Mesmer - Power GS

[Hyakkiyako.6475]

hello :)

Im new in game, looking some good build where i can travel with GS :)

Mirage or Virtuoso i dont know what better

[Passerbye.6291]

Out of the two, virtuoso is definitely better with greatsword, mirage greatsword is only used for tagging mobs in zergs for the most part.

For roaming I’d take virtuoso but for dueling mirage has the edge with detargetting mechanics.

Use this!
Power Virtuoso Build | Guild Wars 2 Mesmer Builds | Snow Crows

There are few changes I would make:

• Cheaper Rune set, Eagle is pretty good alternative
• Eventually run full Dragon/Marauder mix for Vitality boost and trait synergy (Quiet Intensity)
• Swap Dueling for Illusions so you have two F1 shatters (Shatter Storm)
• Off-hand focus for grouping Mobs, you don't need to weapon swap often since you have no sword precision trait (Fencer's Finesse)
• Run at least one stun break (Mirror Images), swapped with Rain of Swords
• Using Phantasmal Defender on grouped mobs can keep them at bay (Phantasmal Defender), swapped with Mantra of Pain
• Use Infinite Forge over Bloodsong since it will provide passive healing (Infinite Forge)

I use these changes for Raid/Fractal/Strikes, you can face Tank bosses most of the time.

I use Power GS Mirage as an open world build. I adapted it for the purpose from the Metabattle tagging build. Virt may be higher damage, but the evasiveness and LASERS!!!! of Mirage are just too fun.
