Guild Wars 2

Finally hit 80 from my mesmer purely from WvW. Took me 110 hours lulz.

But anyways, lets get to the point. I’ve been running a pure Power/Precision build from level 1. I wanted to be a glass cannon.

To this day, I am still this philosophy, but I know that its not realistic.

My main goals for my mesmer are these
*Stay as true to Phantasmal build as possible
*Extract as much damage as I can from Phantasms and the Phantasmal build
*Focus 80% on damage 20% on survivablility

Been running Sword/Pistol/Greatsword since the beginning. Since I’ve been a pure glass cannon from the start, I’ve definitely learned how to get out of a sticky situation, quite effectively so that’s why I am only focusing 20% on survivability.

I just dropped 5G’s on auction house berserkers, WvW berserker weps, major runes, and sigils.

Question is, I want to be geared to all hell. What dungeons should I be running? I want to be a straight up JERK in WvW lulz.

try this shatter build if you want to live a little dangerously and blow everything up.

conversely here is the same website with a blank template if you want to theory craft your own build. http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/mesmer/?4.0|0.0.0.0.0.0|0.0.0.0.0.0|0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0|0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0|0.0.0.0.0|0.0|0.0.0.0.0|e

If you’re looking for dungeons for Berserker stats go for CoE, CoF and Arah.

Phantasms can run full berserk, although I sometimes switch to my valkyrie armor set for a little more beef and a different runeset, but the difference between the two is slightly negligible (2k hp vs 10% crit chance).

For runes, if you want the cheap route, go for Ruby Orbs. You can switch to something like Runes of the Air or Centaur for more mobility, Scholar if you’re extremely competent, Melandru for condition defense, and a few other sets which are all your preference.

Sigils, you’re going to want Energy (if you can afford it) and probably a Bloodlust or Precision stacking sigil. You can also run some Night on secondary weapon sets (preferably with Ghastly [Ascalonion Catacombs] skin so they glow at night so you see if the sigils are on or off). You can also run Battle, Might, Accuracy, Force, Air, Fire. There are a few things I’m missing.
