Guild Wars 2

Hey Osicat, just wanted to say how much I appreciate your guide. Without it I don’t I would be enjoying my mesmer as much as I do now. I’ve been really liking the Shatter Cat Hybrid build and think its a ton of fun. I kind of mixed it with your Mist 2.0 in that I have a couple trinkets with P/T/CD and I use sharpening stone instead of maintenance oil. I made a highlight movie with that build.

@Pyro – The think is with your target not attacking is that you are still dishing out damage. It may not be a whole lot, yes, but you will still force your target to have to do something. By keep confusion up, even through cleanses, you will be able to down them. I think the guardian I fought in the video is a bad example, I did end up getting him, but with all those other enemies there, I should have left him last.

@Ross – Thanks for your suggestions. I admit I didn’t react very well to the guardian fight, but that’s is why I included it, to get some feedback.

@skcamow -Your build looks interesting also, I might give it a try. It is very similar to mine. As regards to armor I’m wearing 4/6 Rabid Gear 2/6 Carrion. I run a mix of carrion and rapid in my trinkets. I use Giver’s weapon’s for the increase in duration and for food I use Master Tuning Crystal and Rare Veggie Pizza.

Hey guys,

A really fun new build I’ve been working on, with my mesmer named Phat Max. I’m calling it “Phat Burst”. Its a small aoe/single target confusion burst build using blind. Since this is build is shatter based it is more in your face confusion then your standard confusion glamour build. You can get 15-20 stacks on a target, causing massive damage. A big problem with this build is mobility. It has no way of getting swiftness, I usually switch to focus when roaming around. Because of that, this is more of a group play build and less roaming.

I use Pain Inverter as one of the utilities, I find it synergizes very well with this build. I would use Blink instead of Pain Inverter, if you are not an Asuran.

I have a short video that shows the build in action:

Thanks for looking, open for suggestions/improvements!
