Dolores show me a video of you as a condition ele doing efficiently with burning and bleeding without perplexity runes. These 2 conditions aren’t as intimidating to cause any major win against good players. Executing dodges , using all cleanse and stability will not necessarily do just fine against condition perpl based players. It is the conjunction between the 4th and 6th proc to keep spamming confusion that makes this rune cheesy. It is not only the 6th proc or only the 4th proc individually.
It is not such a hype, confusion is scary because like I said it acts as both offense and defense if it is not cleansed right away. The fact that bunker eles can outlast their enemies’ cleanse has everything to do with perplexity. It is comparing the low cds between these 2 procs and having condition removals utilities/weapon skills to be a much higher cds from your opponent.
I’ve been flirting with condi ele since apothecary gear came out and I can say its completly possible to do it without perplexity runes, as I’ve repeated many times in this thread, perplexity helps as a cover condition should, but it’s not our main damage source, it is also the best rune we’ve access to atm. Anyway, yes there is a hype about confusion that makes some players panic and blow all their cleanse, it’s similar to what people do when they’re hit by necro’s signet of spite. I’ve been in fights which my enemy took no/little damage from confusion, because they knew how to deal with it.
I think Ozii already said everything that needed to be said about the term “spam”.
Perhaps I was wrong when I said WILL be just fine, it is more likely you SHOULD be fine, but yeah this is a somewhat balanced game so obviously there is nothing that will necessarily grant you a win, this applies to anything, not just perplexity.
Bunker eles are bunker eles, they’re built to fight until the opponent is weak, so whatever runeset they’re using will trigger more times during a fight, is a bunker ele with runes of anything triggering his 4th and 6th effect until his opponent has no defense being cheesy? Then almost anything you can run as bunker is cheese. Is killing a bunker ele super hard? If you asked the MAJORITY of the players a few years ago they’d not only say yes but call it cheap. Was it really this bad? No, people just didn’t knew how to deal with it.
