Hey guys here is a video of me attempting condi shatter. It is a vastly different play style than power shatter and takes some getting used to, I’m still not used to it and I could be playing a lot lot better. I think MtD could fill a pretty good niche really, I have found it to be very good in 1v1s, very good vs the cele meta, amazing in havoc groups and only really bad against players with tons of single target burst and or players that can kite shatters well and keep up ranged pressure. All and all I think it is a nice change of pace and definitely has a place somewhere. At the moment I definitely prefer power shatter, and I sincerely think its ‘better’ in most situations, but in the moments that MtD shines, it really, really shines.

Take a look!

edit: I am running 06026 (when I have mantras) and 04406 in this video. I think the 06026 is much more well rounded. Full rabid, ascended rabid trinkets with condi food. Sigils were doom/energy and blood/energy

cool vid
i like it too in small group fights
i am using 0,4,2,2,6 and DD trait at start bit pressing my enemy with condi if my clones dies and then i push them with shatter and finish them

the main difference from shatter power is that you have to bait your enemy and w8 for them to cleanse and hit your #2 scepter

i also prefer the torch for more confusion stacking

yeah torch is hella nice, I just <3 magic bullet lol. Yeah its just a weird thing to get used to, im so trigger happy from playing zerk shatter so long so I try NOT to shatter and then I end up missing perfect moments to shatter… if that makes any sense at all.

man re watching all the clips I recorded I seen tons of times I should’ve shattered. It’s a weird mind set playing a condition build and actually being able to use your shatters for something, half the time I would forget I actually had MtD xD

IMO you’re not shattering enough to call this a shatter build, and your perplexity runes are still pulling a lot of the weight of your damage in your open world WvW 1vX.

I’d like to see this in a small group fight, like a 5v5 or a 3v3 and without perplexity runes before I pass judgement on MtD. I saw some big stacks of torment in your video, but i think you could push it farther.

For sure on the shattering, its hard to get in your head when you are running conditions that you can actually shatter and it be useful, previously when running condi I was used to just spamming staff clones and landing scepter blocks ya know?

Just to kinda show the potential of condi shatter, in spvp I am able to maintain about 16 stacks of torment on someone almost permanently and in wvws its around 25 lol.

Anyway, to the OP: I still think these people are too easy and that you need a real fight
