Looking for build advice

[Vukoje.7450]

Hi!

I recently started to play more after years of inactivity because mirage is so much fun, and I am looking for build advice. I used to play with knight/berserker stats with torch/sword/staff shattering years ago, and I am still quite fixated on sword and torch (I can pretty much play it with action camera without looking on interface ). Also, I used dueling/illusions on my old build. I used to play a lot of WvW roaming/spvp back then.

 

Reason I played knight/berserker and not condi was also that condi used to be kind of useless for pve and I always wanted to have 1 build for everything.

 

I am looking for build advice. Is confusion ok even for pve now? Is there any build for mirage that can use dueling/illusions/mirage? I found one on metabattle but it is condi based - are conditions okay even in pve now? I would love to use sword. For swap I dont care so much about GS/staff.

 

I can get any ascendent armor/trinket/weapon.

 

Thanks for any response.

Not really. Since NPCs attack slowly, confusion barely damages them, so you're better off using power builds.

Only the damaging ones, like burning, bleeding, etc.

The staff is useful for defensive purposes. In PvE, you don't need to have defensive weapons. Just use sword and greatsword.

 

Hopefully, this helped you.

Snow Crows has an excellent condition mirage build on their site for PvE. Conditions are great in pve, usually better than power.

I use Aliam's build for Open world PvE and it rocks.

I have been Aliam’s build as well and agree it is awesome. I kill things now that use to slaughter me fast.
