Against rangers i try to hit them from stealth like to use mass invisibility to get my full shatter on them afterwards i try to keep chaos armor up to get some blocks etc i think the most important thing is to dodge their pet’s attacks and dont let a high distance get between u and the ranger
warris are really simple just kite them with ur staff and dodge their stuns (hammer stuns have a nice animation) when they have used their endure pain etc wait for them to dodge and then follow up with the immobilize and the shatter combo afterwards try to get a little range again and kite them with staff..then same combo again till they are dead

Trying S/S and greatsword now pretty awesome so far

Xaylin.1860:

Oh… you switched around some stuff since I started PvPing today (5h of hotjoin *phew). As I said, I changed some traits and the offhand. Which – after your recent update – is very similar to your current build.

Weapons
Sw/Sw and Staff

Heal and Utilities

• Mirror
• Decoy
• Feedback
• Nullfield
• MI

Traits
10/20/20/10/0

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNAscWl0zKqXVTqGbNJipHBnvhcnKwckKYalUwbXIA-TsAg0CnImRNjbGzMyZszMsYJykAA

Plays very similar to my old build (Sw/Tor and Staff 0/20/30/20/0). I sometimes miss the blind on torch #4 but in general I enjoy it. I really like that boons are applied while actively fighting instead of by hiding in stealth (PU). Sword #4 is a bit harder to use than magic bullet but I prefer it this way because of blade training.

I went 10 into inspiration for the glamour cd reduction (could be switched to menders purity). Feedback is pretty nice when holding points. It also helps keeping up chaos armor to annoy your enemies. Nullfield for condi cleanse, getting rid of necros or interrupting guardians and warriors with stability. Decoy for escaping or when waiting for the heal to come off cooldown. I run Mirror for maximized swiftness through centaur runes. Just can’t stand being slow. Sadly, my build lacks the boonshare but I don’t mind since I’m playing hotjoin *g

Using a beserker amulett works out fine (for me). Still feel tanky. But the build should be alright with soldiers, too. Of course, I’d switch the sigill on my sword in that case.

---

I do have to agree with the others regarding chaotic interruption. I just don’t see how this is more helpful than lower staff cds. Especially, since chaos storm is one of your rupt sources.

Yea i am still working on this build and testing everyday so u can expect it to become even better but thank you a lot for your constructive feedback i really appreciate it!

Warlord of Chaos.7845:

Ohhhh I see you updated the build to make it have CI as well as the sword offhand. I was thinking of these 2 constantly when I tested the mind crush build to see which one was better. I honestly couldn’t find a amazing difference between sword and pistol offhand tbh. Of course, the benefit of sword offhand is you can get another trait, like aoe boon removal on shatter, which is always appreciated. This build can definitely be a possible new meta for Mesmer’s in tpvp. However, what do you think though of CI in your build? I believe it can be really devastating since you have multiple aoe interrupts now.

Thanks for the feedback i am still working on the build right now
what do you think of taking gs/staff ?

Indeed thats exactly my point and it feels so powerful especially vs mesmer ele ranger warri etc

thank your for your comments on this!

This one its awesome for your team and yourself and you can switch arcane thievery for nullfield

Sensotix’s Bountiful Interruption tPvP Build

awesome thanks

yea but like ur build name is in ur profile and if i click on it it get to the forum how do u do that?

Xavi.6591:

I think Chaotic Dampening is not needed. This is very similar to Osicat’s Shatter Heavy 3.0 build which also takes Bountiful Interruption over Chaotic Dampening (also uses Hoelbrak runes).

