Overview
A WvW Celestial Mirage roaming build created to overwhelm its opponents with CC skills and condition bursts.
Skill Bar
Skill Variants
Utility
Keep 
闪光传送 on your bar at all times, but you can play around with the other utility slots:
-
午夜纹章 - stunbreak and stealth. -
秘法汲取 - helpful skill against conditions that could also get rid of 
稳固 on targets, opening them up for interrupts. -
幻象纹章 - allows you to spam your shatter skills more, and even has some passive clone generation.
Weapons
-
Torch over Pistol - a more defensive option with cleansing and stealth access. Take
心智体操 for the first slot of Dueling and 
沙漠失真 on Mirage. -
Axe over Staff - this is a more bursty, high risk/reward option. Swap your offhands around a bit to get Sword/Torch and Axe/Pistol.

Relics
-
恶魔女王古物 - less bursty option, but that doesn't always mean lower damage. It's easier to proc this relic (lower ICD, only requires landing a CC not scoring an interrupt) and even acts as a cover condition on top of dealing damage and reducing enemy healing. -
幻象术士古物 - solid damage that gets applied passively. -
河流古物 - defensive relic that significantly improves your Alacrity and Regen uptimes.

Usage
Elite specialization basics
-
Dodge rolling is replaced by Mirage Cloak (we might still refer to it as dodging), which is more or less the same thing but allows you to cast skills and grants access to ambush attacks for the duration:
幻象戳刺 for sword and 
混沌漩涡 for staff. Ambush skills replace the autoattack of the weapons for 1.5 seconds. -
Pressing dodge grants increased movement speed and
再生, which reduces incoming condition duration while it lasts thanks to 
复元绿洲. 
无限视界 makes it so that whenever you gain Mirage Cloak, your clones are also going to receive it with all benefits including access to ambush attacks - it can even make your clones evade skills such as 
全力反击, denying your opponent various bonuses. -
You can dodge while casting skills or stomping/rezing, but you can't dodge while CC'd.
General
-
If taken Besides cleansing conditions while at the same time pressuring your opponent with them,
秘法汲取 is also useful for boon removal/stacking in general, for example getting rid of their 稳固 or stealing 
活力 for 
游牧民的耐力 synergy. -
The basic game plan is simple: dodge rolling summons a clone and makes all of your clones unload ambush attacks. Your goal is to build up your clone count and spam ambushes on enemies.
-
The entire build was built around spamming CC, as interrupts proc
力量阻隔 and 
痛苦古物. As a result you both apply pressure to your target and shut down their offensive capabilities. -
Sword/Pistol is your burst set while Staff fills a more defensive role with sustained damage.
-
Shatter skills remove boons, which is a great way of getting rid of
稳固 and opening up targets for more 
晕眩 spam.
Staff
-
混乱护甲 may not look that amazing at first glance, but it's an instant cast skill which applies AoE 
目盲 to nearby foes and could also apply 
保护 and 
虚弱, effectively filtering incoming damage through two layers of mitigation. It's an excellent skill for surviving direct damage burst and it's usable even while CC'd. -
混乱风暴 is the strongest skill on this weapon. Standing in it supplies allies with defensive boons including 
圣盾 while inflicting several conditions that can mitigate damage like 虚弱 or Chill Chill (Chill makes it harder to reach you while slowing down their skill recharge rate). The first hit of Chaos Storm always 晕眩s enemies, making it a reliable AoE interrupt. -
相位撤退 is good for building some distance between you and your target, and can even be used while stunned, potentially allowing you to save dodges for later. -
The build has rather poor access to condition cleansing by default, limited only to
远行, 
超级洁净法印 and possibly 秘法汲取. Try to play it safe against condition specs: outrange them with staff, chain block / evade frames in melee, etc. Your strongest option against damage in general is 
失真, granting you immunity to any form of pressure including CC and conditions that are already on you. -
Use
相位撤退 for mobility while roaming or chasing after targets. Phase Retreat teleports you in the opposite direction of where you're facing, so to teleport "forward" turn around to use it and then turn back. We recommend that you set up a bind for about face to do this in a fluid manner (Options ⇒ Control Options ⇒ Movement).- Make sure that you don't have an enemy targeted when doing this!
