Guild Wars 2

I quit playing gw2 since july of 2014, and i got back into it about a week ago. When i quit there would almost always be a queue to join Eternal Battlegrounds, and half the time a queue for the borderlands on Jade Quarry, but now i find that we are always outnumbered? Is this just Jade Quarry, have guilds transfered over somewhere else, or is this game wide, and just a lot of people quit?

Let me know what you guys think of this build, just keep in mind that defense25 will be 10% toughness to power instead of 5% and greater fortitude will be 7% instead of 5%.

I just tested this with a fellow player from a different server, he interrupted me and it didnt seem to give me confusion

if its reduced to 2 stacks, they’ll become fairly worthless runes imo

i did, it didnt give me the confusion
seems like a very kittenty way to nerf the runes, all they needed was an Internal CD on the Interrupt Confusion… not this

It seems that if the person using perplexity runes gets interrupted, they themselves will get 5 stacks of confusion based off their own condition damage. (just tested it with a basilisk monster w/ his daze…)

Anyone know if this is intended or if its a bug?

Here’s my mesmer!
I use, Winged Headpeice, Toxic Mantle, Trickster Vest, Toxic gloves, Trickster Leggings, and Trickster Shoes

Hello! Im stuck between 2 Builds, both builds use the same Weapons/Trinkets/Armor, its just a difference in Traits and Skills, this build is mainly a condition build, with some burst damage from Sword/Pistol. I usually solo roam or small group roam, for Zerg’s i use a different build.

Option 1: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgEQRAsa7flwzKqHTTjGb9IipHBnvBckUoavWJF42FC-jUDBYLBEhJyUFQkFgkIAUJw5QFRjtsuIasqaRWxATlKpaXAeeKrSBAz0I-w

[This utilizes the Torch skills to remove conditions, with no other condition removal apart from the Sigil of Purity, I use Mantra of Distraction for Interruptions/Pistol skill 5 to gain 5 stacks of might/Interrupt and give 5 stacks of confusion an Interrupt]
Option 2: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgEQRAsa7flwzKqHTTqGb9IipHBnvBckKoalegbXYuB-jUDBYLBEhJyUFQkFgkIAUJw5QFRjtsuIasqaRWxATlKpaXAeeKrSBAz0I-w

[This Gets rid of the Master trait in the Power line and adds 10 points into Dueling to allow Illusions to give 1 stack of confusion when killed, i also take Deulist’s Discipline to lower the CD on my Pistol skills, and i trade Mantra of Distraction for Null Field to have some condition removal]

I usually use Option 1, however i was playing around with the traits and i got Option 2, which im starting to like, i just want an opinion from the community, what are your thoughts on the 2 builds, and which one seems better.
