Guild Wars 2

I’m currently theory crafting a build but I cant quite get the stats where I want them, it ether ends up lacking to much suitability or ends up lacking to much damage, if some one could help me find a good middle ground that would be nice.

For what I want from it the traits and the weapons are pretty much set in stone, but the stats on the gear and runes are up for debate, keep in mind it is a hybrid power and condition build and is pretty much a hidden fire kind of build.
I like the play style I just can’t get the damage and survival where I want it.

What kind of playstyle are you after?
In my opinion it looks like you are trying to be a master of everything and that leads to one thing – being a master of nothing.

Personally i find thr Scepter all around a better weapon then the sword, quick at dishing out clones for conditions on death.

I would also decide what you want to be “Best” at, sure you can have something as a secondary but trying to be “best” at power and conditions mean neither of them are “best” and are just average instead.

I personally run a Condition/stealth/Toughness build -20/0/30/20/0 using Rabid Gear, Undead runes and Earth, Corruptions on Scepter and Torch and Blood sigil on Staff. Mostly staying in S/T and switching to staff for some AoE(CS) and range maker and a few staff clones to bump up the conditions.

Taking Ether Feast, Decoy, Mirror Images, Feedback and Mass Invisibility

The point of this build is to run in and do a relatively effective shatter combo with the prestige and sword and mirror images, then to follow that with a roll or 2 and drop a cry of frustration, which stacks a lot of confusion and burning which will drop people like a rock, so is a shatter / condition build, I tried it with pretty much full zerker with great success but found it died to fast in group fights so i’m trying to work some defense into it which is were I’m running into problems. Because I eather end up going to far with the defense so I don’t have enough attack or not far enough and I might as well be full zerker.

If thats the case, have you thought about Greatsword, i think the Zerker will do more damage in a zerg then you TRYING to use Blurred Frenzy or you just wanting to get a few clones out?. The problem with that plan is GETTING into that zerg with all the slow down and the AoE about you as you say die fast.

Most zergs (if they are any good) wont have any problems out healing the damage done by low condition based damage conditions.

Confusion is a Meh condition, even with my condition damage it still is pretty poor. I would also take MORE damage and less time on conditions then less damage and more time

I never said zerg, Its a group roaming build rather then a zerg build or even solo, if I’m going to zerg I might as well use my glamour build. And believe me confusion is more effective then one might think. I’ve been playing with it a ton since the patch and it can certainly out do many conditions if you can get high enough stacks going, which is easily done with this build.

I have had it at 11 stacks using Scepter and Torch and its been meh, the issue is it just doesnt do the sort of damage that it requires from the skills to get it that high, i would take Torment over Confusion anyday.

Still think that the bleed on Crit + iZerker would outshine the tactic you like
