Dawdler.8521 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Mesmers overall are pretty rare but I've seen a few good virtuosi. Seem to build heavy for evades, block and reflects. There is a cele build on metabattle. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delrago.2098 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) virtuoso is very good for roaming right now. i normally use two slight variants of the same build. power virtuoso: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PiABgqtzlVwUZJsLGKm2XpxKA-zVZYBhtFzcwnRmSreVBWcW0fGAA-w Hybrid virtuoso: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PiABw+trlVwUZJsLGKm2XtxKA-zVhYVB5vFBjZ0TSYD1WwZkpqqXpgFnF9nBAA-w both revolve around blocking/dodging an attack to build blades then shatter to regain aegis again, then rinse and repeat. Edited March 30, 2023 by Delrago.2098 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distortion, block, blink, blade renewal and stealth not enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin.4501 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I've used this build with a lot of success as well: Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengu.7481 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 virtuoso is very good for roaming, ive done multiple outnumbered fights and come out on top. beware tho, u will have crap mobility so u have to commit to a fight since your chances of escaping if u are out of stealth or revealed are very bad 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aegis you get from shattering some times get used before the icd of the trait pyschic riposte is off cooldown. Also both distortions make a lul in the fight where ur not putting out any damage because your not blocking or dodging.  Using blink also means your not doing as much dmg because melee classes won’t proc block. hope that helps! Edited March 30, 2023 by Delrago.2098 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're certain both Proc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
