Guild Wars 2

with toughness being one of the primary things affecting aggro. Could a mesmer be the best at safely holding down a boss/mobs most tender attentions? I was wondering if a build that had really really high toughness and could pump out clones could completely lock down the attention of npcs?

something sorta like

any one ever tried something like this b4 in a dungeon and is this as cool as I hope it is?
[edit] with an eye towards 40+ fotm

I managed to do Caudecus story by myself. It took me a lot, like 2,5 hours, but it’s possible.
I’ve tried other runs, like Crucible of Eternity or Twilight Arbor, but most of them need more than one player to do them or bosses are simply too strong for 1.

This is the build. There are some changes depend on the boos I was fighting.

And a pic of it:

Hi OP: your build is very very similarly to one of my builds. I have tried it in fractals but in PvE & dungeons in generally i can confidently that yes, you can easily lock down the boss with your clones & cripple.
