Guild Wars 2

So im really enjoying mesmer, but im at a point where im unsure on how to go, this is my current build:

i enjoy using illusions and shattering them, and i mainly like to do PvE and dungeons, right now i feel im very underwhelming but not sure what to cut out, im thinking of switching my weapons around but unsure what weapon sets would work.

So basicly im wanting to do good solid damage without being to squishy, while using clones actively. mostly i can not decide on a weapon combination.

Any suggestions are helpful ^.^

You just linked a blank build page. You might want to update that link.

fixed sorry

Your build seems conflicted as to whether the damage output is going to be conditions or pure damage. You don’t really want to mix the two at all times, ergo it’s sometimes better to go pure damage or pure condition damage versus hybrid.

yeah i figured that, i moved my focus to conditions, probably gonna move some points around a bit

@Kanza, OK mate I gladly help you, need to have some answers thu.

1:You want to do wvwvw or only dungeons and pve?

2:If you wvwvw do you want to run group pvpv, zerg pvp or smal/solo roaming team?

3:Do you want do deal condition dmg or direct dmg?

4: You say no to squishy, tbh al defensive and non defensive mesmer builds (shatter) is based 70% on acctive defense abilitys, you want a tank or solider build?

About your builds you listed form a wvwvw point of wiev 1st look like … a mix max and tbh not optimal. 2Md look like a shuupor tuild whoc an be optimiced.

So Pls send answer my question in a PM, in my guide or in this thread and I help you out when I know what you after.

Untill then I add 2 ids of the Shatter Cat Heavy build, a defensive high dmg build for frontline dmg and superb for dungeons or wvwvw:

thank you for the reply

For now im only wanting to do dungeon/PvE

as for damage im leaning to condition damage, and have been enjoying using the scepter/focus for my weapons, currently using the staff for my other weapon set and have been using shatter skills a lot

as for the not to squishy part, just want to be durable enough that im not dieing often, like getting one shotted from a dungeon boss aoe

^.^ thanks again for the help, im starting to understand the class a lot better

Not getting one-shot by a bosses aoe is simply timing your rolls. Assuming you have a terrible computer and will get hit, try putting points into Tough/Vit (keep them even for best results). There are ConDmg/Tough and ConDmg/Vit gear, but it’s typically better to go full-squish and time your dodges.

Idd as Espen say, surivival as a mesmer at bosses in the PVE guild wars 2 dungeons is alot about your acctive survival. If you going for condition dmg build you prob will go with bounce on staff, get 3 clones out, spec for bleed on clone crit, you say you like to use staff and shatter.

I suggest try play with a 0-20-20-0-30 spec, gear with rabid stats (toughness, preci and condition dmg). This spec work well if you want to test some wvwvw later on and its rather tought to kill so you wont be squishy.

I had some time over so I made a suggestion spec for you, it synergice with combo fields, use the wep you mention. Scepter is a big no no tbh, everytime you get a scepter clone up who overwrite a staff clone you slose dmg as a condition dmg mesmer. I addes sword instead for survival, it save your kitten so many times in dungeons whne you not have time to get out of aoe fields.

My suggestion of a spec for you:
