Guild Wars 2

I’ve been playing Osicats Mist build but also trying Glamour and Condition builds resulting in this hyrid setup: http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/mesmer/?4.0|c.1g.h17.d.1g.h2|6.1c.h16|1b.7i.1b.7i.1b.7i.1b.7i.1b.7i.1b.7i|3v.d16.2w.0.3w.0.1b.0.1b.0.1b.0|0.k00.k00.0.u000|0.0|31.39.38.3d.0|e

I’m not sure what direction to go with the accessory slots coming up on a Laurel purchase and am seeking some advice from the forums.

I would say I’m a good player but seem to do better with this current setup than Osicats Mist build (more kills). Could it be just bad players just attack through confusion?

Areas I’m pretty firm on:
1. 0/20/20/0/30 seems to be the best setup for me
2. Weapons

Areas for input:
1. Runes of Lyssa seem to be a nice reset, but not sure about the precision
2. Amulet and accesssory slot
3. Armor
4. Sigils
5. Slot skills
6. Traits – Illusionary Persona (can’t seem to get away from it, I find it so useful to finish or get my elite to cast via distortion)

Thanks,
QP

I use this build with Rabid gear (and carrion/rabid amulets). With right now Undead runes (Condi/Toughness), might pick Nightmare over Undead.
I have Sigil of Fire on Sword and Corruption on focus, as I get most kills with them (chasing down players with Into the Void and Leap). Staff has an Energy on swap sigil (more clones).

As for traits, I pick:

Far-Reaching Manipulations
Deceptive Evasion

Master of Manipulation
Mirror of Anguish

Confusing Cry
Master of Misdirection
Illusionary Persona

As I have both manipulation traits, I always slot blink and decoy. Then I switch Mirror Images for Arcana Thievery (if I’m going against condi/boon heavy class: necro, ranger and engineer).

Eating the Veggi Pizza (Condi duration +40%, condi dmg) and the master tuning crystal (%of tough and vit as condition damage).

And to answer your question, you get more kills because people melt on confusion, they’re all bad. Seen it myself, confusion is OP in WvWvW and can tick for 3k if well stacked.
