[sPvP Build] Chaos Brawler
Maybe I shouldn’t have been so humble in my first post…
After getting a bit more practice with it and pretty much dominating a lot of matches, I can confidently say that it works really well.
I simply don’t die with this build. And if I shatter quickly enough the damage doesn’t feel like “slow” condition damage either…
I’ve had quite a few thieves, med guards and power shatter mesmers open up aggressively onto me blowing their cooldowns, only to go down miserably around 15 seconds later.
It’s a pretty mesmery playstyle I feel: The enemy thinks they got you on the defense and while they fail to kill you ( blinds/blocks/evades/interrupt ) they don’t realize that the conditions are wearing them down.
Anyway, I would be happy to get some kind of feedback or critisism.
Frankly, while it has a bit of a different approach, I feel that my build is more well thought out than most other builds I see posted…
For example, everyone picks Blinding Dissipation, but compared to how much it shines in my build, it seems almost random everywhere else.
Pretty standard post-patch condition build using Scepter/x and whatever off set.
Pretty much every single condition mesmer post-patch is running something similar with one or two minor trait/gear alterations.
I don’t mean to be dismissive but when you’re coming out with comments like “For example, everyone picks Blinding Dissipation, but compared to how much it shines in my build, it seems almost random everywhere else.” I find that pretty condescending to many players – the only “different” thing about this build is using generosity sigils instead of energy sigils.
Yeah, not to rain on your parade, but calling this ‘my build’ is hilariously presumptuous, especially with the comments about how much more thought out this build is than other ones.
This build, with one or two alterations based on weapons used and such, is just the normal PvP condie build that any mesmer running PvP condie uses. It’s not special, it’s not any more well thought out than the others, it’s just…normal with no particularly big changes other than those generosity sigils (which, I’d argue, are a far far far worse choice than energy).
You guys are being too harsh on the OP. Not everyone that visits this forum is a regular and veteran player. I’m sure at least someone appreciated his post since it at least gave an explanation for the build and the playstyle. (Glancing over the build, it looks good to me.) If you didn’t find it helpful, just move along; no need to bash the guy for whatever forum “etiquette” you feel was broken.
I don’t get why people get all riled up when someone “claims” a build. Who really cares? Every build now that we’re confined to just 3 trait lines is going to be similar to another build.

Well, you sorta answered your own question.
Specifically though, it’s the rather condescending tone that he uses when talking about how ‘his build is so much better thought out and obviously superior than all the other condie builds’, because it’s not. It’s what everybody else is already using, nothing new, nothing groundbreaking, and definitely nothing obviously superior to all the other ones.
What pyro said.
It’s nothing to do with “claiming” a build – it’s the condescending tone the OP uses, “no one else is clever enough to think of this build” that prompted me to say something.
No offence OP, but there are thousands of mesmers in the game, and of those mesmers who actively visit this forum and play condition builds I’ll wager the vast majority of them have figured out this “groundbreaking” build.

Thats the funny thing about posts. I didn’t get the the feel that the post was that condescending but you guys did. I just felt some guy was excited about a build he was using and wanted to share it with others. You guys dismiss the general overtone of the post and zero in on the one comment that was questionable. Maybe all of the builds he did see had little synergy and thus led to his comment that the posts he saw seemed less synergistic.
Regardless though, just move along if you didn’t find it helpful. No need to bash people who are trying to be helpful in my eyes.
Edit: Do not assume every poster on the internet is the same as you. Maybe he’s a kid, someone with a mental disability, etc. that isn’t quite on the same level as you. Would you bash a kid for every small thing you find offensive?

I read though the OP again with a different set of eyes and can see where you’re coming from – there are only a few comments that come across to me in that tone but the rest is natural excitement which I like to see.
So I apologise to the OP if I’ve misinterpreted your intent – although I would suggest changing the comment about blinding dissipation and not being so humble.
Jeez man, some people are so touchy. It’s not a kittening contest. The guy is presenting a build he’s played with. Whether he thinks it’s “his”, or if it’s someone else’s, who cares? I don’t care if he calls himself the best mesmer in the world and everyone else is lame.
Grow up peeps.

Touchy much?
;)
for condi mes this is the standard setup mostly
your sword make it more dueling aspect than team fight
but your slow mobility affect you dueling capability
good build overall (not great) and wont become meta with low slow condi dmg
i have somehow almost the same concept
video is uploading and i will post (my buid) soon
Haha, atleast I got some attention now!
I didn’t really mean to come across as condescending, but to call it a"standard condi build these days" doesn’t seem fair to me…
Ofcourse the traits are pretty much the same, but please point me to where someone used the same heal/utitility setup. The mirror adds a lot of survivability to this build.
Then there is Signet of Midnight, which benefits the build in pretty much every situation (even passively).
Most people run Mistrust and Staff, which will never be on par with the shatter potential of scepter and DE ( big difference in damage ) !
I don’t want to get loads of praise or get my ego stroked.
But I think I had some good ideas that most people were not aware of…
Edit: please don’t take this in the wrong way – I’m not an unpleasant person!
Everone going into Chaos traiting MoM is taking Mirror heal – which is pretty much every single condition build taking Chaos.
I’d say almost everyone playing condition shatter is taking DE in Duelling because Mistrust isn’t good enough.
Everyone playing condition shatter is taking scepter/x and whatever second set (either sword/x or staff).
I am happy that you are happy because it is a good build – but it is nothing more than a standard condition shatter build post patch.
Edit: Signet of Midnight has fewer converts yet I’d say, because between blink/decoy and condition removal or portal it has a lot to compete with, so that is your unique thing along with generosity sigils.

No problem.
Maybe I was unlucky and did only see the much less optimal builds posted.
Maybe between my first post and today everyone came to the same conclusions, which now seem obvious…
The reason I got excited and kind of proud, was that everything in this build is working together so nicely ( the blocks, the blinds ; as I said – 100% synergy ).
I don’t care about taking credit or anything, but I just haven’t seen any build this … lets say “well rounded”.
More like, I don’t think anyone posted the standard Condi Shatter build because it has a sort of obvious optimization to it that the basic set up is predictable and likely widely known, thus an unclaimable build.
No worries, it’s a good build so I’d be proud as well – enjoy it!
