seems wierd that you say this will happen once in 50 times.. when ive actually played the spec and you have not. i understand the importance of condtion clear and when it would have saved me durring fights. if you were to use the spec you can put condi clear in it and play it in that style and i wouldnt make a once in 50 claim. ive played both ways and as for right now the stun works for me and im not getting punished that hard with condis. if i end up getting punished alot with condis i will put a cleanse in the place. at this point im not getting killed because of a lack of condi clear so the stun is a strong offesnive choice.
This is because you apparently aren’t playing against any competent condie players. The key is that condie builds are more tanky and survivable. They won’t crumple and die in your first little combo. They’ll pop a stunbreak, clear the bleeds, then go after you. The thing is that even with the bit of power from rampagers, your duelists still barely tickle, particularly to a tanky condie build. This means that your only pressure is bleeds (which are also weaker than normal).
Maybe if you can get them into a perfect lockdown it’ll hurt, but that’s nearly impossible to do. Signet is easy to dodge, magic bullet doesn’t last very long, and just up and casting confusing images is a great way to get your face pushed in with condies.
Now normally this wouldn’t be an issue. You’d hit a condie clear and continue applying pressure. With your build though, you’ll simply keel over and die when condies are applied. You have no way to remove them. Blinds will stay until you miss with something. Cripple and weakness will hamper your movement. Poison will hurt your healing, bleeds burning and torment will kill you.
I don’t need to play your build to know what will happen if you engage a competent player with no condition removal.
