Condition builds in PvE!
to bad lupi is so minion-unfriendly, i’d like to see a condi mesmer lupi
Far from perfect rotations due to waking up 15 minutes ago but managed to get 2:11 on engi.
I will see if I can post one with my thief later this day
Assassin is still more stylish ;_;
No Giver’s staff on your Mesmer? FAILLLLLLLLLLL.
Warrior build doesn’t need Burst Master, you could change to banner cool down for 100% Banner of Strength uptime. Would also suggest Giver’s Longbow with Agony sigil to give max burning uptime so you can camp sword harder.
I guess you mean smoldering.
I haven’t tried it but I prefer corruption/battle or corruption/energy dependent on how dodge-intensive the fight is.
If all you do is setpiece times boss solos corruption is good. If you just want to solo dungeons its beyond pointless.
“Beyond pointless” he says without offering any sort of explanation so as to why.
It’s pointless for the same reason nobody uses Bloodlust sigils for any other purpose than timed boss solos. I didn’t think that needed to be explained really.
… Lots of people use bloodlust. Its fantastic if you can get up lots of stacks early on.
For the sake of this champ solo it may not be worth it as you only have 6 or 7 enemies beforehand that you can build stacks on. And 70 condi damage probably wont add as much as other options.
Actually, there is a way to stack 25 for the champ solo. I just was too lazy to do it. Anyways, no better engi times? How about necro, weren’t they the kings of condi builds?

I’ll try to get a better engi time when I get home. And might try to get something decent for ranger.
With the change made to how the venom work, do you think it woulr be efficient to bring a venomshare thief to dungeon runs? it can make a great condi burst
Conditions will never be good in PvE group content until Anet completely revamps them. When one single person can stack every damaging condition to their max caps there’s no reason to bring them because secondary procs on 4 others hamper the condi persons dps greatly.
Also direct damage burst is always faster way to kill things compared to condis. Not to talk about the fact that direct damage will never have max cap whereas condis are limited to certain stacks.
a condi thief can stack up close to max stack bleeding, posion, torment+vuln with some cooldown, and he can apply burning through eles fire field – projectile finisher, and burning might be the only one that is often replaced by guardians low condi dmg burning.
What i asked is bringing one condi thief, and no more condi specs. Conditions applied by venoms scale from the thief’s condition dmg.
A berserker engi can stack up close to 25 bleeds, poison, burning, vuln, and a few other covering conditions, and their direct damage dps is superior. Condis are still inferior in group settings.
… Lots of people use bloodlust. Its fantastic if you can get up lots of stacks early on.
List the dungeons where you get 18+ stacks early on and you never have to swap weapons.
Well i tried again and got 1:59 on engi and 2:42 on ranger.
