Overview

This is a tagging build for Mirage designed for the Mad King's Labyrinth. A tagging build is designed to farm enemies in large groups dealing little damage to earn kill credit while allowing other players also to tag that enemy. Tagging builds intentionally AVOID boosting Might and Fury.

Mirage can accomplish this by using a greatsword with Sigil of Superior Sigil of Stamina and spamming the Ambush skill Split Surge.

You can also brings mesmer's strong utility skills such as Blink and Portal Entre.

Relic

• This build uses almost the same gear set as Build:Mirage_-_Power_Mirage for ease of gearing. Remove your trinkets to reduce damage done and facilitate tagging for other players.
• Sigil of Superior Sigil of Fire and Sigil of Superior Sigil of Stamina are used for tagging. Place them on a low tier weapon. Relic of Speed helps with movement speed.
• Ensure you are using Scavenger Protocol: Might Trophies or Scavenger Protocol:Magic Trophies to profitably add to your farming with Scavenger Bags.

Consumables

Food

• Adds concentration and +40% Magic Find

Utility

• Adds conditional damage and +30% Magic Find

Usage

This build is extremely easy to play. Dodge and spam Spatial Surge / Split Surge on enemies. Use the Tab key to change targets to different groups. Use other Greatsword skills off cooldown. Sigil of Superior Sigil of Fire helps with tagging. Sigil of Superior Sigil of Stamina helps with stamina. Dodging also creates a clone thanks to Deceptive Evasion, who will also cast Spatial Surge due to Infinite Horizon.

Against bosses or when alone, use Dagger + Sword for higher damage.
