GW2. Raid Build. Power Mirage Alacrity DPS. Mesmer PvE. Group PvE Build.
Role: DPS 
The Power DPS Mirage is a Mesmer build with high amounts of evasion while having a fast-paced shatter playstyle that can use any weapon it chooses but prefers to use the greatsword due to the tempo at which it can use the ambushes.
Dodging enters you into Mirage Cloak which will allow you and all of your clones to perform the ambush skill on your weapon. On the greatsword this shoots a beam at multiple targets which pierces everything in its path, making it great for situations with multiple enemies. This build will try to maximize how many times you can ambush with high Mirage Cloak uptime through dodges and the Dune Cloak trait which gives Mirage Cloak when you use any of your Shatters (F1-F4) with 2 or more clones.
Gaining Mirage Cloak will also reduce the cooldown of your F1, and since F1 grants Mirage Cloak with 2 or more clones, it will recharge itself slightly. It should take 3 total Mirage Cloaks to fully recharge the F1, so a pattern emerges here.
General Skill Rotation
- F1 with 3 Clones > Ambush
- Dodge > Ambush x2
While using your Mirage Cloak ambushes to recharge your F1 you also want to weave in clone generating skills so you have enough clones to shatter, which come from the 4 and 2 weapon skills on greatsword and spear. Also the utility skills Phantasmal Disenchanter and Mirror Images will create clones. Phantasmal Disenchanter can be used to fill in the gaps of your rotation for 1 extra clone, bu Mirror Images provides 2 clones instantly which is useful when your F1 is off cooldown but you would need to wait for your clones to generate, instead using Mirror Images would allow you to instantly progress the rotation instead of waiting. Here is a more specific priority.
Skill Priority
- Dodge > Ambush
- Get 3 Clones on Target (Staff 3/2)
- Weapon Skills (4/2 first)
- Utility Skills
CC – Crowd Control Skills
- Spear 4, Spear 5 after 2, Greatsword 5, Signet of Humility, F3
