SO GLAD I’m not the only virtuoso out there using staff! Even though you can’t just mass clone mirage staff it feels so good to use staff to reposition in a fight to then respam the daggers! Great video as always
See I love using staff, but it just feels a little weak to me =(
Please do a one build for all series for the EOD specializations. Those are very helpful.

Well, as far as I can tell he is currently doing exactly that :P
+1
he shouldn't do it just yet. There will be massive balance change this summer and will invalidate all new builds. Gotta wait until then
@@qui11 when ?
Nice commentary as always, thank you for all the detailed and easy to digest commentaries/guides you've been uploading (also for asmr like voice and good taste in music) i can't state how much i appreciate them, especially as a power mesmer main. I've been trying out Virtuoso as well and use a similar build but i think as a dueler, dueling traitline (bottom, bottom, top) might be better than illusions , and because of that SoI instead of blade renewal. The version i'm currently playing uses sw/p gs and assassin's (yeah i'm serious, getting 1 shot to be able to cope up with other specs lol), feels more like your power mirage dueler build. I'd recommend giving it a shot if you haven't tried that combination yet, but i bet you already did lol.
PS d/p sw/sw with Phantasmal Fury seem to perform better.
Dude, you play really well. You can make anything work out and look easy enough doin' so 😁
Hey Val, I usually don't leave comments and I know I'm late to this video, but I wanted to thank you for all this content. The videos are great, keep it up!
I have absolutely no idea what is going on when it comes to a mesmer even if i am playing one myself.
Now i use... this thing... and then... yeah... uhh... actually gonna get back on this... yeah... as you can see... its pretty good.
Perfectly sums up my mesmer experience
Yay.... Virtuoso! ty for the vid!
Hey Vallun, thank you for the build. I was messing around with Virtuoso and found out an interesting combo with power build: pistol4 - pistol5 - thousand cuts - bladesong harmony - unstable bladestorm - bladecall is a very powerful oneshot. Some people (forum brainlets) find virtuoso weak.. But this combo for the most part has NO CAST TIME. Only pistol skills, bladesong and bladecall have cast time, moreover pistol 4 can give phantasmal haste that makes this combo insane. With Virtuoso 3-2-3 (bleed stacks) after this combo you are fully stacked usually for second harmony. Very fun playstyle.
Really insane gameplay!
Trying this out right now I was using great sword and sword pistol, survivability was a slight problem , thanks for the videos you’re def a go to for pvp , I might start making my own beginner videos I’m a avid pvper from ESO played gw2 for a year six years ago and just came back a couple months ago, gw2 is a severely underrated game in my opinion keep bringing attention to it ❤️
Is Cyrodiil still a lag-feast?
@@izitest2785 dude it’s worse than ever , and so many bugs they don’t fix the devs are a joke
what do u think of using scepter with this build? i’ve run something simler and the auto helps stock a couple of blades in team fights when i’m not being focused and the 2 almost fully stocks when i am. it still doesn’t make the build great in team fights but helps imo
I find that the thousand cuts elite skill has to be timed right , easier to land in team fighting rather than 1v1 especially if it’s against a competent player , I find the timing best when using a stun After casting the ult , I use the staff or pistol stun , I cast the elite skill when the player is coming towards me pressuring me , directly in front of me , I will elite > staff five , staff > staff 2 > blade song and continue with whatever combo. I also will kite back into my thousand cuts alot of players will follow me right back into it then I’ll try to knock them back into it or some cc or daze. You probably already know this but for anyone newer to it watching. I made two really good virtuoso builds also I’m thinking bout creating some content and how to videos for pvp I came back to gw2 from elder scrolls online and I’d like to get alot of people playing guild wars 2 I think it’s the most slept on underrated mmo around. The combat is very similar to ESO which has said to have the best action combat but the game doesn’t work as intended especially in pvp (ESO) I might even make a comparison video and link some eso friends. All this hype about elden ring and new world and I feel like guild wars two has it all and is better than any other mmo especially for pvp.
any tips on switching from im-in-a-fight-thinking to conquest-thinking? like i feel after a fight it takes me a little while to figure out where to go lol
Cool waiting for mech
this is interesting val, im on the condi side of virtuoso tho..... is condi virtuoso viable enough?
