As for sPvP.. nothing FB offers can compete with VoJ. Not even close. Virtues/Med/Radiance or Zeal is much better than any condi build possible with FB in sPvP, at least as far as the stress test goes. We do not know what will happen on release.

I will say that it’ll simply be FB > DH > Core in the end.

• Core – be it power or Burn burst, performs worse than the two elites because it lacks Sustains and overall Stability in clutch situations.
• DH and FB – it’s a bit too soon to see build effectiveness in competitive PvP but FB has the potential to deal higher team-wide bursts, higher effectiveness in team fight amongst allies, and sustaining itself the same if not better.

It’ll be curious how well each and every profession will utilize these Core, DH and FB builds.

You have to test core condi guardian lately. 2k voj aoe procs plus the improved torch 4 are deadly.

The build has higher bursts per usual but again, it doesn’t sustain longer than burn DH. Cleanse on block performs better vs Condi Thieves, Necro’s, other burn Guards. The cover conditions means your 5stack auto burns won’t get cleansed, yielding a higher dps threshold throughout a 1v1 fight.

Core Guard hasn’t gotten a buff since F1 received 4s burn durations. It’s the same exact build.
