Vid Walkthrough Continued
The beginning Spvp portion is mainly focused on my condition tick damage and techniques used. Its why i’ve recorded some boring, below average, aspects in the beginning. Even mediocre play like getting my Zealot’s #3 and Torch #4 reflected back on me :P

Notable rotations: Weapon switched the Guard and downed thief. Followed through on guard with Flashing Blade + Torch #4 for an instant proc.

The few people in the beginning video are below average with the exception of one or two. This is usually how most of the population in spvp/tpvp have been, lately.

Slowed down certain parts to emphasize my condi damage, as well as strategy, as seen in the first portion and end portion of the video. First portion shows me blocking numerous attacks, giving me a Might stack of 14, pushing my Burn damage to 1k ticks.

Against the Elementalists; my strategy is working around their Water cleansing attunements, blocking many hit skills for burns and might stacks, and keeping distance when i can. After Water Attunement I usually pop Rune of Krait and follow up with a condi burst.
Cooldowns willing.

this is why i like gs in pvp as the aoe pressure on point is better then the sword torch while also you got nice pull abilities or another 4k dmg with chain
on 1v1 sword is better

Rightly so. The only time sw/torch could remotely come close to GS is if Torch #4 actually hits multiple targets… which is rare. In the video the Guardian was very close to torch’s initial proc but it still didn’t hit.

Even then there’s simply no comparison to a GS aoe damage and cleaving abilities.
