Guild Wars 2

Hey all. I’m very tempted to build the Quip for the visual effects. I have everything needed, but I need help making the decision.

Are there any good condition builds for WvW that use pistols? I don’t play a lot of Mesmer and very few of the builds on these forums use pistols….seems like Scepter/Torch is what everyone uses.

Nevertheless, I’m thinking of using a version of this build with the Perplexity runes:

Thoughts? Thanks.

This is what I am running:

With runes of Perplexity. If I’m facing another condition class, I swap veil with arcane thievery. Or sometimes I’m using Sig of Dom for more interrupt (might +confusion) and condition damage. Depends on how aggressive you want to play.

Hi guys. I’m using basically the same build with few exceptions. The main one is gear. I cannot deny that the reason for me to go for berserker instead of rabid is because I cannot walk in WvW without a speed boost. Having ppl running away or being able to run when needed is core to WvW, I think. I really cannot understand how you guys can manage to roam in WvW without it.

Since focus is for me not an option I am left with centaur runes which have synergy with zerker gear. And this is why I’m a power/crit based Mesmer. Fairly successful tbh. Been using scepter/torch and sword/pistol though.

I just wanted to share my experience but mainly I wanted to ask how you can live without an “on demand”speed boost in WvW. Condi builds are fun with the new set of runes but dropping centaur for it isn’t viable for my play style. How do you deal with ppl running from you?

Feel free to have a look in my guide. The condition Cat 2.0 with pistol is amazing. Se dmg spike at 2:06 in first vid:

That’s amazing Osi, but what’s ur gear there? Runes? Isn’t lack of speed when running after an almost dead foe frustrating?

It’s in the link beneath his post:

I believe he runs Perplexity runes.

If you’re running with perplexity runes I’d expect Confusing Combatants and ethereal projectile combos from your Duelist (aka feedback and/or null field).

Here is another woth watch, Its about how to fight condition resistant classes with the Condition cat 2.0 build. First dight is a duel versus 2 legendary using Guardians.
