使用说明 Usage

Elite specialization basics

• Dodge rolling is replaced by Mirage Cloak, which is more or less the same thing but allows you to cast skills and grants access to ambush attacks over its duration: ：Axe and ：Sword. Ambush skills replace the autoattack of the weapons for 1.5 seconds.

• You can dodge while casting skills and performing actions such as rezing or stomping, but NOT while CC'd.

General

• While the build has several tools for dealing with incoming conditions, there's no skill that's only reserved for cleansing. Dodge rolling for example removes 2 conditions via ，but blows all your endurance. removes 2 conditions but makes you use your only source of stealth. This means that against condition based specs you should play extra careful and alter your playstyle a bit to reserve your cleansing tools for the right time.
  • is something of an exception to this rule and as such remains your ebst source of cleansing. While this skill could be used offensively to rip boons from enemies, it should be reserved for cleansing-only vs condition specs. In mirror matchups against other Mesmers the one who uses AT second usually wins the duel.

• Your strongest option against damage in general is ，granting you immunity against any form of pressure including CC and conditions that are already on you.

• turns into an instant source for clone generation, provided that you already have an active clone.

• Shatter skills and interrupts remove boons from enemies.

• is amazing to cascade several cc onto your target provided several clones are active.

机动性

• Use when moving between capture points, assuming you get your endurance back before making it to the next fight. Throwing in a ：the Vigor from could help you recover endurance a bit quicker, further boosting your mobility by a small amount.
  • Swapping weapons before the end of the animation cancels the portion of the skill that would stop you at the end of the leap, increasing your jump distance especially when you used the leap on the highground.

Damage

• Sustained damage is fairly low in this build, while burst damage is extremely high.

• Your goal is to roam the map, find a target that's out of CDs, and take them down in a matter of seconds before moving on.

• Axe is the primary offensive set while Sword is a bit more defensive.

• is the strongest shatter skill here when it comes to damage, followed by 。
