Build Concept:
1. Mesmer has so many CC type Condis. A Condi that doesn’t need Condi damage to be effective. Ex: Immob/ Criple/ Vuln
2. Mesmer have the best Immob in this Game From Sword #3. 2s Base immob every 6s with 40% CDR
3. If posible plz make Power + Condi Duration food, Dear Anet.
4. GS for Poking/ Chasing/ AOE damage. While Main Hand Sword to abuse 2s Immob base every 6s if enemy “Ignore” you
5. Off Hand Pistol gives you 2s Stun Base and Good Phantasm Power based damage.
6. If they have Stab, Use Sword #3 Immob. So you can always “Control” ur enemy
7. If you have 0,1s less from next “Check point” It will rounded up for Boons and Condis. Example 65% Condi dura will put 1,65s in iZerker Criple. But it rounded up to 1,75s.
8. Heal removes 2x Condis gives better sustain to set up Kill or Damaging type Condis
9. Mesmer damage is low and “Not Pure” But compensate that with CC + Agile Playstyle. It’s easier to input a Command in Mesmer. Mesmer can accept input while in Mid air while Warrior normally need to finish the animation 1st (Brute Playstyle)
10. Rune of Centaur gives Some Support role for ur team and it has 100more power compared Traveler.
11. 2300 is Amazing value for DEF.
12. Arcana Thievery is amazing. IT doesn’t need any face check anymore and it can be used defensively or offensively.
13. Food is Koi Cake. 40% Condi dura. Total 65% in GS for 1,75s iZerker and 55% in Sword for 3s Immob Sword #3.
14. Hard Counters = Thief in 1v1 coz stealh spam using ur Phantasm, DD EL with 2700 DEF coz perma might + Insane Sustain.
15. Purpose of this Build : Enjoy every Game modes in WVW with only 1 Build and have fun in team fight.
- Why Centaur instead of Pack runes?
- 3rd point in Domination seems awkward. Either drop it to pick up Illusionary elasticty for GS, or take a point from somewhere to get Shattered Conc or GS mastery.
- Seems a waste to run -40% sword cd and not run OH sword for the phantasm. You may want to consider getting -40% cd on the Duelist instead (you still would have -20% cd on leap.)
Finally:
SINCE WHEN DID THE FACING REQUIREMENT GET REMOVED FROM AT. WTF????
@QQing
Probably.. I don’t have anything in mind other than that Sigil. Maybe Sigil of Fire so Sword #2 become more bursty?
@Adelaide
- Centaur gives swiftness. Need swiftness for repos. But yeah Rune of Pack might be a good Choice also. I should give it a try
- Yeah it’s somewhat Awkward. 15% Trait, 10% Sigil, 40% Koi Cake gives total 65% when wielding GS so it gives 1,75s Criple from iZerker. Rounded up from 1,65s to 1,75s
- Well it’s about playstyle. In Teamfight i rarely make a kill using Sword #1 because Pure Melee class #1 damage is so pain. With 6s Sword leap i can do 2x Sword leap within 8s of Weapon swap. Leap at 1st sec and another leap at 7th or 8th Sec then Weapon Swap again. My Fav moves is 2nd leap -> Weapon swap -> iZerker. PRetty much can secure a huge damage coz enemy is still immoed
- I Heard they fix it in December patch but i realized it around 1-2 month ago :S
[Edited]
- About OH Sword. Yes it’s good but somewhat i forgot how to play using Sword. Pistol is better for me coz the stun 2-2,5s. It’s really good to set up a kill esp in team play. iGunner also become real troll when channeling above a Fire or Ice Field. Well with 55% Condi dura while wielding Sword + Pistol Combo Projectile Burning or chill looks nice.
Build Concept:
1. Anet nerf Sword #3. I sad
2. So let’s become a AOE Bombardment with GS CD 40%.
3. GS Sigil can be either Force or Energy. Force is better for Sniping Damage/ Team Fight, Energy for duel/ Solo/ Roaming. Sigil of Air is a must. Best DPS coz we have high Power.
4. Sword sigil is Bloodlust. Get Power from stack while fighting to have bigger GS#1 Beam Damage.
5. Still same 1,75s Criple from iZerker except without Sigil of Malice now. Because lv 25 Power trait gives 25% Condi Dura. Koi Cake 40 + Trait 25 = 65 -> Rounded up!!
6. Using Rune of Pack. Same in Combat mobility compared Rune of Centa. But SUCKS for solo roaming.
