This is for someone I met in Pvp This is a Pu boon/crit condi build I use for pvp and roaming Its called:
FairyTail’s Finest Build:
Look at every trait and what they grant. It will help you understand the potential of this build.
Weapons:
Staff:
because it has alot of clones and most of this builds damage comes from condis. Also learning to use your Chaos storm to interrupt is important. look for heals or moves with big give aways.
Sc/T:
Scepter because it has a block which goes along with the theme of this build of boons, and because it can create illusions. Torch is great for repositioning and confusing the enemy.
I took Halting strike because this build dabbles in the interrupt capabilities of a mesmer.
Crits are important because the illusions will deal bleed on crits, not only that, you also gain vigor on crits. Also with Retalitory shield you get retaliation on blocks which ties in with PU and all the other things that grant blocks.
Chaos I take PU for obvious reasons, if its not obvious, it goes along with blocks from aegis and invis. Bountiful interruption goes along with the interrupts and the boon side of this build. I use debilitating dissapation because most of the time ppl will kill the illusions thus granting more condis.
I put 10 in to illusions to get some confusion, to further more cripple the enemy.
Utiites:
I use decoy because it grants stealth and an illusion. very useful and its a stun break.
I use sig of domination for the extra passive condi dmg, but then if i need to intterupt or lock down an enemy ill activate the 3 sec stun.
I use sig of inspiration because it grants boons like crazy, also it is amazing in team fights.(lyss runes+ sig of insertion….)
Runes/Sigils:
For runes I use lyssa runes. Everything in lyss runes boosts this build even more, crit chance, condi duration, and boons. Sigils are up to you but these are the ones i choose.
Tips:
-Watch you HP and use your heal as much as you can. using your heal gives you a boon because of lyssa runes. if that boon is aegis, you can burn your aegis to get retaliations. if that boon is regen, then you also get protection (Chaos 15).
-Use you elite to engage. alot of people save their elites because they are elites. enaging with mass invis not only gives you positional advantage, it gives you alllllll boons(lyss runes)
- Stand still. once you get in the heat of battle, it can be very hard to find the true mesmer out of the illusions. if you see your opponent is lost or they are just spamming moves, dont move and auto attack. get some cd’s and keep applying condis.
- Invis trix. decoy is a very versitile tool. If you stand still and wait to finish an auto AND then pop decoy, they will think you are still standing there while you are invis walking around.
- Invis. When you go invis the best thing to do is get either to a position where LOS will help you, or simply run behind them about 600-900 range and start attacking. its advised that you pop some clones tho so when they turn around theres three of you and its that much harder to find you.
-Chaos armor. ONLY use this if the enemy knows where you are. if they are swinging at clones and you pop Chaos armor, you sir just put a big purply target around.
- Chaos field. most people know this but chaos storm is an ethereal field, phase retreat is a leap finish…… Chaos storm+ Phase retreat= Chaos armor.
-Shattering. This build is not about shattering. its about leaving your clones to do work. The one shatter you should 90% of the time NOT use is mind wreck. This is a condi build, mind wreck only does about 1k total.
.Cry of fustration should be used when an enemy does an attack that channels more then one attack. ex: hundred blade warrior. Pistol whip thief. Meteor shower Ele, flame thrower engi, zerk guards with GS.
Diversion can be used to interrupt enemies to grant more retaliation and what not. also pro tip- use it on enemies rezzing.
Distortion should be used when you heal is on cd and you are about 40% hp or less.
Any questions just ask.
