GW2. Power Ambush Mirage PvP Build. Mesmer 2023.

The Power Ambush Mirage is a Roamer mesmer build with the ability to do massive AoE damage great for being a team fighting DPS. Because of Desert Distortion, any of the signets will enable ambush attacks and the greatsword ambush ability Split Surge is the main source of damage. With high clone generation and Infinite Horizon, you’ll want to rotate through dodges and distortion to keep landing ambushes when you have clones, and then shattering those clones when out of ways to trigger ambushes.
Basic Combos: Greatsword 4 > Greatsword 2 > Dodge > Ambush 1 > F3 > Pistol 4 > Sword 3 x2 > Dodge > Ambush 1 > Pistol 5 > Sword 111 > F1
Pistol 4 > Pistol 5 > Dodge > Ambush 1 > Sword 2 > Sword 3 x2 > Swap > Greatsword 2 > Dodge > Ambush 1 > F1

Domination Variant
With the domination traitline, this build has a lot less survivability and condition cleanse, which is made up for with Cleansing Sigils and Hoelbrak Rune, but it is much more synergy with the many dazes from the Sword Ambush with Power Block and damage synergy with Vulnerability on Greatsword Ambushes to provide more pressure and lock down to the target.

Why no domination? relying on GS ambushes and signets is not oppressive enough
I added the Domination variant below, which is also good but has clear tradeoffs with survivability
Why do you have Feedback selected under Inspiration, but you don’t have the skill Feedback selected on your utility bar?
