i wanted to create hybrid build which some consider weaken. but can yield high Sdps.
it can be used for wvw group fight small or big (take feedback or null field) and also roaming alone

so here is 2 examples
the first:

this build at start seem weak but when the fight goes above 20 seconds you can reach 20 stacks of might by switching weapon sets, interrupt, and healing skill easily while stealth with PU trait and almost 2.7k armor is your defenses so your power can reach 3.6k with 50% crit chance and 94% crit dmg along side with 1.4k condition dmg

second one bit more aggressive as your condition dmg and spike dmg with shatter goes bit higher on account of toughness

its theory craft build and havent tested yet

your contribute comment pls

Sigil of battle and strength don’t stack so drop the strength.
I would recommend sigil of perception as a replacement for the first build since your crit chance is pretty low compared to your crit damage and the precision helps with both sides of the hybrid.

Since conditions are pretty big in the meta right now, you might want to try runes of hoelbrak and keep some back up poultry or lemongrass soup in your inventory. I’ve found the -56/60% condition duration outweighs a bit of extra power. Even if you don’t change the runes, still keep the food around. Otherwise you have zero condition defense.

Speed is also a problem but if you are willing to swap to focus out of combat or even keep it for the aoe interrupt, that should be ok.

So technical/generic wvw stuff aside, I think build 1 would be decent in small fights. Swapping to focus or gs with staff (more aoe interrupts) and using Chaotic interruption rather than PU would probably be better for big fights. Signet of inspiration rather than domination to share all those boons.

Veil does hardly anything for build 2 and I would use blink in it’s place. Same with signet of domination, you are better off using F3 with IP and you don’t have interrupt traits. Build 2 also doesn’t really look like it should be a condi build. The bonus confusion on shatters can be nice touch but I wouldn’t focus on it. Or in general, just because illusions gives 300 condi dmg, don’t consider it a condi line.

On swap and on crit sigils share internal cooldowns. When you swap, you now have locked out any on crit sigils for that swap cooldown. Alternatively, when you crit, you can’t swap during that cooldown otherwise you’ll get no swap benefit.

so after taking DuckDuckBOOM advices i made the gear and tested it
this is what i run with now for further testing

for solo roaming its very good build and even some states are even better than the regular shatter builds .
with full condition build which have about 1800 condition dmg u miss around 40 dps with bleeding but get higher dps with power so the mix is so far very good
till now 6-10 stacks of bleed with 4-5k mind rack and 5k blurred frenzy – so the pressure you put is high enough.

for group play you can do ok (as any other meser build right now) just taking feedback or null field and off hand focus for more support