I like the change to off-hand sword over pistol. Taking Blink over Decoy might be tough as I like the target drop on Decoy, never mind the clone that is spawned.

yea but i have 20% recharge reduce on manipulation skills so thats awesome and i am faster on the map with it

skcamow.3527:

Love the chaotic interruption change – see build in my sig .
But … on your build I would think chaotic dampening is a must if using staff for many reasons. Apparently you’re doing OK without it?

it works without it actually i firstly wasnt convinced playing without it but its awesome especially in tournament play since you get ur shatters on the target 100% with this trait

also how do u get the build name in your description without the link?

you dont really need the condition remove because you are teamfight orientated and there you also have condi remove from the guardian or ele or smth
Stability is not a problem since shatters remove a condition and u have arcane thievery to rip it off your enemy
because of the interrupt damage you dont need ip for the extra damage. (and u always have up to 17 might stacks so damage is not the problem)
you dont shatter from a far distance to interrupt because u mainly interrupt with chaos storm and sword #4 so thats not a problem either
also i went with blink because i have a 20% recharge on manipulation skills but not on clones so decoy > cd than blink
hope this answers all your questions:)

thanks for the feedbacks guys

My shatter /boon removal build is awesome against close ranged enemies or enemies with physical dmg when you have a bunkerish team setup..
The bountiful interruption build is awesome if you have a setup fokusing on bursting the enemies and destroying them completely especially against necros etc since they have no real disengage

Sensotix.4106:

yes i actually presented the pvp version but i am sure if u put a chaos storm on a zerg you get an insane amount of mightstacks that you can spread on your team i love it

Yep its pretty epic, I think its better with Perplexity just because of the sheer amount of damage those confusion stacks do with 25 might. However, against a “good zerg” they’ll have stability up a lot of the time so it won’t really work, but tbh given we run between 2-5 we don’t go attacking 20 man guild groups unless we get very very bored.

Also a neat trick you can pull with focus if you don’t have Halting Strike (i.e don’t damage on interrupt) is to start the battle with focus and get a quick 4, 4 off and then switch to another off hand, you can proc Perplexity and Bountiful Interruption without putting yourself into combat. I think if they take any confusion damage it will put you in combat, but if you are quick enough you can get an extra free interrupt off.

I am an only pvp player so i cant really use the rune pf perplexity haha
And yes i thought so but with a good shatter mesmer you can time that very well also if you have nullfield stability wont be too much of a problem

especially in smaller fights

yes i actually presented the pvp version but i am sure if u put a chaos storm on a zerg you get an insane amount of mightstacks that you can spread on your team i love it

yea i have tried it but if you have a 1 vs 1 vs necro or something similar which can happen in tpvp you really have a hard time winning this

Also show the portal on the map for your teammates pls

derbaer.1284:

Hi Sensotix,

thanks for the build, Ill give it a try.

Have you considered playing it with focus?

You would have an aoe interrupt for multiple BI might stacks at once with “into the void”. Plus you’d have better mobility if forced into a roamer role.

You can play it with focus on wvw i guess but in pvp sword or pistol gives u a chance to block/stunt he enemy to disengage so i would play one of these two for sure

JKwervo.7852:

I’m kind of uncomfortable with the low number of toughness in the build, I feel kind naked with out it. I have noticed I get focused on A LOT. LOL which is ridiculous, but what adjustments would you have, to make it a little more tanky?

Just use soldier’s amulett

JKwervo.7852:

Sensotix, I’m thinking of picking this up for more viability in sPvP and hopefully transition to tPvP with it. Right now, I’m using JPortell’s protection build, and it’s pretty good, at least for me anyway. But he’s right that, interrupts kill me especially since i’m dependent on mantras for my heals and condition removals. So I was thinking of transitioning to this build.
Can you give me pointers as to what to lead off with in a fight? A rough rotation and what to exactly use when you’re getting pressured badly in a defensive corner? Thanks man!

@Xaylin, that’s what I was thinking as well, as far as your thoughts on it’s possible deficiencies.

I have came up with an even better tpvp build i would say its the best atm
go check it out and comment on it int he forum thread
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Sensotix-Bountiful-Interruption-TPvP-Build/first#post2769199

Xaylin.1860:

Since there weren’t any Mesmer changes this patch (*yawn), I gave it a try yesterday.

0/20/30/20. I used feedback instead of portal for more confusion stacking.

I really liked the burst I could create with the confusion stacks. Was quite funny against unthoughtful players. I had some trouble though. Of course, it might be because of being used to my old build but some things might apply to this build in generell.

