Bump for New Vid. MSS – Limiter Off
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ye8RTdy2JA

Finally got an Ascen Amu from 30x Laurels. And also i use Rune of Air in this Vid for more challange. Makes me more sluggish compared to Centa Rune but gained more firepower from the 20% Lightning Strike. The Title Limiter Off came from some safety Device. Every Device has a Limiter to ensure the safe of the Costumers. Limiter Off Literally turn the Limiter to off to gain more power/result although harmful to the Pilot Body.

Quick Q to you Nevhie: What stats do you like on you 1H swords? Up to now i have been going for Power – Crit – Condi but were thinking about changing it into more survivability? Power – though – vita?

Umm.. It’s depend on ur Armor. For me. I put all my “Defensive” stat on Clothes and Leggings coz both of them give less Crit damage. GS Berserker And [Soldier Clothes + Leggings] vs GS Soldier And [Berserker Clothes + Leggings] are like -8def, -8 VIT but +1% Crit damage if i;m not mistaken. Yes.. I’m crit damage maniac :X

I’m crit damage maniac :XGlad i can help hehe

Thx for reading my Guide..

Wish i could know what ur playstyle is.. But Let me guess 1st with that link u give to me it’s like 1/3Shooter 1/3 Shatter 1/3 Confusion Build. U are equiped with Mirror Image (2x Clones at once), Have around 350 Condi build. My advice would be… This gonna make ur confuse stronger.

20 point total on SPecial trait line and pick
Confusing Cry
“Cry of Frustration grants retaliation. "
Since u are shatter often and have condi damage. I assume u like to F2. With ur 20pts on ATK trait. The retaliation will be nice. Each Clone give 5sec. So 15sec reta every 30sec.

Master of Misdirection
“Confusion you inflict lasts 33% longer. "
With Lv 15 Special Trait "All shatter skills inflict confusion. " This trait will good.

If u want pure Atk and Crit damage. Go for lv 30 Critikal Trait and pick “Phantasm Have Fury” Only a few can survive from iBerserker + iSwordman when Summoned together..

Hope that help

1.5k power + 500 = 2k power
500/1500 = 33%
(33% More damage from 1,5k Power)
Add another 500 = 2,5k Power .

2,5k Power:
1000/1500 *100 = 66% (66% MOre damage from 1,5k Power).

If u hit for X Damage with 1,5k power. Then with 2,5k Power u will hit 166% X damage.

U can use 500/2000 × 100 = 25% Damage increase. But that mean u compared it from 2k damage. Not 1,5k. If with 2k Power u hit for Y damage. Then with 2,5k Power u will hit for 125% Y Damage.

And also… Power change ur Skill damage modifier. Dunno it will help the Formula or not?
Damage done = (weapon damage) * Power * (skill-specific coefficient) / (target’s Armor)

Dunno Osi.. Is this a good story or Sarcasm. I don’t really get it hahaha.. Because the meaning of “Outplayed” are 2 for me. “Ur enemy do better in term of skills rather than u” or “Ur enemy use dirty trick coz s/he has less skills than u”

And for me i got owned too by ur type Osi, Maybe yesterday… For 1st time I see the “True Power” of Shatter Type. Started Suprised with His Blink and 4x Explo from him then i blink. Then “3k damage from Lightning Strike” pop up on my damage log. Even he’s a Glass Cannon He took lot damage from me too but somehow i was on disadvantages. We share the same playstyle “Hide to make another ATK” But the diff he has a Gun!! Asura with A GUN!! BANG!! Got headshoted and All my Survival Util were usep up. I died. Respawned. Check my forehead. It’s not a hole anymore. Met him again. This time i was better coz we both prepared. Then when His HP 20%, Mine 40%. Both our Healing Skills were used up. I ate all ur Spike. Yeah i ATE THEM ALL. Not really tasty if u asked me. Prepared my Satelite Cannon. Got a Lock On. And suddenly double Blink. And he Ran away. Couldn;t catch him :X kitten . That;s Staff Mesmer for u.

iSwordman:
- Atk every 5 sec
- Single Hit. (All Hit, All Crit, All non crit or All Miss)
- Stay near target. If lucky ur enemy must rotate camera to kill it.
- Block is useful vs Thief/ 1vs1 battle.
- Block damage single hit. Nearly as iSwordman damage
- Can Hold for 5sec with 3sec Invul + 2sec Block when vs Thief

iGunner:
- Atk every 7,5sec
- Multiple Hits
- Spawn near u. Very easy to get killed
- Stun 2sec, Very Good on mass pvp.
- Need a target for 2sec Stun. Which sometimes hard when vs Thief(Rendering issue)

