Mirage - Celestial Signet Roamer

An easy to play, hybrid Celestial Mirage build for WvW roaming that focuses on spamming dodges and 失真s for both defensive and offensive purposes.

Variants

• 痛苦吉兆 causes to cleanse 2 conditions, which also applies to all of your Signets thanks to 模糊铭文. The price of this is lower condition damage and longer CDs on Staff skills.

Variants

• 莫测思维 lowers your burst damage in exchange for even more cleansing.

Skill Bar Variants

Utility

• over - Blink is a staple Mesmer skill in almost any roaming/PvP build and replacing it is generally not recommended. SoM however has great synergy with many things in the build and adds an instant source of Distortion/Stealth/mass cleanse on top of breaking stuns. Your mobility and chase potential will be much lower however.

Food

• • is a cheaper version of Orrian Truffle and Meat Stew and sufficient enough in most cases.

Utility

• Optimal:

• Budget: either from Canned Food Crates found in WvW s or purchased from the Permanent Portable Provisioner.

Equipment Variants

Runes

• - passive mobility and increase to boon/condition durations, minor overall stat boost.

Stats

• A full set of Trailblazer gear is an equally viable choice.

Relics

• - if you don't own the Janthir Wilds expansion.

Elite specialization basics

• Dodge rolling is replaced by Mirage Cloak, which is more or less the same thing but allows you to cast skills and grants access to ambush attacks over its duration: for Staff and for Axe. Ambush skills replace the autoattack of the weapons for 1.5 seconds.

• You can dodge while casting skills or stomping/rezing, but you can't dodge while CC'd.

General

• Always do your boon stacking rotation on CD!

  • Rotation: start casting ⇒ dodge to cover the cast and get from the relic ⇒ + use any shatter skill before SoI goes off.
  • This combo is important for both damage and sustain, playing a key role in achieving a high uptime of , and as well as from the relic. All of these are very important for the build.
  • Any shatter will do, as the main goal is to prolong the Vigor granted by . Each shatter however also grants a unique boon from which you could capitalize on with the signet.

• Try to send your Phantasms on CD before using as your healing skill partially recharges them.

• Aim to either have no endurance, or low endurance right before swapping weapons. Both sets have a which refills your entire endurance bar, so let's not waste it.

• Signets give you , and Distortion allows you to use Ambush skills while active.

  • This however has no synergy with as these Ambushes don't come from Mirage Cloak.

Sustain

• There are several condition management tools in the build:

  • Weapon swapping to Axe removes 3 conditions via .
