Hey guys, so I’m running a gs/phantasm build that focuses on keeping damage-dealing phantasms alive, as well as high damage output from the mesmer himself. I’m currently geared with full berserker’s gear and accessories. I switch out utility skills depending on what I’m doing:
-If I’m in a dungeon, I usually run with feedback/signet of inspiration/null field
-If in WvW, I use feedback/blink/decoy
Offhand weapon is situational as well. I usually use staff for survivability/chaos storm and focus if I’m fighting a boss with projectiles or one that stands still. I also use it for temporal curtain for skipping mobs and running in WvW.
I rarely shatter in dungeons, only towards the ends of fights and if I’m fighting a boss that I know my clones/phantasms will die against. Like I mentioned earlier, I try to keep them alive to get the most DPS output I can. I don’t WvW too much at the moment, but I always want to keep it an option.
So my question is: what runes should I use? I’m leaning towards sup rune of the mesmer for the stats, but I don’t really care much for the 33% daze duration. I looked at rune of the scholar, but I’ve read that critical damage doesn’t transfer over to phantasms.
My current trait allocation:
http://www.gw2build.com/builds/simulator.php#1.8.12.3.0.18.0.0.0.0.180.200.183.199.204.0.0.0.526.528.535.542.545.0.0.0.0.572.0.0.588.0.0.30.20.0.10.10
Any suggestions?
