Q:

hey guys i need help building my new mesmer
i plan to do a high damage build using sword clones dealing damage with their bleed
i dont know what armor to use
should i use rampager for all out damage
knight armor for a bit more survivability and condi damage gained from the toughness wich is not THAT much
or do you have any other sugestion on how i could change it?
the build i plan to use looks like that:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhEQNAsdWlknpMtNoxRNcrNiqxY6XquFSFQpLZitB-TRBBABA8AAoZ/htU+lp6PSqEMAACA7cn7cn7cnBA-e

do you think the condi damage i get from the clones is reliable enough to get high condi damage on my armor since i dont deal any condition with my sword but only my clones will benefit from it
i plan to use this build in pve wvw and dungeons but mostly in wvw for roaming and 1v1

thanks in advance for your help

EDIT: i use torch, not focus as its shown in this build!

EDIT: i wanna take the 2 point from domintaion and put it somewhere else since my illusions dont get the +damage to their conditions but i dont know where to put them

Rabid armor is usually the #1 choice for pvp condition mesmer as you are a slow killer and need to survive while your opponent is bleeding. Check the build sticky post and look for Blackwater and PU/Condition. With time you’ll realize your sword is more defensive than offensive and your staff will do most of the damage, so power isn’t that useful.

i want to focus more on raw damage from the sword and wanted to ask if the bleed from the sharper images is enough to invest condition damage on my armor or not

The bleed is something you can build around IFF you’re doing a condition damage build. Otherwise, it’s totally worthless.

well its a non optional trait so im gonna have it either way :P
so do you think i can build around it even with the sword torch which means only my clones will benefit from it? i was thinking about rampagers gear
or knights as i get +condition damage from my toughness
