Permeating Wrath + Dragonhunter?
It’s the only solution for a glassy condi build.
We cannot currently use Permeating Wrath because doing so will sacrifice large amounts of sustains and that’s very much needed if you’re going to be in constant melee combat.
If Permeating Wrath is changed, we’ll feel more comfortable with sacrificing traits now that we have a reasonable range weapon for it.
Pros
- You could have a perma burn uptime of 2-4 stacks in as little as 3 seconds. Depending entirely on fire/air sigils to further increase F1 proc rates, increase burn duration from Bal runes. and whether or not you actually hit 5 people continuously.
- You’ll provide condi coverage through perma burns if there’s 3 or more people. Not to mention cc items like cripple and your #5 immobilize skill.
Cons
Like any condi build, you’re highly susceptible to cleanses. There’s still a chance that you could do little to no damage.
- Little support in comparison to hammer’s warding, absolute resolution, SYG for your team, etc. The build will likely always be within a 900-1200 radius, no different than a hunter or Staff ele. That means you can’t get to your downed allies quickly unless you trait for Merciful Intervention.
- Will it even be worth it compared to Rangers and Staff ele’s damage output? The damage is definitely not going to be as reliable that’s for sure.
The spec may not be viable at all given the meta but it’ll still be very fun :P

Been using that for ages, procs a burn every attack with staff in a zerg fight, so it’s good for tagging everyone that is on the flanks and behind your staff cone. I call it the flaming loot stick then.
