Hi all,I’m running a Mesmer with 20/20/0/0/30(dunno wat build it is),with a gs n s/f.
Armor with pow/pre/cri n centaur runes,same for my weapons with air signils.

However I heard staff is better than gs for Mesmer,is it true?

I suppose I’m considered as running a glass cannon or shatter build?

May I know any way to improve my Mesmer?

My current traits r mind wreck n gs training for domination,phantom fury n deceptive evasion for duelist and precise wreck,phantom haste n ip for illusions.

Skills r ether feast,sigil of inspiration,mirror image n feedback n gw for elite.

Staff ain’t better then GS for mesmer nor the other way around. You can’t compare both in my eyes as they fullfil a completly different role. Staff is defensive condition damage based and GS is burst damage based.

I like your build and think it’s viable. However I find your choice for phantasmal haste a bit weird cause you didn’t take the 15% dam for clones in domination nor the + 15% dam for phantasms in inspiration. I would then personally take elasticity instead to improve your staff with an extra bounce.

I run a 20/20/0/25/5 build with GS and staff. Almost full berserker gear and some pieces knights for some more toughness. This makes me able to switch fast between offensive and defensive. I make sure I get atleast 2 phantasms up. Then I start casting mantra of pain which gives me an AOE heal for around 2500 every 4 sec. With inspiration trait X. Can’t come up with the name. While my phantasm deal damage.

I see.i didn’t trait in elastic cos I dun use a staff.its gs n s/f for me.i still thinking whether to swap mental torment for empowered illusions.i traits 30 in illusions becos I’m not a fan of mantras.staff seems so slow n low dmg to me.i wanted to do a full dps build but not sure whether I’m on the right track..

Many thanks to u all for the kind replies.
I will try to practice with a staff for flexibilities for wvw in future(which I haven play before).

Btw,I’m gg for pure dmg and criticals with ref to my first post.
Am I doing it the right way?
Is there any aspects where I can improve,like traits and utility skills?
