On my full Turret build (P/P, Cleric armor with Carrion trinkets, both the new GM Turret traits, Accelerant-Packed Turrets), I’ve recently switched from using Traveler’s Runes to Runes of Altruism – a decrease in speed and duration in exchange for more stacks of might and fury on a 20/15-second cooldown.
I run melandru/lemongrass + Stabilizing armor + Protection Injection =
-53% damage while stunned + -25% stun duration, -65% condition duration
With the exception of the occasional long duration condition, I can ignore conditions and stuns with this build. Still leaving me Healing mist when I feel I need to break the stun, Transmute to occasionally turn one of the conditions to a boon, 2 condition removals with healing turret, and Super elixir for more condition removal.
Combines with a full celestial set, I can jump into any profession and shrug off all of their CC, be it stuns or condi CC, shrug off their condition damage, and just pound them with bombs, pistol attacks, and CC them myself.
This makes me very well rounded in all areas and, gives me very solid damage, and shocks the hammer guardians/warriors as they lose all their CC value, while cutting all the perplexity/condi engineers and necr0s damage completely in half before I even touch a condition removal.
Travelers on my celestial set, eagle on my PVT, Water on the cleric set, Noble on the dire and Perplexity on the rabid set. Might change the perplexity set for a set of krait runes. The extra bleed duration + the poison, bleed and torment on elite use has been rather nice on the condi mesmer and ranger.
