These are the builds i enjoyed playing and testing.

Open traits and skills where swapped out often depending on the situation. I do not have all ascended gear im just using optimal gear on the builder.
Im using Hoelbrak runes on the power builds because they are cheap and have good effects.

My Celestial Bleed/Damage Fun

Utility 3 can be swapped

Personal Clonedeath PU

Traditional Shatter

Remember to keep an extra stacks weapon for each build(an extra 250 precision/power/condi depending on the build).

And finally my favorite
The Power PU (Pretty much Osicats newest build with the gear i had laying around).
This is not just a phantasm PU you will shatter and it feels very dynamic dont just sit back and expect your ai to do the work.

I am not done with this post it will be edited later to add some fight descriptions, the strengths and weaknesses, how they handle 1vX, counters, and maybe play styles.

If you have any personal questions about the builds please ask.

I’m playing 0/20/30/0/20 build nowadays.

phantasmal haste works pretty well on phantasmal duelist.

I’m very confused on some of these builds. On your Celestial Bleed/Dmg build, I don’t get trait V in illusions. The only thing I see that would apply confusion is if you shatter with cry of frustration.

On your personal clone death build, scepter 2 inflicts torment. Then one of the rune bonuses is 2 stacks of torment on heal. But is torment inflicted through any other method? I always wondered about this when using the torment runes.

Just to be clear I’m not picking at your builds I’m just asking so I better learn and understand. Cheers!

It increases the length of scepter 3 by a decent amount causing people to condi clear or adding to great damage. The celestial build was just for fun but turned out nice in 1v1 and 1v2.
For the tormenters runes they increase the damage insanely on the block and you can use your heal in invis for aoe condi stacking. Pretty sure if a thief doesnt clean the torment on that build just the scepter block can wreck its hp pool.

My apologies….I didn’t see the scepter in the 2nd weapon set. Sometimes I’m blind LOL. Thanks for the info on the tormenting runes.
