Ratings
This build is extremely strong in the right hands, able to take virtually any 1v1 and an extremely potent roamer, but primarily for competitive play in tournaments. Between having a very high skill floor and ceiling to be effective (and survive), it's often not as accessible or suitable for ranked, but much more playable and effective in organized games. In less experienced hands, it's virtually unplayable, as it's very vulnerable to conditions and nascent random damage in games, when its defensives aren't nearly perfectly used.
Can be extremely powerful in the right hands, but it gets deleted just as easily as it can delete others. Very unforgiving build both to play and to play against, if used correctly the daze mantra can shut down enemy healing skills consistently which is one of the main threats of the build. Great mobility and damage, but very low sustain.
With how many willbenders and dragon hunters (bunkers) there are around in this season, this build is sadly unplayable. It literally cannot do shit against them. Like sure it has mobility thru sword, but other than that.. Nothing. It's also been nerfed countless times, excellent. 3/5 at most
Any mesmer spear build is a 5 right now. This one is at least alittle more interactive than chrono in the sense that it's less likely to one shot you (it still can though). Plus extra mobility through ambush spam and it has that inulnerability that makes people hate mirage. I've seen people play this almost like a thief with the deception that ports you to the target and then back out again with its return. Might be a good swap since signet of illusions is definitely not as strong as it used to be. Still the weakest of the three spear builds, with virtuoso coming out on top, definitely better than alot of other stuff right now though, and it is relatively common in ranked. I question having dune cloak though, as this is a roamer/teamfighter, I feel as though often the clones end up dying alot, making it hard to get value out of the trait. I've tried elusive mind and it can be decent against condi matchups or situations where chill or weakness are problems, but infinite horizon is my go to, as it let's you stack up cc and damage from the ambushes, while also providing extra boonrip if taking mirage mantle. I also think that rending shatter could replace empowered illusions if you want to rely less on phantasm bursts and more on following up on shatters, but that's also just personal preference because I don't like relying on the phantasm since they are so easily negated.
