Guild Wars 2

I think it would have been cool in general if each class had one unique weapon that only it could use. Fan/Rapier for mesmer, 2H Greataxe for warriors, etc etc…

Great movies Osicat.
While this build isn’t particularly my cup of tea, I like the use of portal and the fact you’re not running with a condition remover.
Thanks for holding back the French for us!

Doesn’t that include you, as well?
Like you said it’s very glass cannon so aren’t you susceptible to those kinds of condition builds? What’s it like running around WvW without condition removal? Is the general plan to nuke them before they nuke you? (or rather, you nuke yourself =P)

This is pretty much the same thing I’m running, and I’m actually thinking of taking just a couple of Valkyrie/Knight gear, just to make myself a little less squishy. The build’s damage output seems to be high enough that you can spare a few critical % damage, no?

Deceptive evasion is excellent and you should get it, and I would personally put the 10 in chaos into Illusions and get elasticity to buff your Mirror Blade and staff attacks.. Also 15 illusions is pretty nice.

I used something very similar to Levetty except going Domination first for Greatsword Training, and yes, it works great in PvE.
It’s also great fun because in each of the milestones (getting dueling 20, domination 20, illusions 30) you feel a huge increase in power.
Once you’re 80 ( but also before it) you’ll easily win against groups of enemies and veterans
Still running it indungeons, might not be the BEST build for it, but it’s decent burst damage, decent support with vuls and might buffs.
I personally love the GS, but you can go staff and use what Levetty posted, or you can use S/P (take the trait the improves swords in duelist).

If you’re running a shatter build, like I do, then all of them. With Deceptive Evasion, Mirror Images, Decoy, GS 2, etc, you’ll get so many clones you can do F1-F3 with 3 clones all the time with almost no delay.
Should you? in solo PvE, mostly F1 and F2, and maybe press F3 for another stack of confusion. 9-10 stacks hit for nearly 3k, which is decent damage. In group PvE, use 3 clone shatters on all 3, because the 3 clone shatter F3 will pretty much put a 3 sec 25 vulnerability stack on the enemy, which will increase your entire group’s DPS.
If you time it well by shattering it then using mirror images do mind wreck, you’ll also get a nice group of numbers.

So in my opinion, yes. If you’re traited for shatters, all of them are good.
