After playing it for a bit, I'm personally still fond of the Chrono variant over this one by the smallest margin due to preferring Chronophantasma+Continuum Split+Shield over Jaunt+Mirage Thrust+Elusive Mind (but man are both good).
That being said, this build has completely sold me on Sword/Sword as a weaponset for mesmer. The damage provided by Sword5 is absolutely nutty and pairs well with Sword3's immobilize. This variant of the build is fairly vulnerable to conditions with only a few single-condition clears scattered here and there, so it may be beneficial to make some minor changes in the pre-game lobby if the opponents are packing multiple Scourges.
This build's strengths are definitely mobility and dueling. It has enough consistent damage to force out most other builds before being pressured itself. Like all power mirages, it also has unmatched mobility and can usually disengage very safely from almost all situations (though lack of torch means fewer crazy disengages than before).
With the upcoming nerfs hitting several portions of this build (Disenchanter CD increase, Elusive Mind stunbreak causes exhaustion, Phantasmal Force might nerf, Surging Rune removed), this is a "play it while you can" sort of build.
After a few days of testing and playing this build, I find it very strong in most 1v1 situations and fun to play. The only thing that I find it lacks is in the condi cleanse department. You just have to play smart against scourages, stay out of their range and summon your phantasms to attack your enemy.
I wish testing a similar build before Misha posted this one (though mine was a condi variant), but this seems more effective since power has been buffed in the last patch. Might generation and burst damage is great. Lots of evades and nearly 100% upkeep of protection makes it extremely durable too.
trades sustain and brawling power for more damage, stunbreak and mobility. although it feels lackluster to me, ive only played a few games with it, but it just feels kind of clunky and without the sustain you are kind of rellying on sheer damage to win 1v1's. Its probably just because im bad at the build, but the chrono variant seems to work better for me.
This has to be the most well rounded mesmer build out there. Brings both great out of combat mobility and the ability to contest and control side points. It's just ridiculous how good this build is.
yeah litterally saw misha beat sindrener out of all people.
Ive seen this one out for a bit. This is a deadly build and maybe alittle more viable for mesmer than the chrono version just because it has team play aspects like portal
Another cancer build that emerged after the mesmer rework. Fixes the weaknesses of the chrono version with better mobility and more stun breaks.
