Miss some of the old GW skills like Panic, but the new mesmer’s mobility and variety of phantasms are fun. They are different professions, just with same name. But in a duel, I think the old mesmer would come out on top.
Looks like the builds at gw2skills.net are not working any more. Anyone have working links to builds?
I tried a scepter build a while back because I had read that confusion was not so good in PvE and wanted to check that out. I used Malicious Sorcery mostly and often had signet of domination, and I found the build did fine in general PvE and dungeon story modes, which I was doing then. I’ve stopped using it, but now that I look back at it, and in reading this thread, I think the Inspiration line that has Malicious Sorcery is a bit problematic.
The passive traits Vengeful Images, Phantasmal Healing and Phantasmal Strength all aid phantasms, but the scepter ATM is mainly a clone-producing weapon, so players run into the tactical problem of producing clones for shatter vs. phantasms that help players by remaining alive or by inflicting conditions when they die.
I think that if Malicious Sorcery were in a different line — say, Illusions — it might be easier to create builds that play to its strengths.
