Been doing some WvW completely ignoring Condition Duration and stacking Condition Damage, it seems if I land Blowtorch and Rocket Kick followed by Poison Dart Volley most things begin to panic…Which leads me to my question, if the pressure is this high with 26% crit, would it not be even higher if I add some Rabid gear for Toughness and Precision? Has any one played this build with a full Rabid set? 18k HP Vs 24k HP / 9xx Power Vs 16xx Power / 1k Toughness Vs 17xx Toughness / 26% Crit Vs 49% Crit

There’s been a general moving away from condition duration lately because ppl have realized that their long conditions get cleansed anyway. And that you can get more damage by focusing on condition DAMAGE and quick reapplication of conditions. Its different for everybody but going down almost 700+ power will make your already weak burst nonexistent, all the skills you mentioned scale decently with power. So I would recommend to just start mixing in rabid gear until you find the balance that suits you. Generally 30-40% crit is good enough to trigger procs, especially when you’ll have a good uptime on fury from Elixer B
