Trying out a new build that has been working well for me in solo arenas.

S/S and GS
You are a bit squishy with this build, but the blinds/distortion/retaliation and Feedback make up for it.
Fight from the outside of the battle and let your clones do most of the work. Drop Feedback on the ranged classes.
Activating a signet grants distortion. I usually pop Signet of Midnight when I’m close to dying for the AoE blind and distortion, which then grants me time to cast my Signet of the Ether for healing and another second of distortion equalling 2 full seconds of distortion.
You give up mobility with this build, and there is no blink. You get use to it. Once you get your timing down on when to pop distortions and using feedback, you become near invincible.
I hope you enjoy the build. Any tips and constructive criticism is most welcomed.
