Guild Wars 2

Don’t mind me. I was just really bored and decided to mess with the editor. Amplified Wrath will be better than Kindled Zeal, but since its not here yet, I wanted to see big numbers.

CondiD is 4013. AW would be doing 1641 per tick

Edited because I did something wrong way back when. 4k is impressive, but the build would be a bit unweildly. If you can afford some way to add some extra damaging conditions, things could get scary.

What game mode is this for?

Regardless, you have to get rid of the signets. A full rack of signets is a terrible choice for anything. You’re massively lacking in meaningful survivability and utility. You have a stunbreak but no stability. You have no condition removal aside from the 1/sec off your signet. You have no gap closer. I can only assume you’re soloing since you haven’t brought any kind of party boons.

I’d hold off on building for condition damage until after the patch hits and we see what other tweaks we get to our traits that may make it more viable beyond the new ones we’re getting.

I didn’t intend to run this at all. I alluded to being bored and wanting to see big numbers. It’s mostly an exercise in seeing potential, even if the potential is unrealistic.

If I absolutely had to use it, I’d probably run it in wvw. Pvp only restrictions hurt to much, and it won’t do enough dps to adequately compete with meta builds. Wvw is where it would hurt the most, but it is only single target burning, and not really intended for roaming. Bit like I said, it’s more potential options than anything. 3880 (?) Condition damage is impressive, but would take more effort than its worth to really run. As per your guide, if o really wanted to run a condition build, I’d go towards permeating wrath, which is what I do run in PvP.

Gotcha. Yeah, that’s probably wise. I am tentatively hoping that Tuesday brings more than just Amplifying Wrath and whatever the other one is in terms of condition damage tweaks. Even if all we get is Amp, I have some workable if subpar compared to direct damage ideas for condi hybrids that I’ll be posting.

I actually was messing around to see what I could do with radiant retaliation, and of course depending on scaling, it could be nasty. Would be running around with retal, burns, bleeds, torment, poison and plenty of blinds and vuln to continue the pressure. I can’t wait for the patch. Patch days are like Christmas to me.

The problem is that it’d still only be good for PvP/WvW, and then only good against sustain builds that hit you a lot for not much damage. It’s still basically worthless as a burst counter, since you’re going down in just a few hits anyway.

Yeah, radiant retal seems like it was designed for a new condition bunker spec that we should apparenly be able to use. Something like settlers, but then you’re doing even less damage than a cleric bunker, with likely not better sustain.

Your Burn damage is 950 x second.
My war can do better whit a Sw/Sw build in exotic equipment. And whitout foods.

Guardian can do condition damage, but can’t be a condition damage dealer class.
Only one condition damage can’t make you a condition damage dealer.
