Guild Wars 2

so after playing with condi shatter build and like it mainly in tpvp
and seeing from the power version of boons sharing it may be good to share stability, might protection regen and more
also several attempt to build some hybrid build for mesmer i came with 2 theory craft versions

the basics
carrion armor
you got low armor with condi dmg so no huge burst to down 100-1 in 2 sec so BE very careful
BUT
you got 2.3k power and 1.5k condi dmg with many boons on you alongside blind – hence hybrid
location location location – know where to stand where to shatter and where to share boons
dont try 1v1 although you can do it (with rabid much easier)

traveler runes
25% speed so you can move faster if no swiftness proc
15% boons duration
10% condi duration
with chaotic persistence and average of 6 boons you will have +30% boon duration and +25% condi duration

boons
might – 5-12 stacks constant
fury with staff clones preety much constant
vigor with carrion and fury 28% crit chance so about 50% up time
stability – with shatter no problem to have it
protection – almost constant
regen – with chaos armor almost constant

aggressive version

less sharing and supporting without inspiration line and more shattering

supportive version

more condi cleanse and more healing but no blind so be very careful

just play it in hotjoin atm and doing great. hope to post some tpvp video if i see it can hold

you can go rampager for more crit chance but 9k less hp and bit less condi dmg

would love to hear your thoughts

This is basically almost xerrex’s condi shatter build. Not saying you stole it or anything, just alot of us run this spec and tbh lately it feels weaker than the other builds. For example GS interrupt or shatter builds usually are better for those quick bursts. Specially in tpvp. I love this build don’t get me wrong. The issue i find with this build is against earth traited eles or diamond skin as a whole.

i dont claim any of my theory craft as my builds cause among 1000000 players and 5 trait line most ppl will come up with the same concept or as you said almost

yes power is good for quick burst – sure thing. but in theory the dmg is higher in hybrid but will come 3 sec later

with carrion and 2.2k power i dont have any problem with diamond ele as i manage to fast down their hp below 90% . with rabid its bit problem but doable

i want to compare the dmg of both builds

boon sharing with maraduer and carrion

maraduer
crit chance 79%
crit dmg 189%
might stack 10
base dmg 970
vulnerability 6%
total dmg 1700

carrion
crit chance 31%
crit dmg 152%
might stacks 10
base dmg 920
torment and confusion dmg for 1 sec 500
total dmg 1600

after 2 sec the carrion dmg is higher and goes more if skill where used

so what am i missing beside the fact the maraduer can burst and carrion need 1-3 sec

did this test with evey skill and combo and results are the same
