Yea it can be shut down pretty easily but if they don’t the reward is beyond awesome.

Hey Chicken,

Thanks for replying, this is my first post on the forums great to see people reply.
I just prefer arcane shield sometimes but mist form is definitely a worthy replacement.

Hey guys! My ign is: Jess From Accounting; I also go by the names of “Jess From Safety” “Jess From Inquiries” and some others. As the title explains here I am posting a glass cannon power staff build.

Link: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vEAQFAWhMMqe25wnBfEBApAKhHEwQCCFW0QpwOA-TkAg0CnI4SxljLDXSuscNsA

This build focuses on staying at a high vantage point and raining death down upon said victims.

Among your intense damage; with this build you can bring:
-Heals
-Immobilize
-Zone Control
-Knock Back
-Chill
-Blind
-Blast Finishers
-Many other things depending on utility choices

This build can be the difference between winning and losing team fights, but if you are caught out of position you will be severely punished as 1v1s against skilled players are very difficult.

Explaining Some Traits

With 10 in arcana the larger staff attacks and it is a lot easier to ensure that your AoEs hit. I like to run with 20 in air because the reduced cool down on air skills is nice for control and swiftness.

Utilities

Ice bow is incredibly powerful, normally if I am AoEing from a vantage point I will pull it out, use the 4 on the enemies then instantly put it away and continue rotating.
Lightning Flash is great for many things such as:
-Running Away
-Getting up into high points
-Chasing down someone
Also Arcane shield is great for getting stomps, breaking stuns, reviving and if timed correctly and completely negate large chunks of damage but if you prefer Mist Form change it up! It can do everything basically the same so it is fine to swap.
I use Fiery Great sword in the same way I use ice bow, the 5 is incredibly powerful in combo with your other AoEs.
