This build is broken af and unkillable with so much invuln, aegis and block. As written it's a bunker, and offers support by dropping lot of aegis w/ storm and precog. Stay on staff at middle range to accumulate clones (staff 2+3). Bounce Winds of Chaos to apply confusion+torment, for allies might+fury. Winds of Chaos ricochets, abuse this by standing closer. Continuum Shift enables doublecasts, so spam staff instas, shatters and Eternity if you want doublehealz. Scepter/shield come out if you take pressure, or for laser beamed confusion stacks. You'll rarely get highest damage, but you can often hold 2v1. Shield, distortion, and precog have incredible chain denial. Wells have incredible tilt factor. Shatters have incredible burst. Damage comes in packets of 200-400, so it's strictly pressure only until you can burst all the shatters at PBAoE, but punishment ramps against more active foes (Confusion, chaos aura). Don't sleep on combo fields--Phase Retreat in your ethereal fields for Chaos Aura. Phase Retreat can be a surprisingly effective and frequent dodge. Mobility lacks with just +25% speed. I've settled on Signet of Illusions for shatter fuel and targeting hell. Pro tip: enable Melee Attack Assist in settings and rub against foe. Shatters+winds of chaos+wells all have much higher efficacy at melee range. Replaced staff sigils with Courage and Purging. One caution: can feel flaccid if you need to do direct damage.
The alacrity nerf made this slightly more fightable. But this is still literally unkillable. I hate the fact that this is the meta mesmer build. But you know, if you wanna afk on a sidenode and just not die, this is the build for you
I cannot wait for this to die. Literally. Whenever I see one on the enemy team I make a mental note to not even try. With perma alac uptime they're never out of defensives to spam and half their defensives just give them more alac.. used to play this briefly but the mirrors made me fall asleep. CC chaining an entire enemy team is oddly satisfying however. Grav well is bae.
The buffs did their job, Chrono's once again back at the top. Great sustain in 1v1s and plenty of group utility for anything abvoe that. Damage's not that high but it can survive long enough to get +1d against just about anything in the meta. Condi cleanse is on the lower end but manageable, especially in a power meta.
