I know in WvW i’d take Elusive Mind and then in PvE i’d take Dune Cloak. (Really wish IH was baseline, still pretty pissed about that) </3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curunen.8729 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The weird thing is I'm not sure how useful Elusive Mind will be in reality in wvw or pvp.I mean you can still dodge when cced and we have a lot of access to instant cast ports now together with our usual stunbreaks (eg, Jaunt, Illusionary Ambush, Phase Retreat, Blink, Decoy, SoM, Mirror Images, etc) such that you can either evade or get out of danger if cced. I suppose it depends how important it is for the player's build and playstyle.And the one condition per dodge - doesn't allow you to clear an incoming condi burst in the same way that Restorative Illusions under Alacrity with F5 piano shatter does, especially if when you're condi burst you're likely to be low on endurance anyway. It's more like supplementary condi removal which will still require running something like Mantra of Resolve to deal with being condi burst.

NickGS.4163 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I was exploring mirage for PvE because I heard many people say it has no potential. I made a video of a fight against the chak lobber hero point and would like to hear your opinions/comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esplen.3940 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 So... Condi Mesmer with Mirage instead of Chaos against open world PvE mobs? Good for you, I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zintrothen.1056 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vhAQNAncWnELDlphFMD2qBMMjlejyP8L/1H9G6oZzMAugMC-jJxHAB7s/AAPBg6LDo8pAAAI've been toying around with this passive clone build. I don't think it would ever be viable at any high level PvP, mainly because clones still take so much AoE damage and IH still isn't baseline. Some skills and traits can of course be swapped around, and torch can be taken over sword. Though sword helps with clone generation and gives a little more defense.

Curunen.8729 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Ok trying out something:pvp - http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vhAQNAnfWnsnBlphtpBOqBMMjlXDDNA0ceO+9vBYC0cFMDqJA-jJxHABKfKAOb/BAeCA1XGAAwvw (just theory for now - just need to make some cele armour minus headgear to complete this) - http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vhQQNAnfWnsnBlphtpBOqBMMjlXDzcFMDqJ+9vBYCENA0ceOA-j1xHABupvZOlgKfKFA4JFskyvEV/5s9HeHcAcVra1VZ1VXd1ru6qru6qGwqru6qru6qru6qSBUluK-wBit weird going all cele and I would rather use aristocracy runes for might stacking, but traveler is too useful and the 15% boon duration isn't bad.Same with cleansing sigils over might generating sigils - the condi removal is more valuable tbh.

atlashugged.7642 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I've been having fun with interrupts. Sword Ambush is a really great tool for an interrupt build, for about 3 reasonsYou can fish with it against distracted opponents in a teamfight. It chews through stability and aegis when you have IH. Particularly with the former, you can chew through layers of stability faster than a lot of classes can generate them. It only has .25 second duration, but you only need it to land once for confounding suggestions to turn that into a 1.25 second duration.The BuildYou can reasonably swap for any of the GM traits in Dueling I think. Ineptitude is a lot of fun for a condition burst build. For domination Power Block and Mental Anguish are both great traits to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiesAndErr.2085 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Are there any good builds for a Power Mirage? I come from an era, long ago, when shatters and Phantasm damage were the mesmer's primary form of dps, so all my current gear is Berserker. I'm (very) slowly moving towards ascended armor but that will take a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
