Guild Wars 2

I used to run shatter builds for the longest time. I am trying to stay in the phantasm realm for build choices.

Thanks for your reply.

I have been playing different versions of phantasm builds with this being my most current experiment:
current build
I was dueling a guard the other day and could not down him before we were interrupted by a few of his friends and I had to leave. I was never in any danger of dying to the guard, as he never had me below ~70% health, but I could not seem to burst him down. Several times I had him to ~20% but couldn’t finish him before he shot back up to 100% again.

I have considered going to something with more interrupts:
Potential Build

Any thoughts/improvements to the build or general advise against high defensive/healing guards would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I have a couple of questions for the experts here that I hope can be answered. First I would like to share my current build:

My build

Given that I use this build to roam in a small group (2 – 5)

My questions are as follows:

1. Are melandru and lemongrass poultry soup and sigil of generosity enough condition removal?

2. Has anyone had good success with imbued diversion? (in a similar type of build ?)

3. Any suggestions to the build to improve it ?

Thanks in advance for all that take the time to answer.
