Guild Wars 2

I run a set up close to Seven’s build of survivability, but find myself hardly using the elite skills. I usually stay with stealth when I am in a jam, but it seems like a waste.

Is it me or are the mesmer elites pretty weak? What do you use and why? WvW.

Mass Invisibility is solid for roaming in small groups, and Time Warp is great for taking gates faster.

Outside of that, they’re not all that great.

Roaming/Scouting I’ll use Mass invis for obvious reasons.

Zerg i’ll take timewarp for mass rezzing, quick stomping, or the occasional speed for golems.

Ive taken the extra second of stealth trait (and have mass boon duration in my build), so I’ve taken mass invis. I slot it into my regular rotation. It doesnt just get your out of jams, but gives you time to let CD’s open up. You can also use it to pull friendlies out of a withdraw, stomp an enemy without interrupts, and hide downed friendlies for revives. Look for oportunities to use it, they’re there, and on a 90 second cd you won’t be wasting it.

I used to run TW and rarely ever used it. I’d save it for stomps and revives. After the haste nerf I found it just wasn’t fast enough anymore. Though, if I weren’t running a stealth strong build, I’d probably still use it for those very reasons. If you can make good use of combo fields, then try and use TW for that. Not to mention, if you have 3 clones up, get all of you in it and just wail on your target for 10 seconds. It makes a difference.

Jackums.3496:

I always keep Mass Invisibility as my default. I mostly roam solo or in small groups, and it’s great for getting the jump on an enemy that hasn’t seen you coming.

I’ll switch to Time Warp during sieges and zerg vs. zerg situations.

This. Have a nice day!
