Veprovina.4876 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 We all know the Mesmer profession is - to put it mildly - a bit under the weather as of now.So to break from all the doom and gloom i though i'd try out some fun builds that either don't make a lot of sense, or do, but they're not meta.So i made this:http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PiyAwyFlNwcYLMFWJW6WZtKA-zxIY7o7/QiSIGoEJCVlKnF5HtA-eI call it The Crit Kitten because i play a Charr. :smile: All pieces are either cheap or easily obtainable (no fancy 4 stat combinations here), and it's all based around precision. Kind of a Mesmer assassin type.With Sigils of Perception and food/stones, you can get to almost 100% precision even on exotic gear. With ascended/legendary (for those of you who have it) and infusions, you can go over and slot some power infusions in there for more power. Chronomancer runes for the theme but any power/precision will work here. Sigil of Strength for Might generation after you've racked up that precision though any "on crit" should be good, especially the life leech ones since this build is very "glassy". Plenty of quickness and alacrity generations as well.So, make some builds for fun, or show us what you're running if you're not using a meta build!The more "experiment friendly" and cost effective the better, but use any stat combinations you want.Let's do something that isn't complaining or the general doom and gloom lol. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I briefly considered Mesmer for WvW. I only ever made half of the build, because eventually I just went with ele. It looked something like this:http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PigAE/lVw8YcsNWJOKXaNdA-zRJYiRBfZ0WBEbCo2A-eThe theory is simple: stealth up with torch + decoy, summon two more clones with mirror images, and then in stealth go for the full chrono burst against a group of players. It involved using Phantasmal Berserker as much as possible, with the hopes that 8 swordsmen all chasing people down would do some damage.Would it work? Probably not. I never tested it, so I don't know what it'll do in WvW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine almost never tell me to run either Illusion of Life or Veil. We use Scrapper invisibility, and Illusion of Life is honestly pretty useless. If you get to the point of needing to resurrect several people, you're already at a huge disadvantage to begin with. Ressing them with Illusion of Life only brings them to a small health % and they'll likely die instantly again. Plus, slotting Illusion of Life means you don't slot something that might have prevented them getting killed in the first place like Mimicking Null Field that clenses and strips boons. Without boons, enemies can't attack that strong, and without conditions, your allies won't die as much. So that's what i do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kencu.5846 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Yeah I don't like those skills either. Scrapper stealth is much better and Illusion assumes we are bad and are gonna die :D Now in WvW I run mantra healer, usually only scrappers cleanse more and often top in boon strip (no null field for me, I use phantasmal disenchanter with chronophantasma plus GS. The mantras only heal insane amount (3-4k) which you can spam with Mantra of Pain every few seconds if you want to. Illusionary Inspiration heals 3-500 on each ilusion which is ok support with GS and chronophantasma. Rune of flock heals 2k itself on top of the mantra heal which is just insane. I imagine my build outheals scrappers and firebrands loland now I'm on nomad runes, gonna take minstrel, it's gonna be even higher lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full minstrel's, one healing wells version, and another pure boonstrip. Both use illusions traitline so i can also go with mantras, but i didn't really try that. Maybe i'll take the mantra healing trait and try it out. Can you post your build with the build calculator thing? :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opopanax.1803 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 "Swords Out!"http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PijAwylRwkYQsDmJW6OWPNA-zRRYiRDDO4zoMFQLTAFPA-eGoal of the build is to be up close and personal on melee with swords. This build gives evasion, protection, regen.Play this by keeping Blurred Frenzy on CD so that you can proc Chaotic Interruption from Sword Mirage Cloak Skill 1 interrupt to reset Blurred frenzy for use.Chaos line brings good damage reduction and condition mitigation.Gear is split to keep regen and protection boons with good uptime.

Thanks for the video!Looking at the heals, there's a constant stream of them, like, giving sustain to your paty, i like that about Chrono and Inspiration traitline. :smile:And i'm already in full minstrel's i might try it! What sigils and runes are you using? And do you use infusions?Here's what i'm running for WvW:http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PiABw2t7lNwcYfMNWJOuSptPA-zVJYjx/ZkpKIdpgGPEBZP8Wa/SD-wAlso, unrelated to WvW, i tried my Crit kitten build in general PvE, and it's pretty fun! :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoci.2481 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 The I Dont Want To Die GS Power Chrono:http://gw2skills.net/editor/?Pi0AEx/lVwuYYsEGKeOT7NXA-zRIYRU/XKhVAZGCdGBtmAqdACYH8O0nB-eChaos/Inspiration/ChronoSurprisingly effective against some builds. Lots of quickness and superspeeding clones. Wear down your enemies. Can still almost one shot certain glass builds. Get out of dangerous situations easy peasy. Now you can troll the thief! At least until they get used to your build. Arcane Thievery is optional, use whatever you want. Mirror Images, Decoy or Mimic are good alternatives.
