Took Mantra of Recovery. Mantra of Pain is working fine as far as I can tell, does what it says on the tooltip it’s nice to use in between other skills for extra aoe damage.

I’ll definitely use time warp in group stuff, just don’t like abilities with long cooldowns when soloing as I rarely use them. The signet elite is fun to use and the passive is, well, there and not on a cooldown.

Think I’ll switch out the clones depending on where I am, decoy looks like it might be useful if I need to retreat and heal myself. Living world 2 and HoT story has a lot of conditions and that’s what Phantasmal Disenchanter is mainly for.

I’m new to the game and struggled to find any builds that were suitable for levelling and running through the story online, or just pre-elite unlock builds in general, so I decided to make my own:

The idea was to try and get as much aoe damage as possible for clearing trash mobs. The swords are for survivability/melee damage, greatsword is for if additional aoes are needed or for attacking from range.

Gear is full berserkers with runes of the traveller for the movement speed buff (because signet of inspiration is annoying). Traits should provide enough surviability for solo play, as well as being smart with riposte and blurred frenzy; shattering illusions will also grant health if needed. Signet of blood is there because it was cheap and I didn;t have a clue what else to put there; same excuse for signets of precision.

The third utility slot is for whatever you want really – I like to have blink on there.

What do you guys think? Am I on the right track?
