Hybrid vs Pure Condition ?
Help me please. Need a suggestion
Both are proven builds and are good in their own ways, hard to say one is better than the other.
Just choose one and have fun.
It largely depends on what classes/builds you are fighting against.
The hybrid spec will do more damage to players with lower toughness and/or more condition removal. The blackwater spec will do more damage to players with higher toughness and/or less condition removal.
The blackwater build also has higher survivability due to multiple stealths (along with the defensive boons while stealthed), blocks, tougness, etc.
The blackwater build will also perform slightly better against multiple opponents due to clones applying conditions on death and WoC bouncing. However this is significantly more dependent upon your own personal skill rather than the spec.
My recommendation would be the blackwater build, but the hybrid spec will also work just as well in different situations.

Hybrid, not phantasm build. Doesn’t come with all the blackwater shortcomings.

If you cant pick I would choose based on the weapons you prefer to play with. I mean if you want to stick at range you would probably want to use GS rather than a torch.