Hope this help

Thx Fay for the Listing. Guess i must tidy up my Guide then. Hehehe

Role
Medium Range Shooter

Sigils
Dual Swords = Sigil of Perception and Sigil of Battle
Gain 3stack of might when swap to Dual Sword. For more power esp when doing Sword #2. Since the might dura is 20sec. It will strengthen GS damage as well when switching back to GS again

GreatSword = Sigil of Force
Since i already have high Crit rate. 51% without Food so i choose this for more damage. Another reason is i can;t use trigger type Sigil since it’s share cooldown with Sigil of Battle on Dual Swords

GreatSword on Night = Sigil of The Night
For more damage when on Night. I use AC GS to check if it’s already night or not. Since its glow in the dark

Runes
6x Rune of Centaur (Give Swiftness when Heal)
GS Mesmer only have 1Blink, and no Swiftness. So with Centa Runes we will get 12-13sec swiftness when we heal. Not to mention our Role is Medium Range SHooter. Probably there will some Melee Classes Allies near us so our Swiftness to them will help them either to charge in or to run out

Or

6x Rune of Air (Give swiftness on heal + 20% Lightning Strike when hit)
Only give 6sec Swiftness compared Centa rune and only apply to ourself. Can’t give Swiftness to Allies. But the lightning strike can crit for devastating damage

Food
Shooting Mode=
Bowl of Curry Butternut Squash Soup(100Prec, 10% Crit damage)
All Rounder=
Bowl of Truffle Ravioli(70Prec, 100toughness)
Sharpening Stones(6% atk from tough and 4% atk from Vit)

Traits
20 Atk Traits (Mind Wrack damage +20% and GS Training)
“Even thou MSS Build is a SHOOTER. Still need 20% damage from Mind Wrack. Because GS #4 + GS #2 + F1 Mind Wrack is our “Long range Spike damage” Normaly these combo can kill lowbies on WVW. Esp with 10k hp below"

OR
Mind Wrack damage +20% -> Illusions damage +15%
“Since we use Double Phantasm a lot this trait will boost our DPS”

30 Precision Traits (Phantasms have Fury, Sword Mastery, Clone when dodge)
“Most of these choices help for Melee Combat. Phantasms have fury for more damage with iBerserker and iSwordman, Sword Mastery coz we are using Dual Swords, Clone when dodge, Well nice trait. All Mesmer must be love it”

OR
Phantasm Fury -> Far-Reaching Manipulations
“The range of your manipulation skills is increased! That means 1,2k range Blink and STeal Boons! Very good for better movement. Not to mention Arcana Thievery become 32 CD”

10 Toughness Traits (Manipulation -20%)
“MSS using Arcaney Thivery for Condi Removal and Blink. Both of them are Manipulation”

10 Spesial Traits (9% damage with 3Illusions)
“This is just leftover trait.. I only need lv 5Spesial which is -20% for illusion summoning but still… 9% more damage is nice and also i;m not really Shatter that often”

Or

25Atk, 30Prec, 10Def, 5Spec
Trait options are same. The diff is just i want to take 5% more damage from inactive enemy. Inactive = Not using skill. Well hope that;s right

Stats
Normaly i have 2,3k def unbuffed(Core). After that pump all Crit damage all the way~
Mostly Knight Armors and all Berserker Trinkets and Backpack

Utility
Arcane Thievery
Steal 3enemy boon and give up to 3of ur condition
“This is the only Condi Removal on this Build. Except if u put Lv30atk Trait and using a Torch with “Torch Skills remove COndition”. But i;m using dual Sword so i will need this. Normally this Utility to remove our condition. But mostly i use it to take Either Fury/ Protection Boon from enemies since kinda rare to see Condition Build on WvW. MSS build when get either 1 of those buff will become Beast. Having 70% crit rate with 93% Crit damage? Or with 2,2k def with Protection buff? It’s really neat! And when chasing an running enemy this trait can Steal his/her Swiftness! Making more easy to get him/her.
Fury = Warrior/ Ranger
Protection = Guardian/ EL

Blink
“Ok.. Do i need to explain? This is the only Blink in this Build.”