I have been playing around with a very similar build but using chaos (2/1/3) instead of inspiration because inspiration feels kind of low impact? I was optimizing for WvW roaming though and will try it with Diviner gear as soon as I can craft everything. Your trait selection is interesting though, i like the idea of using signet of midnight as main condition cleanse and the restorative illusion trait looks very strong. The main problem would be maintaining fury - but that might be less important if you make sure to use F1 right after blocking an attack
I'm currently playing around with a similar build, but I use scepter/pistol instead of staff and mantras instead of signets. Blade generation is still good, burst potential is very high if done correctly but you do die a lot quicker, especially if you're outnumbered. Maybe I'll try this build instead.
Is the dagger any good/viable for pvp?
Kinda hoped to finally get a reason to not use sword and stay mainly ranged as mesmer.
if ur going condi virtuoso dagger is core, then u choose with either pistol or torch
Any shot of a virtuoso solo roamer wvw build?
i run similar build with dagger/sword and scepter/pistol can stay range and have blocks on both sets
Staff is my favorite Mesmer weapon. So many builds use Gsword instead. I only have Gsword on a Mirage build.
All the pof elite specs seem better than the eod ones, the needing to face the target to use blades seems very bad in active combat.
whats the tech for staff2 porting forward? Ive tried to look it up but no result. Thanks for the vid
I would assume u detarget and aboutface while holding left click
Keybind your about face button
even better with the moa elite now
I am running something similar for wvw and I was getting some crazy burst. I opted for dagger/sword instead of staff.
You mind sharing your build? I’m trying to make this in wvw and was thinking sword/sword and dagger/pistol cuz I hate staff, even though it’s “op” Mesmer weapon
Could you do a WvW roaming build on this class
How do you make it so that enemy player health bars are larger than normal?
in general options look for "thick health bars"
Did they revert Reversion not being on Virtuoso ?, ive done your build and mine has Reversion, lol.... ive thinking i have to be doing something wrong....
Pretty cool build, although somewhat heavy towards survivability instead of damage. I recently picked up mesmer and this build is cool but it could be optimized for sure.
Wanna share your thoughts on optimizing the build?
Is this just a build using the Mesmer EoD specialization, or a build that one should actually use over other viable Mesmer builds? As it seems the first is true, the second is not.
virtuoso isn't amazing right now, maybe one of the weaker, if you care only about playing old specs after an expansion dropped then thats your choice
i tried to make scepter/sword + staff node capper with the block traits, but even going full vita/toughness I was so squishy xD
Vindicator next, pls! :)
Do you think that there will be a place in WvW zergs for Virtuoso? Having a hard time coming up with a power build for my squad?
I have been playing Virtuoso in zergs in beta and when EoD released on full berserker gears and I can safely say it's doing good, your bladesongs pierce and can remove boons at 1200 range so you're providing something useful for the squad. You're sacrificing your well of gravity (Chronomancer) but you're fully ranged and can burst tons of damage into a choke with that virtuoso elite. I don't think it'll become META but it's a decent option in my opinion.
No. Mirage Greatsword is best for power mes dps in WVW because of Split Surge which is easily accessible with the right sigils/traits (enabled by dodge or every time a signet is used). You'll also find that the extra shadowsteps from the elite come in handy to stay on tag when lagging behind and that the sword ambush is clutch when you need to run away in combat. Outside of the elite which has a long cooldown and easily avoidable, Virtuoso doesn't offer anything in WVW or big group fights (actually net negative in terms of marginal cost).
the facing target thing means it's probably best to use with action cam
You are right, technically you need to face them only in the begining of the cast
ya i didn’t even know the whole facing was a thing until just now 😅
Does this build works on pve?
The bladesong's animation is too long that sometimes the blades got blocked by terrain. We need to play smarter when using virtuoso because of this. But this provides more challanges when playing it. Using infinite forge grandmaster trait might be better for playing shatter heavy virtuoso, but unblockable blades are too tempting to pass up lol
yes im struggling with that decision too
Hi Vallun, can u play with condi virtuos please i need build 🙈👌
Specter gameplay please :))
Specter next, pretty please? ^^
maybe soon, still havent found the exact build i want to play
been watching alot of your video/builds. the videos never match the builds, usually different weapons/skills etc. kinda sucks when your a new player trying to learn, just fyi... like your stuff tho
Virtuoso looks whack imo glad i stopped maining mes ages ago
Showing these builds in unranked matches is pointless.
when end of dragons launched there were no ranked matches, it was all unranked
power staff is a meme
most annoying class
Not gonna lie, the spec is poop in competitive
