How I hate the IC nerf. I used to run 20/20/0/25/5. I cannot adapt to any other thing. I don’t play my Mesmer on PVE anymore (having tons of fun with blackwater setup in WvW tho).

Much appreciated. No, on vacations right now with crappy connexion on a crappy cell phone. is more than enough to try when i get back. maybe then i will ask for mor details ( if is ok for u).

It is kind of wierd, when i asked this elsewhere i got a “never ever ever use rampager on a mesmer”.

By the way have you ever tried 0/20/0/25/25?

Edit: i also have to test if autoatacking does more damage thsn blur frenzy as i got diffetent answers

Many thanks Rennoko,

One last question:
-Yesterday I did a PUG dungeon run with another cond character on my party, and of course, it took more time. So, I’m planning to have a second gear set for that kind of situations (It must still be a 30/30/10/0/0 cause I cannot respec inside the dungeon).

Would that be good enough?

If I can abuse a little more of your time, I have 3 questions:
-Is the efect of the 6th nightmare rune worthy?
-with 80% condition duration, can I know how many ticks of terror I will have?
-Is lich form (I got 3800 attack) decent enough to destroy structures or flesh golem will be better?

Thanks a lot.

From staff and DS.

The above build has 100% cond duration. Question is if I need that or I can drop it to 75%. Maybe I can drop it for chill, fear, burning, weakness and vulnabirty and keep -via traits- for bleeding.

@leeto: I’m glad I made your day. Here to amuse you.

@HiSaZul: thank you very much for your long answer. Main issue here is, probably cause I’m still leveling, I put traits thinking more in open PVE than dungeons or WvW. My fault.
-Problem with spite line is that most of traits are kind of meh for a condition build.
-In my experience I never have time to use epidemic before the trash dies. In WvW I will use it for sure. Same goes for spectral walk.
-About elite, I made a norn just for snow leopard form, so that’s my intention (still not unlocked).
-About carrion Vs Rabid. Lots of others posts compare them. I think, once you get your wanted crit chance, carrion is more useful. It gives your power (thinking in golden ratio here) and more important, it increase your DS pool. A different situation will be if your DS pool will benefit from thoughness under fire. Is that the case?
-About conditions in PVE. Good thing is, as everybody is claiming things like “conditions are meh in PVE”, no one is running them (at least in my server).

Again, I appreciate your time in answering me. Thanks.

@Bull: Always interested in seeing other people builds.

@You all: My main question is how much condition duration do I need. i.e.: With 75% condition duration will I have perma freezing? Will be enough to get a second tick of fear? Will I have burning 80% of the time?

While I agree my post was not constructive, the question is: what do you want? You made a mesmer, play a few hours/days and made a total unfair set of claims.

People claiming how OP are necros now (without taking account all necro flaws) make me fill sick and probably you feel same way. So, are you surprised if a mesmer gets mad with your post?

And I just said that you wrote a misleading claims. Posst like yours made Anet nerf classes wrongly. So I’m just pointing out that you should think before QQ any class and more if it’s no your class.

I said all I want in this post, so have a nice day.

First thing I noticed… reduce scepter cooldown 20% and add 200 condition dmg….. and that goes for every weapon cd reduction skill. Seriously? Could the beloved kittenwit child sign be any larger?

Minor 5 point trait that gives you vigor on crit with 5 sec cooldown. We get grandmaster trait that does 4 second of burn with double of that cooldown. Yeaaaaah. The sign should definitely be larger.

Pfff what a set of misleading claims.

Go 30 in inspiration is what makes more sense (without changing the build). But, if I were you, I’ll take restorative illusions.

But I would go for Pyro’s 10/10/0/30/20 and work from there.

I was running a variation:
20 inDomination I and III
20 in Dueling II and X,
25 in Inspiration IV and VIII
5 in illusions

So it was a hybrid shatter/phantasm. Now, I have to get rid of the shatter part to reduce the cooldowns on my weapons (X in Dom and IV in duel). That’s a huge nerf on my damage. Or go to the typical 20/20/0/0/30 which I’m tired of.

So, I decided to finish to level up my necro. I think it’s the class with more different possibles builds right now.

I mean gw2 it’s a game, if rerolling is what makes me having fun and keep playing, I’ll do it. For me there’s no sense in loyalty no matter what.

