Usage
The usage section of this build is still being tested! A few important notes for now:
- Your shatters are very important to your DPS
- Your ability to generate "clones" (blades) remains important, as it does in any mesmer build
- A significant amount of your damage comes from Phantasms.
In general you should be using most of your skills on cooldown, however should be used defensively or to break Defiance bars.
Ratings
Very easy to play and very good burst. Compared to condition virtuoso, however, this power variant doesn't have sustain and has much lower Blade generation in combat.
Power Virtuoso is a very solid Power DPS build with good damage at range and a simple rotation. It is an excellent option in farm zergs due to its high burst and good sustained DPS but may be on the squishy side for solo play. I strongly recommend players try this build, as it's relatively easy to get very high damage with it.
