Mirage - Chaotic Condition Roamer

• Mirage - Chaotic Condition - Conquest PvP version.

Skill Variants

Utility

Every utility except 闪光传送 can be replaced by the following skills:

• 午夜纹章 - adds stealth to the build and has a nice passive.

• 坚定咒语 - if you're having trouble dealing with incoming conditions.

• 幻象纹章 - more shatter spam and the passive has some nice synergy with the build.

Heal

• 幻光盛宴 - better cleansing but worse ambush access.

Food

• Optimal: 碗装欧尔松露鲜肉煲

• Budget: 碗装鲜肉冬菜煲

Utility

• Optimal: 尚雅调谐水晶

• Budget: 紧密优质调谐水晶 (found in Canned Food Crates looted from WvW Skirmish Chests)

Note: the budget options are perfectly fine, not going for the optimal consumables won't really make too much of a difference.

Variants

• 痛苦吉兆 improves your sustain against condition builds but it's going to cost you some Staff CD reductions and condition damage.

Variants

• 自欺欺人 increases your burst potential but trades sustain for it.

Celestial gear is also a viable option. Your burst damage will be higher especially when playing with Axe, but your condition damage lower (which is the main focus of the build). Cele works best against builds with high condi cleansing, while Trailblazer is better in every other scenario.

Note: Trailblazer can be rather expensive to get, Dire gear is much easier to collect and should do the trick until you finish your Trailblazer set.

Equipment Variants

Relics

• - allows you to pick up on Mirage while still maintaining perma .

Sigils

Staff

• over - if you can afford to give up some condition removal for a stacking damage buff.

Runes

• - better than Rune of Tormenting when playing with Scepter.

• - higher burst damage option.

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 for the duration: for staff and for axe. Ambush skills replace the autoattack of the weapons for 1.5 seconds.

• Pressing dodge grants increased movement speed and , which reduces incoming condition duration while it lasts thanks to . 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 , denying your opponent various bonuses.

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

General

• Besides cleansing conditions while at the same time pressuring your opponent with them, is also useful for boon removal/stacking in general, for example getting rid of their or stealing for synergy.

• Staff is your defensive set used for ranged poking, mobility, and sustained damage while Axe/Pistol is there for burst damage.

• 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 Staff ambush also supplies you with a good amount of .

Sustain

• Staff is your primary defensive weapon.

• may not look that amazing at first glance, but it's an instant cast skill which applies AoE to nearby foes and could also apply and , 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.
