Q:

Hey there …

i am running the nice staff | torch/scepter build with condition dmg:

When i use the staff with 10% condition duration i can get the burning to 2sec … i really dont know if 2 ticks burning or the 179 more condigtion dmg is better ?

If some one has a nice condition wvw zerg build … pls give me a hint =)

I made a 100% burn build the other day. I call it the Grilled Cheese build (its a cheesy build).

For a zerg I’d try and get the extra bounce in. You’re only going to be spamming staff clones (for burns), so post patch you could drop clone on dodge and just work the staff cooldown + illusions trait minor.

Funnily enough the build is very powerful against anything that’s not regen heavy (current warrior meta for example). But it’ll always suffer the massive drawbacks of a staff.

For extra cheese, sup rune of guardian + mimic.

You only need 1 and 3/4 seconds of burn to get 2 ticks.

…huh

6th rune of the guardian is 1s burn on block. Mimic blocks attacks after the first projectile is stopped.

I tested using guardian runes in pvp with a 20/20/30 condi build but it didn’t feel worthwhile over undead or nightmare.

Just watched the video, was mimic blocking melee attacks?

Yes. It does that. Check the wiki on it.
