Guild Wars 2

Nettle.9025:

For tpvp, I’m still toying with new lockdown builds. I’m having good success with this one though:

S/P GS
Sig Heal, decoy, MoD, Dom Sig, MI

6/2/6/0/0
Halting, Sig Mastery, Power Block
Phant Fury
Ill Defense, Bountiful Interruption, CI

Zerk ammy, lyssa runes (strictly for MI condi clear), air+generosity sigil on both weapons

Play it like a phantasm mesmer (rarely shatter) with a focus on interrupts using MoD, signet, pistol and GS 5. Rupts are huge if landed, doing good damage, giving you boons, and CI+PB on the enemy. Before you heal pop your phants so you can pop a 2nd set immediately after. Basically keep them locked down while your phants shred them. It’s a little weak against heavy condi if you can’t control the fight, which is why I had to keep lyssa runes and the condi transfer sigil.

Just getting back into the game after a long break. I’ve been reading up and lockdown builds sound like fun. For anyone that knows, when doing this type of build what type of gear do you want? Zerker? Any suggestions as to what build to go? I mainly PvP or fool around in WvW.
