The Virtuoso uses the power of their mind to destroy their enemies. They differ greatly from core Mesmer and some other expansion elite specs, but they make up for it in ease of use, great damage, and good sustain.
While the Mesmer is normally known for illusions, clones, and deception, this is not the case with the Virtuoso - this Canthan battle mage trades tricks for pure offensive power. The Virtuoso gains access to daggers, Psionic skills (high damage utility skills), and replaces Shatter with Bladesong - which consumes your stacks of stocked blades to either deal big damage or afflict a target with multiple conditions.
The Virtuoso is much simpler to play than the core Mesmer - there is no need to constantly micromanage clones and illusions, although your lack of clones leaves you more vulnerable to attacks. This class handles this by either outright obliterating enemies or by certain gear and trait choices that give them some fantastic sustain.
Overall, the Virtuoso is an incredibly fun profession to play. It has a much simpler rotation than other Mesmer builds but is capable of some heavy-duty damage.
The picture above shows you the best traits to pick for Virtuoso (in the open world). We'll be taking Illusions, Dueling, and of course the Virtuoso trait line itself. The image is a handy reference for you to follow, but if you want to understand these traits a bit better then please read on, as we'll break down the build and tell you how it all works.
