In any case, the OP isn’t level 80 and is doing open world content to level

No but I am on my way, level 71 now

But you won’t be able to stay at range because melee mobs just blindly rush at you. To hell with control, sw/p + sw/sw gives you our two best phantasms, best autoattack, and two hard-hitting evades.

So what trait build would you go with?

Also utilities and Elite? what would be the way to go between Take Root, Summon Sylvan Hound, and Summon Druid Spirit? Or is Time warp worth something solo?

I think im sticking with GS it’s ability to aoe and safe distance phantasm and knockback cast are great. (plus I bought a skin for it)

Any thoughts on a trait build? seems that the general consensus for secondary are Sword/Focus.

Still welcome to any other ideas, not using the skin isnt the end of the world. I’m just really uncertain about my current trait build, 20/20/0/0/30
Empowered Illusions: 15% more illusion dmg
Greatsword Training: power +50 recharge reduced 20%
Compounding Power: Damage increase 3% per illu
Illusionary Elasticity: 1 extra bounce on bouncing attacks
Phantasmal haste: reduces recharge on phantasm attack skills 20%

I still havent decided on a weapon other than GS but any recommended Trait builds as well for this strategy?

yeah I’ve been doing GS Sword/Focus forever and I enjoy the mobility focus offers. Pistol sounds like a great alternative though.

Also, is Sword Offhand single target? It seems to be.. If so that’s rather weak compared to other Phantasms is it not?

I guess what I’m basically looking for is an entire Phantasm leveling build xD I just finished a Main Story quest with an offhand prize and I have no idea what way to go lol. Guess I’ll stick with the focus for now.

But any guide recommendations or any guidelines of how to build a solo leveling phantasm mesmer are what im looking for basically.

Trying to make the best possible PvE mesmer build for leveling, I’m lvl 64 now with 20/4/0/0/30/ Trying to get by with phantasms doing all my damage. Some guides say go Sword/Focus, some say Sword/Sword, all of them say Greatsword which seems to be working out alright.

But I can’t decide overall, Sword/Focus, or Sword/Sword? Sword/Pistol? Something Completely different? Should i even use greatsword for a phantasm build? and how are my talents and utilities as well? I use the health signet, Feedback, and Blink, and The Druid Summon.

Sorry for the confusion. I’ll post a pic as well.

donee. ty for the help

Etc.. etc.. it doesn’t work.
What should I do to make this thing work?
