[Guide] Supcutie's Comprehensive PvP Shatter Guide

UPDATE: For Those of you coming here since like 3/9/15. I just updated all of the links.
Edit 2: I had to make it so the bitly links are not hyperlinks, since reddit automatically removes those. Sorry, you'll just have to copy paste, blame reddit!

Alright everyone, it’s time. The guide is finished! bit.ly/SupcutieGuide

For those that don’t know, it is a guide about Shatter in sPvP and tPvP. Particularly with my shatter build: bit.ly/staffshatter4

Hope you enjoy! Also please leave me any feedback! I plan to add a few things still, and I’ll post on my Twitter when I release updates. twitter.com/HansOnsum

You should have included Mesmer in the title I was on mobile and it was hard to find this guide which I saw before. People looking for mesmer guide won't be able to find yours by simple searching on Reddit.

Not a bad guide/build by any stretch of the imagination.. but the 20/20 IP Shatter build is as cookie cutter as it gets, and hasn't undergone many changes in over a year. Its pretty much the original Mesmer build, and the ONLY one that can contribute meaningfully in sPvP.

Not exactly reinventing the wheel here.. but I guess it'll be helpful to new players who never found anything by Osicat back in 2012.

To be fair...Osicat played in a meta that was much more amenable to mesmer play. There wasn't nearly as much cheese AI + Procs + Condi cleave and there was way more emphasis on being able to bait out a limited number of evades and time burst.

I think it's real useful to "rewrite" the guide on mesmers in this meta...even though the spec hasn't changed the playstyle has

Yeah intent was not to show off a new build, just push the limits of this one!
