Here’s my hybrid shatter for WvW. Very similar, but I go with a ton of might stacking to up all the damage procs, even at the cost of some additional condi application (no confusion on blind trait (but more scepter 2/3’s), and no torment on shatter (which is the lesser anyway).
oh ye i like that
I just feel more kitten if they PANIC after my burst. So i realy like the aditional roment

I personaly like the Hybrid the most.
Here is the recipe:
1. take an engi
2. take a refile
3. wear some googles (so the blood will not blind you)
4. shoot them a load of iron in their butt
You can play around this problem.
If u go Mass Invis in a fight, just prestealth with prestige or decoy and use your Mass Invis to extrend your stealth. So you wound not get hit by projectiles.
If you combo stealth with blink, make sure you have a dodge ready. Just dodge right after useing blink to evade incomming projectiles. So they dont hit you. You can also blink away and wait 2 seconds to go into stealth. You most likely survive that, cause you have reflection on and you are on a far distance so many skills will not hit you.
I use this trait often against rangers, cause of the 4s of reflect on mirror. I like it even with his downsides. I feel kind a fair to give the ranger some kind of counterplay to my “blinking around, stealth, shatter playstyle”
As a Ghost Thief player reading this Thread
PU Mesmer loses to almost every heavy condition build from a Thief. Ghost Thief is also really good at it because they never see you so they can’t prep invis or a teleport. The only way a PU mesmer can survive is if they teleport away very quickly before I can place my 2nd Needle Trap. However, I’ve seen Shatter mesmers die from just a Steal and the 1st Needle Trap. Whether they’re spamming spells when they panic stealth or something… I dunno.
At the end of the day, if you’re being harassed by a Ghost Thief, drop a reveal trap on the floor and stand on it. Ghost Thief with no stealth is really crippling to us. If you don’t reveal us, we’ll follow you until you die or escape into a tower. Simply Steathing away doesn’t work because of the animation effects you make when you go invis are still visible when you’re invis… Kinda like how you can see and hear Infiltrators Arrow from an invis Thief. Also works with Shadow Shot, you can hear and see that too…
Anyway, I digress. It’s a pretty OP build but it certainly has its counters. The only way to Nerf it is to make certain abilities reveal you, like the Caltrops. You can’t make all conditions reveal you or else every Thief Build gets kittened ’cause you apply poison with your Auto swing chain… Kinda kittens over power builds like d/p or d/d.
The Traps themselves shouldn’t reveal… Trapper runes then become useless.
Right now, our biggest problem is Rangers. That kittenin’ AOE taunt, man. Still gets us when we’re invisible >_>. It’s gotten me killed 8 times. I’m counting.
i suddenly feel a strong need to bring reveal stealth traps…and that feels so wrong…why should i have to bring an external tool to fight??
Because you can. And because you win if you do. So why not?
Im roaming for a long time now with my mesmer. And its just the strongest class for this gametype in my opinion.
Im playing a PU mesmer, cause i most likely playing outnumbered and to have a real chance against 3 or more oppenents there is no way around pu i think. Maybe im to bad at playing this game, but i just get rekt without this unbeleveable strong trait if i go 1v3 or more.
I played a lot of power shatter and condi shatter. Today i tested out my new Hybrid version of my PU roaming build and got realy great succsess.
here is the build link: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vhAQNAR7flsnhG1YRawMNwtGLvGk5KG+IKnQvjGaAyZTA-TFDEwA23fgwDAgkmBmKDmq0jl6Pt1B0RDDgLEwjDCQjjAgXlgECQxcA-w
The heal i use cause of all this 1.5k range/ers. Without the Mantra i die very fast to strong condition bursts. And the reason for hybrid are the diamond skin eles. I just dont like the desperate decoy, thats why i chose the furry.
Have fun roaming

In my opinion they just broke one of my best skills -.-
I tested it alot and the Roofs from tha camps are now even more buggy. There are some spots where the blink still works… they broke a skill and didnt fixed a problem. if you keep klicking blink on the roof 1 out of 1000 klicks will work and u either get portet up or blink just goes on CD.
If you are an the icy bridge in the Hill Keep on the rigth side of the map it goes nearly every tome on cd without port if you try to use it.
A-Net did again some very good things to keep us away from playing a nice class…
Thank u i*******diots
I don’t get the notion of being better in group play though, power shatter is also group damage. Also it is not uncommon to have an ele opponent with cleansing water around in group fight. Am I missing something? :L
I got more Toughtnes. I dont need to run out of fight that mutch as if i play power shatter. Normaly i play with the Torch trait if i play power shatter, because with just 2.2k i need the stealth! and with that the Condi clense.
If i go condition shatter, im able to take Focus for the Pull, witch is amazeing in WvW and to take the Remove Boons trait. This allows me to play more efficient.
And if there is an Ele with clense on water, watch out and burst him after that.
I play now a very loong time with my mate and if you got Problems with people who has to mutch condition removal, focus them dowm! My mate deals dmg also, so that should not be the problem.
And i wish you all a very nice evening and all the love on planet earth

Im playing my build like this:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQNAW7dlknpRtdqxMNcrNSpBh6ykmmSyA8gSOiyB-TlyCwAAuAA4U/JluBsK9Eu/wkHAAlDCgkjAQWlBjVCSKAYmDA-w
With a Guardian friend for roaming in WvW and its realy strong.
The Guard give me a ton of Condition removal and Swiftness.
For Duall roaming i feel its way stronger then the general IP Shatter mesmer.
(edited by Thusad.8054)
You cant sack might cause of the Runes. Whats with your speed? Take focus?
Possible but then you lack more deffens at all.
You cound put 4 Points into Chaos for the Staff trait. But then you miss the Boon removal an 20% condition Duration.
Do we have other Options?
Maybe a Rework and switch to Mantra of Recovery. We lose again the 4 Points in Domination but we get good heal with Condi remove. And we lose 1 cover Condition but we get more Confusion out of it.
Something like this:
I think that could work pretty well
Edit:
Or with a Sword
(edited by Thusad.8054)
Realy difficult xD you have to be fast and take care of your Possition all the time. You miss a LOT of deffensiv utilities.
But with Staff, Torch, Speedrunes and 1200 range Blink you have more than enoight options to Kite your enemies while your Torment is dealing the maximum amount of dmg
Well. I am playing the new Torment shatter with full Rabit gear. Works very well in WvW in soloroaming and small group play. With bigger groups its nearly impossible to land your shatters.
I realy enjoy it It was never so easy for me to kill a Guardian

Hi.
Im roaming most of the time with this Shatter build. It works pretty well.
you will need at least something about 2.2k armor. Its just too difficult for me to play without that.
hope you have fun
(edited by Thusad.8054)
I intorrupt Gardians if they use their Healing Signet. 2 times and he is dead. The WW from the Greatsword is also a nice target to intorrupt.
LG =)
Thats my variation from a PU Mesmer for solo roaming. Very high survive abillity, permanent swiftness, high amount of Condition dmg (can go up to 12-15 stacks of bleed) and nice Burst dmg to finish people off.
Hope that will help you
LG Thusad
