Thanks for the great advice Ross.
I did some extensive testing over last few days, tried a bunch of different trait/sigil/weapon setups and I came to this conclusion: conditions just aren’t my cup of tea… After playing glassy balls to the wall zerker setups for so long, this felt so … sluggish. I would win a lot more fights and manage to escape almost any situation but it didn’t feel fun to me.
So thanks again but I’ll stick to shattering everything into oblivion

I’m guessing you mean in combat mobility?
Does the 25% speed bonus weigh up to the damage from the extra confusion stacks?
The rune difference in confusion damage doesn’t seem that trivial to me t.b.h…
In all honesty, thinking more and more about it I’m probably going to go for a more mantra 0/6/6/2/0 type build. My biggest worries were conditions and those I can deal with more easily. I won’t be chasing down runners but then again, I don’t don’t do that now
Good afternoon everyone
After playing power based roaming classes for over a year I decided it was time for another condi based build. I did some PU experimenting before the april feature patch when Osi made his video’s but after hearing so many nice things about interrupt builds I tried a similar build. I used Chaos Archangel his spvp build as a base and did some wvw adjustments (didn’t want to hijack his topic since he says quite reguraly he doens’t do wvw that much)

(Just to note this build is mainly build around 1vs1 fights (my server is in gold league so it’s either 1vs1 or ZvZ))
Pressure should come from torrent/confusion stacks while sprinkling in other things to annoy those cleansers. Is that pistol stun and staff chaos storm enough justification for an interrupt build? Or should I drop far reaching manipulation, get mantry mastery and get MoR and MoD (and even the mantra heal?). I’m afraid other condi builds will reck me apart with just the enchanter for debuffing.. So many choices..
So what does this expert panel of mesmers think? Viable? What can I improve? Or did I accidently copy/paste some already known build.
Thanks a lot in advance!
