Hey Guys,
So I’m just looking for some opinions on different specs to try out. I currently am doing this build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/en/?fgEQNAW8alwzKqHVzgGaNJhZG9G5nZo8ojWQ5D4G
I find that I’m pretty much unkillable 1v1 and sometimes 2v1. My main focus is roaming WvW with a small group DAOC style picking off stragglers and pulling people from zerg, we also take smaller objectives to gain a bit of attention.

Here is a screenshot of my current gear: [URL=http://imgur.com/73jIP][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/73jIP.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I’m trying to keep most of the stats around a balanced level, while focusing on condition without going too heavy to mess up the other stats. I really like the survivablity that toughness is bringing to the table. I’m just wondering what you think are stats I should perhaps favour over others, or other specs to try out for a bit more flavour.

I have 3 exotic jewelry left to replace, and besides boots and gloves everything else is level 80 exotic with a rune of the undead. So any opinions on jewelry to replace and different fun specs would be greatly appreciated.

I like your build alot, altough I personally rather like taking feedback instead of as it helps alot in group fights. I might see myself use a similar build in the future when I hop into WvW with my mesmer.

Kaname Tanuma – 80 Necromancer
Far Shiverpeaks – Bubblegum Dragons [GUM]

1. Chaotic Transferecne is a very marginal ability and I would avoid it in general unless you are going for a 30 point trait.

2. I highly recommend you select a second weapon set. Mesmers, and all classes, are much more powerful when swapping between two weapon sets.

3. For WvW, I generally recommend Blink over Decoy. Personally I take both, but if you have to choose between the two, Blink will enable you to avoid much more damage and escape more effectively.

Thanks for the feedback thus far. I wasn’t aware that the second weapon wasn’t being shown. I use Sword/Pistol / Staff

As far as chaotic transference, it stacks with undead so you get a bonus 10% which equates to around 66 condition(the 5% currently). Roughly an extra piece of condition gear.

For my final 3 jewelry I was thinking. Chrysocola Orichalcum Ring and two Emerald Orichalcum Earring. Bringing my toughness to ~1450 and i believe my condition damage will be roughly ~1425 with my power hitting ~1550.

Any thoughts? I’m also open to completely different specs. I’m trying to build well rounded gear so that I can switch it up whenever I get bored.
