Mirage Open World Build

GW2. Best Open World Build. Power Mirage. Mesmer PvE.


Last Update: December 2023


The Split Surge Mirage is a mesmer build for open world PvE that sustains itself by dodging A LOT. Dodging creates clones and enables you and those clones to use Ambush skills which improve the 1 skill of each weapon. On Dagger, the Ambush skill is a daze which can apply tons of vulnerability and grant you quickness due to the Domination traits; and on the Greatsword, Split Surge is a beam that spreads to multiple targets and will pierce them and give you might the more enemies it hits. Using these ambushes is your main damage source, especially because of the Infinite Horizon trait that makes your clones copy your ambush so you want to maintain 3 clones and then enable ambushes by Dodging, Illusionary Ambush, or picking up Mirage Mirrors created by your False Oasis heal skill.

Skill Priority:

  • Summon Clones (Greatsword 4/2) (Dagger 2/Sword 5)
  • Dodge > Ambush (1)
  • Mimic + Illusionary Ambush
  • Shatter F1 if clone generating skills are ready before your next dodge
  • Swap Weapon

  1. This build still viable? How do i decide between marauder or berserker stats and what would actually be the best? Thanks for all your amazing work!

  2. Go berserker armor and marauder accesories like he does here.. I think its more balanced than full berserker.

    I only somehow like full berserker with Chrono as it has more defensives.

  3. Really cool build. Offers some complexity and it’s unique way of surviving. Very nice this new iteration is just as cool as the old one.

  4. Old version offers great sustain and newer is kinda to squishy for me….Question is will it work with dagger/sword but with old traits?
