wow nice gameplay there^^

would you mind sharing your build?

Really cool, I saw your game play many times, I always felt uncomfortable with the build because it will have such bad dps in PvE content compare to others.
But in a PvP situation where you don’t have to stand on a point, this build is so good at wearing your opponents out

I will probably never beat this set up unless I go the same ~.~

Lol that’s not what inb4 means… Nice video though

In before the patch sounds about right to me. Anyway thanks for the gameplay as always! Please keep making videos! He has links to his build in the youtube comments.

I added the buids used to the original post. I had to upload the vid three times and didn’t really have time to add builds and tracklist. done now!

keep in mind that these builds will have to be changed/won’t work like this after december 10th patch.
also, I sometimes change minor stuff depending on the fights I expect, like dropping hgh for protection on cc or automated response, or dropping cloaking device for stabilized armor, ip for bomb radius, etc

thanks for the comments, cheers!

Great vids, nice game play I use a very similar build apart from more condition based with dire armor and scavenger runes, a sometimes swap out toolkit for bombs when taking camps etc. and sometimes 2nd pistol for shield. If using bomb kit.

Thanks.
I still prefer carrion armor, I like having some power as well. I wish there was power/toughness/condition damage armor :p

to anyone wondering I’ve gone 20-10-10-30-0 after the patch.
exploit weakness is surprisingly good, still unsure if I’ll keep cloaking device or go protection on crit. guess I’ll change that depending on circumstances.

What about 20 0 20 30 0 it seems (correct me if I’m wrong) power shoes now gives a blanket 25% speed increase not just when in combat as previous. I know you will loose the -20% pistol skill recharge, but just after your thoughts.

nah, that wouldn’t work. in any build using conditions the ability to quickly reapply them is one of the keys to success. also. power shoes doesn’t make much of a difference in a build that already has plenty of access to swifness in combat.

lol this guy.

Pretty good vid Mask, since we play similar builds (albeit I rarely play anymore, I might once school is finished) I can’t help but notice certain things; let me throw them out there.

For one, it seems like you’re still using throw B on recharge. This is close to what I would do before, but ever since they updated it to give stability, it has become a much more powerful skill. Consider using it when the situation calls for it instead of on recharge.

It also kind of seemed like you were using throw S on recharge, but that’s just personal preference.

Try working on using S more quickly when using to stomp a sure stomp target (guard, ranger, engi, etc) when you’re 1vXing. I saw a few times where there was a mild hesitation and you took a lot of unnecessary damage. I have S binded to my wheel button for quick use. Just make sure you wait that half second or so after you begin stomping to use it, otherwise it runs out before you complete the stomp.

Consider using crate later in fights. A lot of the time you don’t need it, but there may come a time where a stun and some quick heals when nothing else is available can turn the tide.

Hope you’re enjoying the new patch, I haven’t played it at all yet. I’ll be looking forward to how you decide to change the build up.

I’m trying not to use toss B or S on recharge. Sometimes I do it tho. I will use toss B on recharge on heavy cc fights tho. as for toss S , I try to use it for a breather or easy stomp, or sometimes to stack it with cloaking device (10 seconds stealth is something funny).
On fights against heavy condition spam I use them everytime I have high damage conditions, chill/cripple or poison just before a heal. I try to avoid being overloaded with conditions, 409 isn’t fast enough to deal with that.
And I’ll surely spam all tosses when Im fighting near water, since they don’t share cooldowns :p

On stomps (my S is also bound to the mouse wheel) I wait for the hand to be up during the stomp animation befores using S. Using it too soon can still get you cc’d right before the animation ends. I prefer just blinding if it’s the last person to be stomped.

About crate, although I do try to use it later in a fight, there’s no real problem using it earlier, depends on the situations. I either do it for the heal or for the interrupt. The medpacks linger long enough to still be useful and the turrets now actually attack your target :p

I don’t think these were very good fights tho, I could have done much better, but I barely roamed solo. As you know the previous patch cycle made this build really strong with stealth and stability on demand. During the whole season I only lost duels twice, both against necros with double signet (plague, spite) , corrupt boon and dhuumfire and still I manged to beat them more than I lost by going elixir C instead of S and even AR instead of hgh.
Now the ip change toned it down again :p

I’ll try to record something with the new patch changes, but I won’t be as powerful ofc.
