GW2. Best Open World Build. Virtuoso. Mesmer PvE 2022.

Last Update: March 5
Overview
This Virtuoso build uses bleeds, dagger, and utility skills to stock blades extremely fast to send out as many bladesongs as possible which generate more blades. It is an aggressive build that survives while dealing damage by using range and the scepter torch as a defensive set.
Burst Rotation: Pistol 5 > F2 > Dagger 3 > Pistol 4 > F1 > Dagger 2 > Dagger 1 > Swap to Scepter when in danger or if Pistol 4 is longer than 10 seconds CD left > Scepter 3 > Torch 4/5 > Scepter 1 for max blades > Swap to Dagger/Pistol when F2 is ready and repeat

This is a really good open world build. I tried power variations but it just didn’t do enough damage. I’m handling open world content well with Celestial Exotic gear.
Hi, what is the skill rotation? I made the build but am looking for a rotation 🙂 Good job btw!
Never mind my first comment ^^ I found the rotation, looked over it!
I’m having a blast with this build, slightly different utility skills but barely need to swap to the scepter/torch so far. Really fun, and much better than the suggested build on metabattle.
This build is just so freaking fun. Celestial on a Mesmer. YAS! Thank you so much for this.
