Guild Wars 2

Is that a thing? Which classes have viable condition builds?

From my understanding, higher level fractal bosses have a ton of health/toughness. Does that make condi builds more viable there?

I use a condi berserker warrior, very good in higher lvl fractals imo.

Condi-builds were already viable. All that the new thoughness scaling does is making berserker builds unviable.

But which classes can output decent damage with condi builds? I know Engis can. Anyone else?

I’m playing Revenant atm, was wondering if they can do well with a condi build in fractals/dungeons too…

Just looking at dmg:
Engi
Ranger
Guard/ele
War
not sure, but necro and the rest I guess

Mesmer is a strange one, it can sometimes be really strong, but it depend on the mob, and not on you.

Look up, Nike on youtube for info on builds

Almost any class can. Thieves are the only ones I’ve found that aren’t super effective with condition builds. Reapers are very good at maintaining 5K burns, 25 might and 25 vuln, as well as having a ton of hard and soft ccs.

Revenant is good at maintaining decent torment levels area wide, but their condi damage doesn’t get very high. It used to be based around inflicting tons of conditions on yourself and then spreading them to foes, but that was taken out without substituting the trait mechanics so mallyx is left feeling… Incomplete.

Any class that focuses on burns is completely viable as condi dmg. Any class that focuses on bleeds is not.

That’s… debatable.

It’s not debatable, it’s math.

Math I can do. What DPS value a class has to reach to become “viable”, and over what period of time.
