For a phantasm buil which do you think is better. am running with a GS and a sword/x.
I know swordsman does more dps and has a block but duelist hits more times and has a stun.
Any advice from the expert mesmers and best forums please?

I say traited pistol. Here’s a vid from the other day

I love the sword, I really do. But it has its shortcomings. The phant is a close range phant compared to iDuelist, and the block takes hits before the riposte.

Pistol. The Stun is just too good for not using it.
Sure, more survibility with sword, because of block, but how I said, the stun is just too good and the clone on pistol does good damage, too.
