Overview
A Power Mirage WvW roaming build that's all about pulling off massive bursts and pressuring targets through interrupts and smaller combos inbetween, or just surviving until the main combo comes off CD again.
Skill Bar
Skill Variants
Utility
错乱咒语 can be replaced if you feel like you need more sustain:
-
午夜纹章 - stealth access and stun break. -
幻影伏击 - evasion and repositioning. Could also help you chase and burst targets, it's not purely a defensive pick. -
沙铸玻璃 - low CD stun break + evasion, also gives you an opportunity to immediately counterpressure targets by granting you Mirage Cloak.

Variants
复元绿洲 increases your sustain a little especially against conditions, but makes it harder to build clones for burst combos.
Equipment
Equipment Variants
Relics
-
寻路者古物 - improved mobility at the expense of some burst damage. -
风暴咏者古物 - makes your Sword set more threatening, boosting your ambush damage quite nicely. -
伊斯加然古物 - a damage bonus that's easily maintained in most cases, but can be hard to get value out of when the enemy is playing defensively. Could offer higher damage modifier uptime than Fireowrks in exchange for less control over when it's going to be active. -
冒险者古物 - defensive relic with Mirage Cloak synergy.
Sigils
Greatsword
-
超级远见法印 - ensures that your entire burst combo's going to crit, but it's only relevant when you're using slightly different gear, as our current recommended setup has ~94% crit chance with 
激怒 (which could go even higher with consumables or WvW effects like Borderlands Bloodlust). -
超级敏捷法印 - the bit of quickness makes it harder to dodge your burst. -
超级空气法印 - strong damage proc for extra burst.
Sword/Torch
超级嗜血法印 - stacking damage boost at the expense of sustain. Could replace either one of the sigils.
Consumables
Food
-
碗装欧尔松露鲜肉煲 - extra endurance is quite useful not only for personal survivability but also for its inherent synergy with Mirage's ambush mechanic.- Budget:
碗装鲜肉冬菜煲
- Budget:
-
黑胡椒粉真空烹调肉排 - higher burst damage and passive damage mitigation.
Utility
Usage
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 its duration:
幻象戳刺 for Sword and 
分裂涌流 for Greatsword. Ambush skills replace the autoattack of the weapons for 1.5 seconds and can only be used once per Mirage Cloak activation. -
You can dodge while casting skills or stomping/rezing, but you can't dodge while CC'd.
General
-
粉碎专注 can be used to strip important boons such as 
稳固 or 
保护 off targets before or during bursts. 
挫败之吼 will primarily be used for this, but also works as a substitute for 
心灵粉碎 in your burst rotation when that's on cooldown. CoF deals much less damage than MW does, but it's better than nothing especially for finishing low HP enemies. -
There are several tools for stomping downed enemies including mirage cloak, stealth, and distortion.
-
Ambush attacks on the two weapons fill different roles:
- 幻象戳刺 provides excellent mobility both in and out of combat, but what truly makes it powerful are the trait synergies. The daze works with a bunch of traits on Domination, most notably
力量阻隔 which increases its damage significantly. Aside from doing damage or denying them healing for 15 seconds upon a successful interrupt of a healing skill, Mirage Thrust can also be used defensively for the 
虚弱. An example: if you're being pressured and have to dodge while on Sword not only will you avoid incoming damage, but also summon a clone via 
欺诈闪避, then make that clone do its ambush attack through 
无限视界, and now this clone can interrupt your enemy whilst triggering 力量阻隔 for the 虚弱 potentially ruining their entire burst. - 分裂涌流 is more of a filler. Good for ranged poking and setting up burst through Vulnerability and Might stacking.
Sword/Torch
-
A defensive set that can be used for mobility both in and out of combat.
-
Use the Sword ambush skill
幻象戳刺 for mobility even without a target (in case you need to build some distance). -
恍惚狂热 is mainly used as a defensive skill with a Distortion-like effect, but also offers decent cleave damage if the target has enough Vulnerability stacks. -
虚幻魔术 is a relatively powerful defensive skills because of the stealth and condition cleanse.
Sword burst combo example
Optimal Greatsword burst combo
Keep in mind that this is pretty much the perfect scenario, you'll often have to resort to shorter versions of this combo based on which parts are not on CD and whether the target has 稳固 or not.
Try to execute it as fast as you can, ideally all the damage should land within a ~1 second window. May take some practice to get it right.
- 虚幻魔术 can be used for the Stealth and a bit of added damage - if you do this, then wait until the Stealth almost runs out before proceeding with the rest of the burst.
- Optional - dodge while doing your burst combo to avoid getting interrupted and to summon another clone.
- Pre-cast
镜像飞刃, preferably in melee range in order to reduce the travel distance of the projectile and make the bounces go off faster and with better accuracy. Also to gain some extra 
威能 stacks. This skill spawns a clone on the first hit. - Daze your target with 错乱咒语 if possible, shortly before 镜像飞刃 hits the target. If it's not available then other sources of daze such as 幻象戳刺 will do just fine. When playing with 无限视界 and the Dueling Dueling variant it's your clone who's going to do the dazing - just dodge on sword and swap to GS for the 镜像飞刃 right after.
- Optional -
远行 at your target for a bit of extra damage, or to get rid of 
圣盾 if the target has it. - 心灵粉碎 to shatter the clones. More damage in melee range because the caster too counts as a clone for shatter skills.
心灵穿刺 for some extra damage.- Optional -
幻影狂战 can be used right before or after the burst. - Optional - Use a CC after the burst such as
幻象之波 if the target isn't dead and tries to heal up.
Without any of the optional steps, just for clarity:
-
镜像飞刃
- 错乱咒语 (technically "before" Mirror Blade, as you need to use it before the projectile hits)
-
心灵粉碎
-
心灵穿刺
