Guild Wars 2

Kanto.1659:

people hiding in forts are pretty much immune to you. Vice-versa if you’re defending and they move away.

Running a full glamour build with focus, i have been racking up kills defending keeps. People like to clump up together when attacking keeps, whether at the gate, or a little ways back from the gate to attack the gate or people on walls. If you throw down a feedback, nullfield, veil, and iWarden you can easily get confusion ticks up to 4k per skill use, and those people spamming the gate will explode before they realize what happened to them.

The problem with this is its not really possible to stomp them because they are surrounded by a zerg waiting to rez, the Warden might be able to finish them off if downed, but it doesnt happen very often.

Just my 2 cents

Wow to the tons of people camping devs bl…..get a life

Well, after 4 months on kain, starting the game the first week that kain won I have abandoned ship to my #1 enemy, Dr, bringing along a few friends with me. So far the pastures have been much greener on the other side. As someone who loves roaming you can only handle so much steam rolling before you get bored out of your mind.

Last night four of us were running around kain bl having a blast. One thing I noticed and hope isn’t too normal is most of the fellow Dr people I saw were just exp training; two zergs worth actually. Someone mentioned how they saw an organized zergs last night, it was just an exp train.

My friends and I actually got to the keep lord in the SW tower, just the 4 of us, but after shouting for help when the keep doors were being attacked, and then broken not a single person came to help; and then the zerg rolled over us. I’m hoping that there are more wvwers left here than what we saw yesterday.

And to the kain zergs;
If you die to massive conditions and 4k confusion hits, you have probably found us, :-)

You can buy rare “strong” Armor with rabid stats on the tp for 25 to 30s a piece

kurtosis.9526:

I’m gearing up for a similar build, though I expect to go 30/0/0/10/30 w/ full Power/Precision/Condition Dmg stats.

I think Temporal Enchanter only adds a second or two to glamour fields, but what I really want is Confusion, Blind, and other conditions to last longer, even after people have dodged out of the field. Hence max Condition Duration (30 Domination) and Condition Damage (30 Illusions).

There are two traits you can play around with in Domination, only VIII Confusing Enchantments is necessary there. Torch cd reduction, GS cd reduction, +20% Mind Wrack, Vuln on Shatter are all options. All other traits are required.

For roaming i think this could work fairly well, by dropping temporal enchanter you lose a few seconds on the glam fields, but if you take the torch cool down it gives you a blind/burn/stealth on a 24s cool down, the iMage on an 18 second cool down, and both of those remove conditions. (I know null field removes conditions as well, but i use that more offensively and depending on the situation i can’t run through it, where with both torch skills + null field conditions shouldnt be a problem), and both skills add confusion which works nicely with this build.

With the 10% extra duration on confusion from the dom line, CoF has a 5s duration and Confusing Images has an 8.5s duration (except when i mouse over the confusion it applies it shows 9s, not sure if its rounding up but not giving the full 9s duration.

(This is with rabid gear + veggie pizza)

What do you guys think about something like this?

Well, after a few weeks we finally finished hitting 80/getting some gear. We decided to both go condition spec; i have a full on glamour build, 20/0/0/20/30. He is going full condition with bleeds/burns etc. with a mix of confusion thrown in.

Thanks for the advice!
I wonder what people are going to think when they see us coming, ~.^

My ele would have to disagree with you on Mesmer being the only jack of all trades, ele can do all of that and more (healing).

Mesmer is very versatile though.

A friend and I are wanting to make duplicate (appearance) mesmers to roll around in WvW together and we were wondering what two mesmer builds would be the most effective when used together. I know that the shattercat is popularly; so one of us will use that, and i was thinking about going the confusion route. Problem is, i am a main D/D ele, so i don’t know mesmer builds that well.

So essentially, if you could make the perfect mesmer duo, what would it be, shattercatX2, or a mix of builds that play off each-others strengths?

Thanks.

I’ve been an 80 ele for 2~ weeks now; all i have been doing is duoing wvw with my Guardian friend as a dd aurashare build. Although we can hold out for a long time against quite a few people, and kill quite a few as well, i am in all green cleric armor, and really really need to spend the karma burning a hole in my pocket on better exotic gear.

My problem is i am on the lowest population server, and from the looks of it Cursed Shore is fairly dead. I am wondering what temples exactly give the light armor p/v/t gear so i can try and create shout groups in LA for specific temples and then try and get the events finished.

Side note, any of you have much experience specifically duoing in wvw? What are some good duo specs to match with a guardian? I am 0 10 0 30 30, but i have been thinking about dropping 10 from arcane to get the 3 second protection boon from earth, or maybe go a little more offensive, (problem is i need at least 30 in water and 10 in air and 10 arcane, which limits the remaining traits)

Thanks!

Can we go invisible under water now?
