Power Ambush Mirage Roaming Build

GW2. WvW Build. Power Ambush Mirage Roaming Build. Mirage. Mesmer World vs World 2023.


Last Update: May 2023


Overview

Mirage is limited to one bar of endurance, but this build utilizes many other alternatives to avoid damage such as distortion, blurs, and positioning. This build is versatile with its ability to lock down single targets but also switch gears into dealing massive AoE damage from range. As opposed to the typical burst power mesmer builds this one specializes in sustained damage over time, but this has some decent burst damage.

Synergy

Distortion allows the use of ambushes, and every signet grants distortion, allowing many ambushes for great mobility and lockdown on sword or tons of AoE pressure on greatsword.

Playstyle

Create clones then dodge to trigger their and your ambush attacks from Infinite Horizon, then shatter the clones and create more. There is much more clone generation on sword, so be sure to shatter more often there, while greatsword gets more value out of not shattering and letting the greatsword clones use Split Surge. Use Distortion more defensively and dodging more aggressively because distortion does not grant ambush to your clones, though the Mirage Mirrors from the Distortion shatter will allow many ambushes from your clones, so try to create clones quickly after distorting.

  1. Great and fun build. Any other options on runs?
    Also want more videos with this build, Would be cool if u make more

    • Honestly Fireworks runes are too good, I can’t suggest another for this build. The video is not mine, you can check Vallun youtube channel or watch his stream on twitch he plays this build often.

  2. SUPER FUN! build! the sheer amount of dodges and split surges u can put out with the clone regen makes this super fun in WvW

  3. What are your thoughts on Absorption in place of Cleansing on the Sword/Pistol set?