@Kirec:
-And then you shatter! Yes! I do that in my shantasm build. I’m huge fan of focus. Actually this is the first build that I’m running without it.
-I had a lots of problems getting used to staff, so maybe that’s the reason I can’t make it work with focus.

@Sinaya: I have to check the numbers, but I’m thinking in drop domination to increase dueling, and to get a rampager staff. With that, I will be near 45% crit chance; question is whether my global damage will be better or not.

@Sinaya:
-You can add food on your maths, but guess I can drop toughness to increase precision. I have also some berserker ascended trinkets. I will play around. But I’mnot fooling myself, main source of damage are phantasm (they are at 50%crit chance and 75% crit damage).

-About divinity runes. If you don’t have a lot of toons, you end up with money to spend (as I don’t care about skins), they are expensive but that’s it.

-About mobility-runes. The more I play the more I have the feeling that we sacrifice too much to get swiftness out of combat. Actually I have a full berserker armor with centaur runes, and I think I will put rubies on it.

As a curiosity, I made this build after the bouncing nerf, cause I was very very close to rise a guardian. I wanted to get something similar to crit hammer/toughness build.

You understood correctly (sorry if my answer was not clear), I’m looking for a replacement, but looks like it is not possible.

THe problem is that I would like to have two reliable phantasms-

I don’t know why, but I end up thinking that it is a bad build for roaming (good for tanking but without enough punch) and a ok reflection build when changed into zerg mode.

Thanks for the webpage! XD

Thanks you all,

@TooBz:
-I know, but in my server is always contested. I found a post where people is telling when is uncontested, so I espect to get it soon.
-Staff is my main source of mobility but also is how I get fury on myself (as my crit change is low). I’m afraid I cannot change it.
-I’ll get preci stacking for sure, thanks.

@Drongas:
-I don’t like staff for offense. My only reliable source of damage is sword phantasm. That’s my problem.
-I do like frenzy on 8 sec cooldown, but not instead of fury on my phantasm (remember: my true source of damage).

@Osi:
-I like sword over pistol. Problem with focus is that I end up with two unreliable phantasms as a main source of damage. In a zerg that’s no problem cause main source are the reflections and I can buff my team with staff, so that’s kind of an ok situation. But, althought I would love to have the utilites of focus when roaming, I would end up without any means of doing damage.
-Sigil of fire. I thought about that. Still not sure, but as air do more single target damage, my blur frenzy (my other source of damage) should be better with sigil of air (if picked the right target XD).

Hi fellows mesmers,
I’d like some help to improve my build

This is the build that I’m currently running for WvW. It works quite well but I’m not satisfied.

For the roaming part I dislike the staff`phantasm the projectile is not fast enough. I would like to change the weapon, but have not find any better alternative. Also, I starting to think that phantasm health improving traits are a little overkill cause the high toughness.

On the other hand, as I have so much armor I can run into the zergs (I put feedback and glamour reduced cooldowns and pick greatsword instead of swords) but then my phantasms are kind of meh.

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/mesmer/?4.0|6.1i.h1|c.1i.h14.c.1i.h1|1n.71j.1n.71j.1n.71j.1n.71j.1n.71j.1n.71j|2v.0.2v.0.3v.0.2v.0.3v.0.ci.67|a3.a2.k3a.p45.5|0.0|0.3d.3l.34.3o|e

Any thought is very welcome.

PD: Yes, no swiftness, blink and staff and that’s it.

EDIT: Just to comment that sometimes, in zergs, I also pick warden’s feedback and focus instead of greatsword.

try the following (keep in mind that is just an exemple):
-go to the mists, and try to kill the npc-thief or the npc-ranger in there, only with reflections (your toon can go naked).

You’ll see how fast she/he goes down (actually is quite hilarious). It will outdamge any other way totry to kill them.

Remember, it’s just an exemple about what people is trying to make you understand: for a mesmer, utilities will outdamage direct damaging stats.

Easy boy. Try again in a more constructive manner, please.

Ah, and before doing that, check Pyro’s history.

EDIT: Pyro, my main concern with this build is the small AoE radius of the healings and the limitation to 5 guys. Is that enough in a zerg vs zerg fight to make the difference? My impression is that will be good to stay alive and to tag, but it won’t be good enough to help your zerg. Somehow, like a shelfish supportive build.
