Torch skill 5 is great with main hand sword if your not afraid to get up in your opponents face. I use it all the time—especially vs theives, and works well with torch skill 4.
Hi,
I’ve tried everything and have played mesmer exclusively on the Anvil Rock server. I WvW only and found the clone on death build with sword, torch, staff to be most effective vs theives. (note: my experiances only, yours may very)
It is important in this build to also have as high a crit chance as possible. Mine is at 68% when sword is equiped. That way your clones apply bleeds on crits and also apply confusion, bleeds, and other conditions on death. Theives back off right away becuase conditions are applied faster than they can cleanse them.
Don’t knock the torch phantasm either. It applies confusion & bleeds with crits and gives you retaliation. A theif can kill themselves on your retaliation.
Here are the specs I’m currently running for Harken Too Face my Charr mesmer:
Anvil Rock
Try clone death build with Krait runes. Get your crit chance to 68% using sword/torch & Staff. Be aggressive and up close at all times.
