DPS Virtuoso WvW Zerg Build

GW2. WvW Build. DPS Virtuoso WvW Zerg Build. DPS Virtuoso. Mesmer World vs World.


Last Update: October 2024


The DPS Virtuoso is a long range burst mesmer build for WvW that has plenty of boon removal to help supplement its damage. All Bladesong Shatters will remove boons, but the F1 is the highest priority to use because it does the most damage with power scaling

Psychic Riposte makes your dodges grant you Blades to use on Shatters, and will also give your next Shatter unblockable. Because the Bladesong Shatters are projectiles, giving them unblockable also makes them ignore reflects, which makes them very reliable even in large fights. Try to dodge through red circles on the ground (usually these are pulsing AoE damage) because you need to successfully evade something to gain the extra blade stocking from Psychic Riposte which you can then return at them an unblockable shatter F1.

In between your F1 shatters you want to gather blades by using the Greatsword 2/4 and Focus 5. Phantasms are invulnerable, which can ensure they deal their damage to a large group before they are killed by random damage. Mimic can be used for a double Disenchanter or Null Field, depending on if you want lesser mobile boon removal or heavy but stationary boon removal.


Basic Burst Combo: Mimic > Null Field > Dodge > Null Field > Thousand Cuts + F1 > Greatsword 4 > 3

When waiting for your cooldowns you can evade using the Sword 2 or reposition using the Sword 3.
