Guild Wars 2

Am i the only one that uses these bad boys. I use to run lyssa but these are my new favs

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there were mesmers who used Krait. Ive not seen anyone say they’re using them for a long time.

Looking at Krait it just doesn’t seem worth it for mesmer. Our shortest elite cd is 90’s. You could take another rune set for more/better effects, and add the effects the krait runes provide in other areas.

Well i have a bleeding build so the bleed on hit and duration helps i use the elite to either intiate or to warch for wen they remove my condis, ill pop ita to reapply its really fun

I see the appeal. Bleeds can come easy for Mesmers with a lot of precision. And most viable builds should have 40%+ critical chance so… The elite skill is nice.

I’m using Nightmare runes for my condition spec and I love it. Let me know how the Krait works out.

jst tried them bunch. they work amazing. ony class its meh agaisnt is necro. I run pistol off hand and staff so when i go invis, they get torment bleed poison, then i use duelist and warlock and with bleed on crits for illusions…. it wrecks. not to mention the confusion some of them take from swinging wrecklessly at clones.but its a perfect combo, it has poison which is good for reducing healing and torment when either they stand still or take lots of dog along with bleed. only thing i dont know is the radius of it. il test it tomorrow to find out

They look great in theory, but they’re only good so long as you’re running with teammates who can give you swiftness. Otherwise, you remain slow as kitten and suffer the same drawbacks of all roaming condition mesmers.

As of right now i mainly play pvp ik condi mes has mobility problems in wvw if i did wvw id use blink/focus dor mobility mostlikely

Also moa is a death sentence even more with krait

I run them as well with my PvP bleed build. I use focus, so mobility isn’t a problem, and moa. The AoE triple condi is great in facing multiple opponents as well, along with having the best bleed duration increase of all the new runes[I think]. The whole rune set works better for me, really. The #6 is more like a finisher move than something I want to spam every other second.

Well like i said i use it for engages im not use to it cause i use to rune lyssa for escape: condi removal. I use a bunkerish non pu build in pvp and since fhey want objectives they will usually grt hit by the triple condi. Love the new runes.

for bleeding fans they are very good and cheap right now. having fun with them on a bleeding ranger. thanks for all the tips so far on what to use these on for a mes

yea sb ranger would own with these, pop rampage as one when your near the enemy and unload the autos

Neat

Sword 3 → Mass Invis → Swap combo is still working, just tested: it will allow you to use the (6) bonus every 30s and as swap will teleport you near your foe, you will almost always hit your foes with the condis.
