Man I’m still annoyed that they killed mirage and kept virtuoso as strong as it is given its range and insane ease of use :/ was confusion being decent on 2 fights really so bad they had to kill both alac staff and axe mirage

Chrono F5: for beginners: 1. Do you have 3 clones up? 2. Is Phantasm and Signet heal Up? If 1 and 2 are Yes: Hit F5, cast Phantasm Signet heal and phantasm again. (while hitting f1-f4) For chrono builds this is typically done with staff, greatsword, or spear to get 4 double summons. As when you exit split you can recast phantasm heal reset phantasm. [F5> Phantasm > 6> Phantasm > F5 (end split) > Phantasm > 6 > Phantasm] 3. Do you have a dmg based ultimate up? If 3 is true cast your Phantasm combo then Ultimate (while hitting f1-f4) [F5> Phantasm > 6> Phantasm > 0] (even if ultimate is on cooldown you can get in the habit of hitting it here) 4. Are you using Spear? If using a spear then you need to make sure 5 is castable before the split. Don't worry about casting your ult since then timing can be tight. There is a brief window after jumping and before the reset where spear 2 can be interrupted so I just hit f4 to go invuln for a moment and setup the right timing for 6's heal reset. Basically, input this: F5> 4> 5> F4> 6> 2> 4 + 0 (if time) >F5.
I played Mesmer back when gw2 came out, havent played since living world season 1. Came back a couple weeks ago, still loving mesmer. Got zerker virtuoso as my general OW build, switching to condi cele cirtuoso or cele mirage for solo champions, sometimes hopping on mirage GS for tagging in metas, but generally everything dies so quickly, getting a single clone out is next to impossible. I feel like they need to rework clones to be bound to yourself instead of enemies, attacking your target, otherwise viruoso wil always the best at everything except support, for which I play full cele chrono boon healer, which is amazing and easy at the same time. its cele because im currently playing mostly story and OW and its my first ascended set and cele helps a lot with solo champions if needed. my zerker is currently ascended trinkets only, weapons and armor is so hard to come by without the free chests from WV ....
How is Power Boon Chrono in open world and survivability? 😄 Debating about Power Virtuoso or Power Chrono... Chrono seems really nice and versatile right now
@@SilhouetteGaming1 Power, Melee* DPS lol | Bonus points if you mention that Bladesworn literally doesn't work as an Alacrity Providing Boon-Support since they yote the Regen off the staff auto & you don't get an F1 (unless you sacrifice a utility slot to the God of Water Bottles) 🤣
Rolled a mesmer as my main in late 2012 ... came back in 2023 and it still felt great. But Noxxi has spoiled your intro music for me forever: th-cam.com/video/e7moeYEMe_k/w-d-xo.html
hi nice job, kind of sad that I cant play dual spear power mirage in instanced, had a lot of fun in OW but when doing golem couldn't even reach 20k, there is still hope that Anet will change mirage to be able to use power variant in instanced

You’re my hero
Mesmer's top utility was single handedly killing entire gw2 esport dream in 2016

Fear they need to remake mirage…
And make it unique and fun again ❤
Mirage is still stupid good in open World.
Great guide! I'm getting back into Mesmer. This'll be handy.

Power spear mirage is pretty fun and effective in WvW.
These are great videos and I have been sharing them as a resource for my guild. Keep up the good work!
Definitely appreciate it. Got 5 more to do.
Chrono F5: for beginners:
1. Do you have 3 clones up?
2. Is Phantasm and Signet heal Up?
If 1 and 2 are Yes: Hit F5, cast Phantasm Signet heal and phantasm again. (while hitting f1-f4) For chrono builds this is typically done with staff, greatsword, or spear to get 4 double summons. As when you exit split you can recast phantasm heal reset phantasm. [F5> Phantasm > 6> Phantasm > F5 (end split) > Phantasm > 6 > Phantasm]
3. Do you have a dmg based ultimate up?
If 3 is true cast your Phantasm combo then Ultimate (while hitting f1-f4) [F5> Phantasm > 6> Phantasm > 0] (even if ultimate is on cooldown you can get in the habit of hitting it here)
4. Are you using Spear?
If using a spear then you need to make sure 5 is castable before the split. Don't worry about casting your ult since then timing can be tight. There is a brief window after jumping and before the reset where spear 2 can be interrupted so I just hit f4 to go invuln for a moment and setup the right timing for 6's heal reset.

perfect, thank you very much you made my day and I presume you will be making my day at least
5 more times
i believe the spear rotation is 2-5-2-4 since 5 reset your 2 skill you can cast it insta
Power dps Virt is so much fun. The gap closers on the spear are so good.

@justin1066 it's not bad, feels good with quickness generation, it is very versatile.
you play this alot? yet your rotation on pvirt is completely wrong and drops below 40k? 😂 what is wrong with u
Mainly because I'm a grown ass man who doesn't give a fk. I already beat the whole game bruh
@@SilhouetteGaming1 dont make a vid on sht u cant play
I Dare you to do the Warrior One :D
You know I'm going to. Power DPS builds x 3

Yeah the EOD horns are intense lol I have to tone them down so much when editing
What's the difference between the Viper's pieces (from the other condi v. Build in the standalone guide) and sinister from this build?
I think this one is higher overall dps. I had good success with both versions really.

@@bamboozled_again yeah bro I don't even know
@@SilhouetteGaming1 plate of "chicken with wine in French"
@interloper8029 is that what is means? Damn should've done my homework.
Thank you!
Sorry for the noob question, but do I need another dagger for 2nd one with focus or can I just use the dagger from dagger sword?
Same dagger. So only 3 weapons total :)
@@SilhouetteGaming1 thank you so much, I'll try to figure out later how to transfer the dagger from 1st set to the 2nd set.
@@germanypsn6256 just remove the mainhand weapon of your second set and only leave the focus offhand.
@@SilhouetteGaming1 OMG it's as easy as that? Thank you so much for this information.
i miss staff/staff mirage 😓
Me too. Was a fun playstyle bouncing all around.
