Guild Wars 2

My favourite is winged for Norn female. I’m going to transmute some.

I’ve been level 80 for about 2 weeks, and after a couple of dungeon runs and about 10 chest bosses, I got no exotics so I was beginning to think they were super rare..

Then, yesterday I dropped 2 in 2 consecutive bosses! The first was the modnir boss in Harathi Hinterlands (Staff worth 7gp) – did not even know Modnir was a chest boss so got lucky here. And then from the Shatterer (Axe worth 2gp).

From what people are saying I’ve been lucky, but hopefully some more will drop…

Cool thanks all.

So comparing it to my 20/30/0/0/20 build, we lose the final 10 points in dueling, but can still pick up the dodge clone and fury for phantasms. We lose 15 in illusions (condition damage) which means losing compounding power (3% more damage for each illusion – not a massive loss), illusionary retribution (shatter skills inflict confusion – no biggie as its not a shatter build) and phantasamal haste (phantasm skills recharge 20% faster – but we still have the 20% game from illusionists celerity).

But the gain is the 25 points in inspiration, which will pick up the health and the traits specced in my 2nd build.

So overall a good middle ground of my 2 suggested buids! Also works for me as I suspected the 25 in inspiration was needed but didn’t want to lose my greatsword damage (20 in domination).

Hi All,

I’m trying to work out which PvP build is better according to the traits I’m choosing. Both are phamtasm builds, I only shatter if the target is almost down, to finish them off. I’ve tried the folling 2 traits;

Build 1: 20/30/0/0/20 (http://www.gw2build.com/builds/mesmer-pve-greatsword-staff-build-mesmer-clones-pve-greatsword-staff-9230.html )

Build 2: 20/0/5/25/20 (similar to this one but with 10 moved to domination for greatsword training http://www.gw2build.com/builds/simulator.php#1.8.7.3.0.20.32.5.0.35.180.191.197.199.205.2.2.6.528.0.0.0.0.0.559.0.0.575.576.0.588.595.0.10.0.15.25.20 )

The main differences are:

Build 1: Dueling gives high precision and critical damage, it gives phantasms fury and confusion upon death. Also the dodging creates a clone.

Build 2: Loses all the above benefits of dueling but picks up exta health/toughness and all of of the phantasm benefits of the inspiration traitline (speed, regen, damage, retaliation, health).

So I guess it comes down to, is the Dueling or Inspiration traitline better for a phantasm build? I’ve tried both in PvP and can’t decide!

Or is the Legion build better than both?
