Looks or person choice? You could run a condition build in any game mode it just wouldn’t be optimal.

Cele is not so good, rabid is much nicer. I’ve run p/p with rabid/dire in wvw and rabid p/p in pvp. It’s our offensive condi weapon set, and it puts out huge condition pressure. Runes of balthazar are a popular choice.

Sadly it’s sub optimal even as far as condition builds. Most Engi Condition builds, especially for spvp/wuv go P/S for all the goodness of Engi Shield (reflect, aoe knockback, block, stun and daze, all in two skills slots!) Both OH Pistol attacks are easy to whiff in a 1v1 (Even after Glue shot’s projectile speed buff) and while Blowtorch might become better once burning stacks, right now Incendiary Powder gives you about the same amount of burn uptime without having to land a hit at less that 200 range.

…and as choovanski mentioned, Cele is good, but Rabid is better. If you can afford it, get Perplexity runes as well for wuv roaming, and take joy as roaming thieves used to being effectively unkillable kill themselves with confusion.

With the apparent changes to confusion from the videos we’ve seen, this will be less effective. The bulk of confusion damage seems to be a DoT effect with bonus damage when skills are used.
