When I played several months ago, Berserker greatsword and swords dominated the scene. It discouraged me from experimenting builds in PvE and it wasn’t as fun.

I’m wondering if this has changed at all? Have they buffed condition damage, etc. to make it more effective in PvE?

Full power + crit phantasm builds with sword/sword and sword/focus are the meta. Unfortunately the last patches hit mesmer very hard, so mesmers have been reduced to portalbots in the broader metagame (though their high reflection uptime gives them a little bit of a place in some places like fractals).

But definitely no greatswords, those are bad.