Decoy
Stealth for 3sec and make a Clone
“Decoy and 2x dodge saves me a lot. Esp when being targeted by 3or more enemies. And with this Utility enable me to do “Stealth Finisher” like Thief do

Mirror Image(Optional)
Summon 2 Clones at once
“If u want to do some spike damage when in melee range this trait is good. Only good for Camp Roaming thou for me. I still prefer Arcane Thievery for balancing”

Mimic (Optional)
Absorb a Projectile then reflect all remaining projectile and block all Melee atk. Good vs Ranged classes. The reflected damage to ur enemy is based on ur stats like power, prec and crit damage. But keep in mind no damage CC Like fear or Stun Static Field from EL ignore mimic

Overview
I called my build Mahou Senshi Shoujo/MSS. It comes from Japanese which means Magical Warrior Girl.
Magical = Mesmer has Phantasms to help in battle and Clones to confuse enemies
Warrior = I don’t like squishy coz “Dead DPS = No DPS” Therefore i add some DEF for my build. And Wielding a GreatSword somehow feels “Warrior like”
Girl = Well.. My Char is a girl… Hahaha…

I’m using GreatSword + Dual Sword since most Anime/ Console Games Protagonist use these. Like Kirito from SAO, Zack/Cloud from FF VII, Saber from Fate Zero/ Fate Stay Night, Claire from Claymore and many more. Previously i was using Sword + Pistol but i changed to Dual Sword for better spike damage. Being a GS Mesmer we have very limited Blink skill. Well Only 1… From Our utility. Therefore i give some def to solve this problem. This build is hybrid. About 80atk 20def. But i sacrifice my special trait line to do this. Therefore my role is just like normal Soldier Class in any RPG. High atk, Moderate DEF, has no spesial move, Rely more to Weapons SKills not F1.

Pros=
- Not Squisy
- Good Harrasser on mass PVP/ Good Shooter
- Vul Stacker (Vulnerability)
- Can do Jump Finisher coz have Blink
- Can do Stealth Finisher coz have Decoy
- Rely more on Skills Rotation
- Have Condition Removal

Cons=
- Only have 1 Blink. It’s hard when being hammered by 2or more Enemies
- Not really high spike damage(Illusionary Persona)

Core
There are some Core of this build.
1. Must using a Greatsword [I Luv GS hihihi]
2. Main Role is a Shooter (Medium Range Shooter)
3. Not squishy
These 3 were on my mind when creating this build(After a lot of confusion thou). So the compensation for not having a Illu Persona is I have 20 free Traits and i put those 20points for more atk and some DEF. On DEF Side. I Picked 10Toughness Trait and take Manipulation -20% coz that’s the only Blink GS Mesmer has and i also use the Arcaney Thivery too. So that’s major trait will help me well on survival + Condi removal. For other 10point traits i choose 30Crit traits rather than 30atk traits. It’s just personal taste and playstyle. Both are good but depend on what type of Weapons you are using.

Conclusion: MSS Build is not a squishy. It can deal damage nearly as Glass Cannon when in Shooting Mode. MSS Build is kinda like Jack of All Trades. It only has 1condi removal (Arcane Thivery), 1Blink, and 1 Decoy. Will discuss about Utility later. When in Melee Combat. MSS Build is not very spike coz not equiped with Mirror Images(Summon 2clones at once). The sacrifice for not having Illu Persona makes this Build really shines on 15++ fight as a Shooter coz very high damage, and moderate def.

Video
Mostly about WVW Vid.

Mesmer – Wvw Try
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmwSl-G9gx8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJBKNPRDieM
Already got a feeling for my playstyle here. I did my 1st jump finisher in this Vid.

Probably my worst Vid due busy with commanding. Very short duration. My 1st win against Staff Mesmer.

WvW – MSS The Hard Way

Tips and trick
- Jump Finisher
Jump to ur enemy while casting finisher. Require a Blink. Very Good vs Downed Thief/ Mesmer(Situational)
- Stealth Finisher
Casting finisher while in Stealth. Require a Decoy. Good vs downed class with single target stun/ interupt like Ranger, Warrior, Necro and Mesmer since they can’t do Downed #2 if they have no Target
- Distortion Finisher
Cast F4/ Distortion depending ur # of Clones while casting a Finisher. Good vs downed class with AOE stun like Guardian.
- Lv 15 ++ Vul
Using F3 with 3clones will give Lv15 Vul. Lv 18 if get 1interupt.
- Sword #4 + Sword #5 currently the best Spike for this Build and F1 Shatter of course…
- iSwordman atk every 4sec, iBerserker every 7sec, iGunner every 7sec. Not to mention iSwordman only single hit.

Will update this later… Anyway thx for reading and watching. Hope u enjoy it
