I am currently running:

Domination(10) : V
Dueling(25): II, X
Chaos(15): V
Inspiration(0)
Illusions(20): II, V

Runes: 6/6 Perplexity (when duration bug is fixed)
Sigils: Poison on Staff and Scepter, Corruption on Offhand(might change)
Stats: Rabid/Rampager’s

So when clones die they give Cripple, Confusion and a Random condition on death. Sharper Images for some Bleeding damage, Master of Misdirection for that little extra confusion duration(even if the trait is weak) Retaliation on using Cry of Frustration and combined with IR means 6stacks (iirc) of confusion as well as 15seconds of Retal

I was wondering, How good would Givers weapons be? They would only be on the Scepter+ Offhand This would give me:

Domination 10% Condition Duration, 40% Food Condition Duration, 20% Weapons Condition Duration Combined onto that for Confusion would be the 33% Confusion trait and the 30% Rune bonus (when they are fixed) So i would be seeing 70% Condition duration and 133% Confusion duration

Now i know it doesn’t go past 100% so that would mean i could change the 30% trait and would go for a few options such as Extra Bounce, Confuse on Blind or i could even put the 10 points from Illusions elsewhere

If you want the extra 10 points, heck yeah Giver’s weapons are great. I use them on a condition build. They give an extra 20% condition duration (!!!) if you use MH/OH on both weapon sets. It’s much more useful than master of misdirection. You’d get 20% condition duration versus 33% just confusion duration. You lose the 3rd stat of course in favor of the condi-duration but you can easily make it up with other gear. The weapons are a bit expensive but worth it.

Yeah i was thinking if i ditch the 33% confusion duration and 100Condition damage (not like its alot anyway) i could put them 10 points to better use. the 15point trait isnt anything that great so i dont mind about losing that. I could even put them into Dom and get 80% Condition Duration.

Possible traits:

Domination: Confusing Enhancements, Cleansing Conflagration
Dueling: Duelists Discipline
Chaos: Chaotic Dampening
Inspiration: None
Illusions: Blinding Befuddlement illusionary Elasticity

I could go into both Chaos and Dueling for Master and Grandmatser traits.

If you’re playing staff and torch, I would consider Cleansing Conflagration and Chaotic Dampening mandatory (especially for condition builds and since you don’t have IC), but that’s just me. If you’re playing pistol, duelist’s discipline would be nice.

Looks like you have your sigils locked in, but another thing to consider are the new sigils of bursting and malice. I’m pretty sure they stack together. You could get the major variants which give an extra 5% condition duration per weapon.

If i went with the Givers weapons i dont think i would need the extra condition duration 70% condition duration 80% if i went into Dom i dont think anything higher is needed, iirc they proc extra tick at 80%

To get CD and CC i would have to find another 5points which i odnt think i could do
