幻术师 Mesmer - Core Shatter Roamer

特性 Specializations

• lowers the burst damage done by shatters, but makes your interrupts way more dangerous. Skilled Mesmers can use this trait to completely shut down enemy healing skills against certain builds, and the Weakness application adds some extra sustain to the build too. This trait has synergy with as removing Stability with shatters makes enemies more vulnerable to interrupts.

• lowers your personal survivability but adds a lot of rez power to the build in case you're roaming in a group.

装备 Equipment

Stats

使用说明 Usage

General

• is your best defensive CD as it breaks stun, grants distortion and removes 5 conditions via on top of giving you Stealth while blinding enemies.

• The build has a lot of condition removals but very few mass cleanses:
  • Swapping to Sword/Torch procs which removes another 3.
  • Phantasms take 1 condition from you when summoned.
  • Using your healing skill removes 1 condition.
  • cleanses 2 other conditions when used.

• works both defensively and offensively. You can use its Stealth to disengage from fights or sneak-attack your opponent. As it's AoE you could even stealth downed allies to make reviving easier or prevent them from getting stomped.

• is a rather flexible skill, how you're going to use it could depend on what other CDs are available. If both 和 are on CD then you might want to hold onto it as a stun break/panic button, otherwise this is a great mobility tool to either chase down enemies or surprise them with a sudden melee burst.

• Try to charge while you have Quickness either from summoning Phantasms or swapping to Greatsword.
  • When you end a fight make sure to charge up this mantra before mounting up so you don't have to bother with that at the start of the next fight.

Damage

• What the build lacks in sustained damage, it makes up for in bursts.

• There are two important damage modifiers to note, 和 。 In an ideal situation you'd have a higher health percentage than your opponent while they shouldn't be casting anything. Using CC skills before burst combos or surprising them from stealth should help you get the most out of Mental Anguish.

• is mainly a defensive skill, but because it reduces the CD of your Phantasms sometimes it's worth using to gain early access to especially if you need to pressure a low HP enemy.

• Swapping to GS procs ，the brief Quickness serves to speed up your burst rotation.

• The GS combo is best done in melee range for various reasons. One, to get the most out of the bounces and two, to make yourself act as an extra clone for shatters.

Basic combo:

1. in melee range.
2. (Power Lock) right before Mirror Blade is about to hit the target, the Daze increases your damage via 。
3. once the clone from Mirror Blade has spawned.
4. as soon as you can.

Extended burst combo:

1. Optional - start from stealth to make the burst less predictable. If you're using you could time your burst in a way that the stealth runs out in the middle of the combo as The Prestige does AoE damage after it runs out. Breaking the stealth doesn't cause the damage to go off any sooner.
2. Optional - if you start from Sword/Torch you could try rooting the target with 。
3. Optional - if you can afford to discard a strong defensive CD, using right before the burst spawns another clone that can be shattered by ：extra damage.
4. in melee range.
5. (Power Lock) right before Mirror Blade is about to hit the target.
6. once the clone from Mirror Blade has spawned.
7. as soon as you can.
8. If the opponent is still alive, you can use / / ，or to interrupt healing skills.
