slynn, a mesmer in [oPP] on Blackgate.

I love watching mesmer videos in WvW and decided to try creating and uploading a few clips. I mainly spend most of my time roaming, either solo or with the great guys from oPP and Riot. Apologies for the lag, its been pretty bad since season 1 started.

I normally rotate builds. Will release this one with a proper guide if enough people want it.

Added Second Video 27/10/13 (a little bit better resolution)

Added Third Video 11/8/13 (SoS/SoR/BG)

Great job. I enjoyed the video : )

Nice video, I would be very interested in hearing more about the build/guide

build?

Im guessing 0/20/20/0/30

Thanks for the feedback.

This is a 10/30/30 hybridish phant build with celestial armour/weapons + rabid trinkets/back

Try to aim for 1500 power and 1500 condi damage, 50% crit chance and 60% crit damage. (with full buffs and food)

Pretty much modified this for 1vX and teamfights. Its a strong build, easy to play, and most importantly really fun.

My favourite build is still a shatter build though. Only problem is shatter is very sensitive to lag.

Very nice vid! Some good fights there. I do have to say though, do you think you could give up your staff cds for bountiful interrupt? You had a massive amount of interrupts in those fights and the amount of might it gives is fantastic. Since your spec is hybrid, you could benefit from might more than most specs, especially from 10-15 stacks

The only trait i can afford to switch with bountiful interrupt is Chaotic Dampening (X) given that PU and Debilitating Dissipation are vital to me.

I normally try to shorten my cds for all my skills whenever possible so clone generation is high. But bountiful interrupt sounds like something viable too, giving it a try now to weight the trade-off :p

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi there, I’ve seen you lots of times in WvW I’m also on BG.
Could you link your entire build? Would love to see your armor and weapons choices. As in how you’ve ended up dividing your stats. I’m also going hybrid but just don’t have as much condi dmg as you do, if you’ve got 1500

Here you go

With 25 condi stacks, guard leech and applied fort you can roughly get the numbers i use.

Did you get to test out Bountiful Interruption ?

Yes i did (swapping out Chaotic Dampening X) for a few fights against 2-3 guys. Most of the time i had 5 might stacks throughout the entire engagement, 10 stacks was seldom, and 15 stacks was very rare (2-3 seconds).

Clone generation wasn’t an issue as the difference between staff 2 and 3 without chaotic dampening was negligible. Chaos storm cd from 28secs to 36 secs was quite noticable for me as when i swapped weapons chaos storm was always still on cooldown (sorta broke my rhythm).

I think bountiful interruptions would be great if it was an even fight, but for 1vX when 3 guys are trying to hit you, i’d still prefer chaotic dampening with 20% cd on all staff skills than 5-10 stacks of might… Very close call though.

I tried using it last night while roaming myself and peaked at 20 stacks of might, usually was able to stay at 15. I feel like it suits a build better that might use Hoelbrak runes or something similar.

Glad you enjoyed it. Added a second video of highlights from yesterday.

I really enjoyed your videos! Your build seems to be very solid and fun to play. But crafting celestial gear takes foreveeeeeer T_T

@Nausicca
Thanks What you can do is grab celestial helm, coat and leggings first as they’ll give the most bump for stats. Alternatively i believe full rabid gear also works with this build. I just like to have a bit more vit/power to even things out a bit.
