Hey everyone :)
I once created this mesmer a few weeks after the guildwars 2 release, realized there MAY be something terribly wrong with this build, and since i am picking up the game again, i noticed my mesmer again, and i’d love to get your opinions about it.
Here’s a link (goes to intothemists):

(Note : only the weapons are actual exotics, the rest are rares.)
The way I play it :
Lots of dodging and summon the dueling mesmer from the sword, while keeping skill 3 of the scepter on the enemy nearly nonstop. Once i know what i face, i’d use the according counter. Then massively shatter for the damage and start all over again.
This gave HUGE survivability, but i always felt it lacked damage. Also everything that is ferocity now used to be magic find, so i guess it got some kind of a buff.
History :
With that build I easily solo’d most of the campaign (though the pressure in the end was annoying at times), i bought a hypnotic scepter for 15g back then and then realized it was probably wrong. But even now it’s incredibly fun to use.
The staff I would only use in wvw, to use some damagey AoE’s on top of the fortresses and such.
What I’m looking for in feedback :
I’d love to keep this build going, even though most of you probably think it sucks, as apparently the way to go lately is greatswords, which I never used. (i’ll look into that)
But what I’d love to hear is viable how to tweak this possibly failed build so that it’s as strong as it can be, while keeping the essence of many suicidal spammy me’s.
So in short :
Please if you’re able to, tell me
- which skills i may to adapt
- which traits i could adapt
- which stats illusions actually need to be as stong as they can be
- how it’s best for me to move on :)
Thanks for reading all of this and it would be awesome if you can give me some feedback on this. I’m not very rich, but if the tip is great I’ll give you some of the little gold I own if you like :)
With regards,
Intweener
