Wondering if everything looks ok plannig on doing dungeons and fractals.Basically the plan is stacking might with weapons and skills then spreading it around with Soi while also having reflects to back up team mates.Is there anything i need to change around?

Drop 10 in illusions for 10 in dueling and take empowering mantras, then replace the strength runes with scholar runes. Use perception stacking instead of bloodlust and swap duelist’s discipline for blade training. Possibly swap off-hand pistol for off-hand sword, though either is fine.

You were pretty close to the mark though, I know I’d be pretty hopeless at coming up with builds myself – I prefer to look at metas and understand why rather than create my own.

So in general, mesmers just aren’t very good at might stacking by themselves. SoI is very potent at capping out stacks, but it’s better at doing that with stacks that someone else gave you. You have to sacrifice too much of your damage and utility to really get anywhere close to decent might stacking, so I’d probably steer clear of that sort of concept.

hm this looks way better than what i made though im wondering is phantasmal haste not worth it?and i switched my healing to go with the new trait but im wondering if i should give up on might stacking and switch out to sigils of force and is SOI worth keeping on or is there something else more effective

alright guess ill give up on might stacking sounded fun in my head but when i got to making the build started doubting if i could keep it up without GS or something

P.Haste is not worth it due to being all sorts of bugged. It doesn’t work with the swordsman, doesn’t work with the zerker, doesn’t work with the warden. It only works with the duelist and warlock.

Generally in PvE you will get more damage out of your phantasms then shattering. If you are really set on this then swap Null Field for Mirror Images, use Feedback slot for w/e glamour is needed. Shattering for might though, to maximize the share and not having your clones die during the weapon swap… prolly be better to have a sc/f. Sharing 10-12 might and then SotE to get phantasms up quickly again? Fire fields and blast finishers are a better might stacking option though…

This is the build I run for pugs especially fractals since it is easy to switch out traits for any situation. But on the same token as the might stacks, it is generally more efficient to run Empowered Mantras.
