GW2. WvW Build. DPS Virtuoso WvW Zerg Build. Mesmer WvW. Large Scale WvW Build.
The DPS Virtuoso is a long-range burst Mesmer build for WvW that has high burst damage with unblockable effect and boon removal. 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.
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.
Basic Burst Combo: Dodge > Thousand Cuts + F1 > Sword of Decimation > Rain of Swords > Greatsword 4 > 3 > Blade Renewal > Dodge > F1
When waiting for your cooldowns you can evade using the Sword 2 or reposition using the Sword 3.
