Staff Alacrity DPS Mirage Build

GW2. Raid Build. Staff Alacrity Mirage. DPS Mesmer PvE 2023.

Last Update: Jan 2023


Alacrity DPS Variant


Overview

The Staff Alacrity Mirage is a mesmer build that can survive with high evasion and distortion uptime while also providing the main sources of alacrity , might, and fury to allies. It can be a ranged tank or kiter for fights like Broken King or Sabetha, or a safe ranged alacrity DPS (See Alternatives).

Playstyle

Role: Tank Kiter or DPS

Dodging will allow you and all of your clones to perform the Chaos Vortex ambush skill on your staff 1. This will do great damage over time and share alacrity to nearby allies because of how many ways you can trigger a dodge. Your heal skill False Oasis, Shattering Distortion, and the utility skill Crystal Sands will create a mirage mirror (purple diamonds) that will grant you mirage cloak (dodge) when you walk over them. Weapon swapping does nothing but trigger your energy sigil on both staves which will also give you more dodges.

Because the staff 3 takes several seconds to create clones, Shattering F2 can be a loss in damage, so if you plan to shatter F2, precast the 3 before your shatter and then after a few seconds use F2 and then staff 2 to maximize the clone uptime while still getting the shatter burst.

Skill Priority:

  • Staff 4 / Jaunt (instant casts)
  • Get 3 Clones on Target (Staff 3/2)
  • Dodge before maximum endurance > Staff 1 Ambush
  • Crystal Sands
  • Weapon Swap
  • False Oasis Heal
  • F2 Cry of Frustration when staff 3/2 are up and you are low on dodges
  • Staff 5

Gameplay


Kiter Variant


As a ranged kiter, you can still provide great damage with the same gear as the DPS version, but taking a Sword/Focus instead of a second staff for more mobility and CC. With the Inspiration traits you will provide Aegis to your allies when you gain distortion from signets which will protect allies while you are immune to damage, allowing you to also perform the role of a tank.

Use Signet of Inspiration to increase the boons of your allies, and keep dodging and distorting to enable your ambush to give alacrity, aegis, and might to your allies. Mimic can either be used for a quick Signet of Inspiration, or can be used with Signet of Illusions for refreshing shatters to allow you to double your Distortion uptime, making you extremely tanky.
