Here is the build as is

This could definitely use more tweaks and changes when HoT comes out and after some hotfixes. The aim is to chase down targets and to close distance between enemies easily which Veil/Decoy allows you to do as well as supporting the zerg. I like this build because it still has a very good emphasis on powershatter from the previous patch and has a flexible weapon selection to work with. PU not taken solely for DPS but more for closing gaps and escaping, while also supplying veil and Mass Invis to the commander.

Traveller over Strength?
Movement due to less stealth as torch is absent. Torch I don’t feel is very viable in focus parties any more and more so in condi-roamer, damage can be set up in a package with s/p + gs. Short boon uptime (PU) helps with Chaos Minor trait and also Dueling Minor as well Imagined Burden.

Furious Interruptions over Shattered Concentration?
When I interrupt I like to follow up with burst (we all do:P), ie. Pistol 5(fast phantasm before or after) < sw3->Leap >sw2. } *Note: May your interrupt hit you then have a successful ~15k burst on the target.

Imagined Burden?
Why not :P Might and Cripple, what more do you want on a gs.

Fencer’s Finesse over Blinding Dissipation?
Sword cooldown reduced making it more flexible. The ferocity is nice for proccing crits and can be used to find hiding thieves, slashing around and the Ff procs will tell you about their location. Also good burst potential with sw2 and very easy to stack.

Condi cleanse?
PU and chaos tree covers most of it. Focus is usually about taking out the target in one burst rotation.

All in all I find it a very well rounded build for myself and look forward to contribution from ya’ll

At the moment I am running with one thief which isn’t much support but it’s still helpful and fun as we are a dynamic duo.
