When I take givers its for the extra control pressure from soft CC (cripple, weakness, and imob). Rabid will give you more damage, which is probably what you want.

The build is fine for survive and damage, but your mobility is super weak. Traveller plugs a hole but still leaks. You have no chase, or any real CC ability to stop someone from leaving you. You’re running with the typical condi PU shortcomings, and they’re pretty well known by roamers and the GW2 community.

Compare it to my build. Hybrid damage, max landspeed/mobility for a mesmer

You can keep chase and still apply pressure with direct damage. I’m toying around with runes of Infiltration atm too, just cause they’re cheap so why not. But pack runes complement swiftness and damage. Thy sucky thing for mesmer is having to choose between either travelers runes, speed runes, or a focus. Meanwhile warriors can get swiftness on crit as a minor kitten . Anyway, mobility is king, in roaming, in scouting, in zerging, in everything. So unless you plan to stand and hold some ground you’re gonna want more of it.

Thank you for the build. I just have 2 questions:
1: Is the cavalier back really necessary or i have other options?
2: Do you have some videos of the build working?

Hey guys,

I found this build and i wanted to know if Giver weapons would fit better or rabid is the way to go. Also, i’m not sure if i should change Traveler’s runes into something like nightmare perplexity
