Guild Wars 2

I have been messing around with Inspiration since they fixed pet regen. So far I have had encouraging results but with a small dataset.

Basically I go 0 20 20 25 5 and spec sword, focus and staff. Fighting involves the standard mirror images/ blurred frenzy /mindwrack followed by switching to staff and standing on the warden pet and casting defender. I have the Orr precision/vit/healing gear with cleric weaps/jewellry. This seems to work well against PD thieves which I always had a problem with. edit→ also omnomberries are a must (hope they don’t nerf this)

Seems to work well and is very tanky. I am worried that GS warriors and DD eles will eat me though. Anyone have any luck running an inspiration build in WvW?

I would go with more cleric gear than you’re using. All that vit isn’t going to help you mitigate enough damage from the classes you’re worried about. Are you aoe mantra healing with your build? If you are not you may be better off going another route imho.

It is strange just how well this build works. Doesn’t have much burst but great survivability and good sustained DPS. I have tryed all the popular builds and have a bank full of differant gear. Dwayna runes and melee range regen fron defender along with omnomberries seem to be key.

Don’t be afraid to try different things the next meta mesmer build is waiting to be discovered

I am currently using a 0/20/20/20/10 build with staff + sword/focus (or pistol) and surprisingly, it gives a decent amount of dps, survivability, and control. I was able to impress someone in an AC dungeon path 2 run during the spike traps where I was kiting the gravelings instead of a warrior or guardian.

But backing to WvW, I am curious of trying it as well, but like what Quercus said, nothing wrong with trying out different things. Like this one, it’s a discovery!
