I’ve been away for a while and just recently started playing again, and feel like I need a mix up with my mesmer. I’ve always played either power PU Gs s/t/p or condi PU staff S/T. I’m wondering if anyone could help me with any more ideas, I generally focus on roaming / some small scale zergs. I’ve read a lot about lock down builds but they all seem to focus on PvP and I’m wondering are hey effective in wvw? Also would love to use staff in a build with mobility as that’s what always stopped me with my condi build
Any help would be appreciated

I’m also curious about some WvW builds (that work for both roaming and smaller groups 5-10 ppl) that isn’t a type of PU build.
Right now I’m using a shatter build: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQNAR8alknpTtlpxRNcrNCrxg6s26MSOQAlMkrB-TVTBABBu/QWKNEVFiHOIAUq+SEXAgrUi1xRAALlBoobQjHAAGKBBwEUAAEAH9oH9oH9oREA1GA-w
The downside is, well, lack of health and armor (also countered by any condi build).
Ross mentioned in other thread that Shatter has big downsides in WvW so maybe Interrupt/Lockdown build would be better?

For roaming. Those downsides alleviate the moment you have allies with you, either havok or zerg.

Aha, I see. Thanks for clearing that up.
