Guild Wars 2

I am using Sword/Focus and Sceptor/Pistol while leveling. This is what works for me at the moment. Now that I am at the level to start adding traits I don’t want to add a trait for each weapon. Which weapon in your opinion would need a trait least of all?

Least = scepter. Ignore this trait unless you have a very specific build in mind. If you’re going 20 in inspiration then better to trait for focus.

Sword is good to trait for, given the higher cooldown of blurred frenzy. Pistol only if you spend a lot of points in duelling (at least 20), but it competes with deceptive evasion, 1200 blink and phantasmal fury, all of which are solid choices.

Yeah, Curunen got it right with scepter. You really don’t want to trait that,it won’t help you at all.

In terms of high priority traiting, the focus is almost always number 1. If you can trait the focus, do so. After focus would be sword, and then lastly pistol.

OK… I think I will trait Focus and Sword. Trying to do a build closer to phantasm, but there is so many ways you can go with a mesmer. My ranger and warrior were simple as far as trait.