• I missed AoE Damage options (sword cleave)
• No way to keep people from running away (had magic bullet on cd way too often)
• The confusion burst got cleansed quite often (maybe just unlucky *shrug)

I am talking about hotjoins here. It might be different in tPvP since there are less people and you are more likely to only encounter 1-2 at a time. But good lord… this build really suffers when facing many enemies *g. I also wished I had more conditions to protect the confusion stacks from being cleansed. My worst encounter was with a necro… those filthy pets always got in the way of my duelist.

To sum it up: I really enjoyed the build and I think its quite viable in tPvP. Not that good for hotjoints though since it is very single targeted. It also is very very vurnerable to condition cleanses which will nullify most of your damage.

Indeed its kinda a tpvp build and lacks possibilities in fighting multiple enemies but glad u enjoyed playing it!

i am not super professional i kinda just started my youtube channel a week ago and want to make it a hobby
wait i will check which one it was
it was the “soft flash” i love this one! (:

still i feel like hoelbrak is better since the boons from the lyssa runes only last for 5 secs which is really not that long

Divinity.8041:

sig of inspiration is actually very, very good. I use it with rune of lyssa…and everytime I heal I have 2 random boons on me. It helps me so much, and works well with Lyssa because I hit mass invis every 90 seconds and then transmit every boon in the game to my team!

dunno why people don’t use this signet more often, it is rediculously good

yes indeed i will actually change my runes to lyssa i guess but the only problem will be that people will use mass invisibility too offensively…
what i have played with the necro from my team so far was a timewarp lich combo with 25 stacks of might on him…awsome fun i am telling u haha

thanks a lot dude!

Warlord of Chaos.7845:

This build looks pretty interesting. I have already been testing around some interrupt builds around similar to Chaos’s Mind crush spec. I would like to test this soon. Depending on the enemy comp you can even switch hoelbrak for Lyssa and it will still work nicely, as lyssa has saved my life many times against those 10 stacks of bleed

I have tried the Mind Crush Build but its just not good in tournament play its nice in theory but it lacks a lot concerning dmg and team support
yea the tip with lyssa is in the tips section but since my main aim is to stack might for my team i feel like hoelbrak is the way to go actually its personal preference

tetrodoxin.2134:

Try offhand sword and swap the pistol trait with the sword trait. Even more AoE interrupts on a lower CD, and the phantasm isn’t too bad either

Anyways, cool guide. Hope to see more.
Btw, on what server are you playing?

I have actually thouht about that but it feels like in a meta where necro marks and larcenous strikes are unblockable a stun is better than a block if i have to use it defensively
I am playing in Riverside atm

skcamow.3527:

Welcome to the world of BI and boon sharing
Looking forward to seeing a team PvP vid if you can.

Haha i was always like who the hell would take this signet…also the wrong description on bountiful interruption just convinced me (5 might stacks per interrupt not 1) i will upload some TPvP videos using this build asap hope u check it out then!

So this build is just absolutely awesome!
The idea came to my head while playing the “evasive signets” build someone has posted on the forums.. go check it out if you want to
I always felt like i am not contributing to my team enough and that no matter how good I play, Mesmer has no chance of having a safe place in the meta.
Everything will be explained in the video but I will list the pros and the cons here for you guys

Pros:
- Always tons of boons on yourself (which makes you a lot more tanky than the usual shatter mesmer)
- Perfect stats for dmg (crit chance/crit damage)
- -20 % condi duration on you
- Having at least 15 stacks of might all the time if you play it right (Insane dmg incoming :>)
- Spreading the boons (25 might stacks etc) you have to your whole team (feeling usefull…something new for mesmer in this Meta hehe)
- Perfect Build for 2 vs 2/ 3 vs 3 etc
- Condi remove (arcane thievery also boon steal to spread those to your team)
- Interrupts are important (that’s so awesome because no matter what interrupt build i have tried so far i never felt like the interrupts were the key of the build)
- High dmg output through shatter and/or phantasms (might stacks)

Cons:

- Boon stealing enemies like s/d thieves are ur worst nightmare (but u can kill them quite easily in 1 vs 1 fights)
- Necros (counterclass atm)

I have actually changed the build u saw in the video a little bit to improve its efficency
