Probably the highest condi damage you can get as a mesmer. It is still fairly bursty to my taste. Often I drop portal for signet of inspiration and get shattered strength for some more might.

edit: fairly similar to Eberouge

Hi. How much success do you have with this build? Maybe I will try PvP again, though I remember having some frustrating rubberbanding issues a while ago =/

I am currently running a build like that looks like this

Dueling – Phantasmal Fury, Blinding Dissipation, Deceptive Evasion
Chaos – Illusionary Defense, Chaotic Transference, Bountiful Disillusionment
Illusions – Compounding Power, Shattered Strength, Malicious Sorcery.

For my extra skills, I have Blink, Signet of Domination, Signet of Midnight, and Time Warp.

My gear is Prec/ConditionDmg/Toughness with Rune of the Undead, giving me just under 2,000 Condition Damage and Just under 50% Crit without any buffs.

I’m just trying to increase my sustained DPS (against say, a training dummy). Not sure if Shattered Strength or Maim the Disillusioned should be taken right now. Also, I think Scepter 15% faster attack speed seems too good to pass up over Ineptitude especially since Confusion/Shattering kinda sucks now, but seems like people to combine the blind and confusion still? Criticize this build please

I should add that, (due to playing from Australia), my ping always hovers around 300ms. As a result… I focus on PvE

Returning after almost 3 years.

I use staff 90% of the time, using dodge rolls to make illusions while stacking precision so clones applied bleeding with Sharper Images (the stats I had on my gear were precision, condition damage and toughness).
Shattering without Power was always weak and illusions used to inflict conditions upon death, but I would Shatter for a little bit of damage and confusion stacks if Staff3 was up or I had vigor etc.
I never felt like I had a lot of burst as a condi mesmer, but that was fine with me due to high survivability and great sustained damage. However, it seems like nowadays I don’t deal any damage and just survive.

Is there are newer way to build condition mesmers? Also, I would usually use Sword/Focus as 2nd weapon set, but it was more for mobility between mobs in dungeons, whereas I kept to staff in battle.

So much has changed and I feel a little overwhelmed with how different everything is (like burning stacks now?!?!) so any advice on a good condition mesmer with weapon/stat/trait recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you!
