current meta mesmer build
Meta for what? There are many viable builds for every game type. Maybe tell us what you want to play / focus on…
for WvW… the traits, stats of armor, weapon, etc..
there is no real meta for wvw and if there was, anet would nerf it right away. since glam/immortal mes nerf there is not much left unless u wanna go veilbot or roam

I actually like that there isn’t “the one build” so i can tailor my mesmer to my own needs. Aside from sub par tagging I really have no complaints. And tbh the problem is in the tagging mechanic, not the class.
I still find my mesmer more enjoyable than my guardian, which gets allllll the bags but has just the one build
I want it to make sense right away, then another sense later. Murkiness =/= quality "

any interesting roaming build that is strong in 1vs1 good vs other roamers and good at picking single targets in zerg fights?
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.
try my new build if you want

The only class that you would have a lot of trouble fighting is ironically shatter and phantasm mesmers.

if i am not mistaken, there are 2 builds right? phantasm and clone mesmers, which of these 2 are more of a killer and a support type?

is what I use in T1

i would like to use staff and sword/pistol, i don’t know the right traits, and armor/weapon…
What will you be doing? Whatever build you end up going with, I suggest taking a GS in your bag along with you. Give it a try. I find it’s superior in almost every situation to the staff. Also for WvW, Prismatic Understanding and Debilitating Dissipation + Deceptive Evasion is awesome.

There is no meta-game in WvW, at all.
I would say the PU perplex rune condi build is the best if you don’t mind the slow run speed .
There isn’t really a meta build around for Mesmer’s these days,
If anything, the few good variants we have are PU builds (xx30xx) that are either condition based, (see Osi’s condi cat/Blackwater build) hybrids and I think there were also a few damage ones out there, PU builds are pretty much for WvW roaming, with limited success in pvp/pve imo.
Then you have the phantasm builds which are great for duelling, alright for roaming but not as good as they used to be because of this condition/stun meta, and the optimal choice for Pve.
Shatter builds….. I’m actually not sure, I guess people still play them but I really haven’t seen much about them in quite some time ^^
There is no meta-game in WvW, at all.
