Hey all,

I’m looking to fill the condition dps role in the upcoming raids, so which professions can dish out the highest damaging conditions?

I’m currently charging quartz for my sinister gear, and I really don’t want to waste it on a sub-optimal profession. I’ve never really messed around with conditions in pve (though I’m excited that they have a niche role now) so I could really use some advice.

Thanks!

Well, I would hope your build Ascended Gear, so it can be Account-Bound and you don’t have to fret about not making it for the right class.

That being said, your going to want to find a class that has:

1.) Stable/Consistent
2.) High Stacking
3.) High Condi Co-efficiency
4.) You can play it well in a whole host of situations.

I’m not sure why people are being sarcastic. OP just look up condi engineers, here are 2 links.

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Engineer_-_Condition_Grenadier

Condition engineer is #1 dps in the game right now and unless burning gets nerfed, they will be your best bet. Note, their dps rotations are amongst the most complex in the game so practice lots on golems.

Alternatives:

  • A/T Ranger (also on meta battle)
  • Venomshare Thief (needs a chronomancer to be on par with a ranger)
  • Burn Guardian (although upto 50% of their damage is power based)

Condi engineer dps is much higher than all of the above and A/T ranger might struggle with moving targets (which HoT bosses may well be).
