Hey, that was my comment!! thanks so much for this video I've been messing around with a very similar setup to yours. been very fun and satisfying getting through open world being able to solo so much content, really appreciate the vid.
If i were to replaace all the gear with Vipers stats do you think this build is viable to take into other pve content. or maybe i should get a gearset ready for virtuoso that seems so strong w the 100% crit chance condi build lol. i do really like the mirage though
@xFazB uh, the build would be pretty different. There is a condi mirage build but I think it's pretty rough rotation wise, not sure of the gear for it. My go to is CVirtuoso, definitely the best all around cdps build if you aren't looking to get sweaty.
Yeah i always have staff mirage on my Mesmer, but it's definitely unnecessary and even suboptimal for the majority of open world activities. When in a small group or solo fighting something actually hard, it's incredible. But the reality is the majority of the time, burst is nice to kill trash and tagging ability is nice when the group is large enough. While I definitely recommend staff mirage for people when solo on anything difficult, I would highly recommend playing something burstier for the majority of the time in the open world. Power mirage is my favourite with greatsword and a dagger-sword personally!
How critical do you think the nightmare runes are? I've been trying to lean more into traveler because I find the 25% movement speed in open world helps; although I do realize the need to get a bit extra damage as we know this isn't exactly topping DPS meters.
I mean you can try it if you like it run it. I'd say nightmare or torment runes are probably the best dps/survivability. But it can't hurt, if you run into dps problems like running out of time then you know what to change
Is there a reason why Rune of the Nightmare is preferred over Trapper? I don't see anywhere mirage puts out fear and its kind of a pain to get Nightmare vs Trapper....
Not trying to be a smartass but it appears that almost all of these immortal builds revolve around full or mostly celestial gear. I guess it makes sense given the nature of the stats. Like, you could almost blindly pick traits and still be decently effective. I guess some specs benefit more from cele than others but you would still have a tanky build with acceptable damage. I used this with full Viper's before but have gone with cele elsewhere recently for open world (untamed/scourge) and it does smooth things out. Cheers.
Yeah it's mostly because that's the stats booster gear uses. It also helps with boon uptime as well. Almost all classes have a Cele build that works out well.
@vipnation9854 run a power focused build while leveling. Domination and dueling are the first traitlines you should unlock. Sword/Sword mainhand and greatsword, if you have SoTO with weapon master unlocked on the account you can run dagger mainhand sword offhand.
Is never played mesmer before except unlocking mirage for pof weapon collection, but like a month ago i decided to run around hot hero points to unlock virtuoso and it just soloed everything, and i didnt even have good gear, youre just dodging until everything dies 🤣
Guide content is relevant to my channel. Talking shit about the game is great and all but that isn't my audience, I am a centrist overall if I don't like a game I just don't play it. Sorry to disappoint, homie.
Who talks shit? Facts homie. You gotta learn to read analytics cause you got more views and followers than with this. But do what every other content creator does. Good luck.
@lionmeows eh, at some point I decided to balance the content I wanted to make vs chasing analytics. Ultimately I make videos that are relevant, and hopefully add value, this was a response to a user which didn't fit in a separate video series; but helped with upload frequency overall. And +8 subscribers. The video you reacted to did extremely well, partially because of the emotional nature, and partially because larger creators or creators like yourself with a different target audience gave exposure to it. Making one-offs like that are something I plan on doing more, but at some point you gotta give your core audience what they want as well. It's a balancing act, you know marketing better than I do for sure, but I'm not sure I'm interested in hyperanalyzing my analytics.
Best build for getting stuck in walls/under the map, too.
Nice! A hidden feature!

No problem! I don't typically do open world videos but people seem to love them. I'll eventually have some version of this on the z2h account.

Thats almost. My open wolrd build, I can confirm, cannot be killed XD I did every bounty on pof a soloed most hero points in hot
Yeah I was like "ive never soloed these bounties but I bet I can" wasn't even hard tbh
My build too, very efficient to survive 👍🏻 nice video
The 2nd set of weapon I used rifle and I put some AR resist on mine and just soloed a T3 Chaos myself! Nice build man!
Nice! I haven't tried fractal solos but I can imagine if any build could do it this one could.

Power chrono is what I've been running on the Z2H account. I didn't boost so no immortal mirage yet

Thanks and making armor for that now!

Trapper works fine. I'm not sure what is better overall but if you have trapper it should work

@@vipnation9854 yep still works and is still good!
@@SilhouetteGaming1 any pointers while leveling? Im lvl25 atm

Power great sword & dual sword

Best build to solo champ and get soled by trash mobs 😂😂😂
I get solod by everything in any build rip
@@SilhouetteGaming1 🤣🤣🤣🤣
for mob power mirage double gs with new relic perma might regen and alac
Try core mesmer with scepter & grieving stats ;) If you want more survivability you take illusions & signets for unlimited distortion
Mine is staff gc.
You went back to the same boring content. I thought you were on to something.

This is why ANet doesn’t care about its fans. You could have stood for something, made change, but you fell back in line. It’s ok. Do you.
thanks for the build, really helpful for fairly new players like me.
