the latest build i am using in wvw/pvp
suitable for roaming and group play
i have checked and havent seen this setup and if i missed sry in advance

build:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgEQNAW7anUEVQbRNi0wWbEx0jgD5AOUKuusrkCc7CB-jECBINCy0CwUHQkIA5QFRjtsuIasqbY6YER1SBAzyK-w

this build regenerate mass of clones and phantasms with shortest icd on skills.
phase retreat every 6-7 seconds is life saver
iwarlock hit hard even in condi spec
iduelist can do 6-8 bleeding stack every 16 seconds (combine with signet of the ether even much more)
icounter with 8-9 seconds cd so every weapon swap its ready for you
between 3-13 stacks of confusion (as you got 3 interrupts skills)
torment alone which can do 14k dmg
also almost every condition is available (beside fear and immobilize)

with massive condition power 2.4-2.5k (in wvw) and 50% condition duration you can create conditions burst which hurts a lot

in pvp i take 2 sigils of battle for might stack

sc/p is the best condition spec i think with 10-15 bleed stack from i duelist*2 combine with torment and poison and you got yourself a winner
staff although use as defense tool can hurt a lot just by using AA and clones with burning (1k dmg) and can stack 5 perma bleeding

for more condition cleanse you can take cleansing inscription for 2 more conditions cleanse

i like signet of domination as it gives me more condition power even if i have above 2k but also stun key moments when needed. you can switch to blink if you want more stun break , or veil for group play.
you can take chaotic interruption also instead of pu trait for more control and cc moves

you can face any class and build out there and win most fights
its easy to learn and handle and much fun

cons:
as usual no swiftness
heal on 35 icd so use it carefully
ppl wont like you…

i will try to put a video of it

hope you like it

i tweak it for group play and will try it this week and tell you the outcomes

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgQQNAW7anUE1UbRNi0QdbEx0jgD5EOUKuusrkCc7CB-j0BBINCy0CwkIBKHqIasl1FRjVdDTHjIqWKAYmDA-w

the main ideas:
high condition dmg 2.2-2.4k in wvw
clones factory for more Debilitating Dissipation’s triggers
100% confusion uptime with 2.5sec immobilized when using chaos storm
defensive golem for controlling area which reflect for 5 seconds and being light field so more retaliation uptime for the group (with dagger storm also cleans conditions)

Good build, pretty much the exact spec of a build I posted awhile back, Chaotic Conditions. I run 0/25/25/0/15 post-patch and it works well. Pre-patch I ran 0/20/30/0/20 with chaotic interruption (CI). The problem with chaotic interruption in your build (and previously mine) is that there is only one practical way to proc it in chaos storm. I don’t count diversion in this build as a source due to the “clone on death” style. I also don’t count daze on the 2nd magic bullet bounce, since that’s more situational. Those to me would be spice in your lockdown tool kit.

So, CI here is a waste of a GM trait IMO. That’s why I personally took 5 from chaos and gave to dueling for confusion on-death, furthering the spirit of the build. I’ve thought about staying with 30 in chaos, taking bountiful interruption with chaotic dampening, but I’d lose the additional condition pressure which I’m not jazzed about.

For your build – if you go back to using PU it would make more sense, and I’ve seen a couple people post builds with that exact 0/20/30/0/20 spec post-patch so I know it’s being used out there to some degree.

thanks
your build is 2500 armor and 2k condi dng (with 10 might stack) while mines is 2900 armor and can be 2.4k condition dmg . also the signet heal allow me to create more phantasm to burst down the backline or side line.
but yes the idea is the same.

that’s what i like in 30 points into chaos as you can tweak it to any situations

pu is more for roaming
ci for more group cc in burst situation (even if with chaos storm mainly)
bi can buff your might to the sky (but with 2.2-2.4k condition dmg it may be over kill)
confusion on death only 1 stack so in group situation wont get notice at all. roaming its different story (i run 0,25,30,15,0 for more confusion and retaliation and regeneration)

what about the idea with clone factory and defensive golem?

here is short video roaming 1v2 and 2v2

Interesting setup, personaly I favour the high toughness setups with gameplay based survival, This kind of conditon builds are wery offensive in terms of condition gameplay, you need those conditions to land and do dmg as you after you do not have alot of extra survival (no torch, low vitality, not alot of burst healing).

I personaly usualy feel a need for some extra survival in wvwvw, if its form better mobility, resettebal cd on immunity shatter or extra instant stealth dosent matter.

If a 2 enemy cenario focus you with a burst thief and a random condition applyer you realy need to down one of them early before you out of chaos storms and massinvises.

I also think 30 in chaos is better than 25, in most cases a full out give more flexibility in a build than to stay on minor traits, but again this is my personal oppinion.

I agree that the 25 in dueling is not a wery impressive ability, never liked it and especialy after the confusion nerf it eather should need a buff or a total remake.

I like the fact you provide a gameplay video how you mean the build should be used. Alot of ppl post build after build but can never give the build veight with somthing more than theory. Want to show that a special setup work, show how to use the setup and what work for you. I wont comment the gameplay on your vid as its not whats interesting here.

sorry for my spelling btw, this forums need a spellcheck

my game play is average (5/10) i mess up a lot
but as you can see this build very forgiving
also my videos are kind randoms and from the day before the post date. as i dont look for some great scenes and rather focus to show you (and me most of all) if its working or not

also i tried defensive golem – a bit useless in zerg battle as its hard to put it as you team always on the move (feedback is a lot better)
but mirror images work like a charm especially when you get focus by those warriors and thieves
