Huge prot/retal/swift/regen stacks?

Bountiful Theft : Stealing removes 2 boons from your target and grants them to nearby allies.
Larcenous Strike: Stab your foe and steal up to two boons from them.

No thanks.

So now boons are bad to?

If you can reliably reapply them mid-fight, I would recommend against stacking them this high vs certain classes.

7 Mirrors ran with PU in a lot of his builds, and he seemed to kill people pretty effortlessly. I’ve run with this trait a lot. With 30 in chaos, and centaur runes, you have 100% uptime of swiftness. And this trait buff just makes things even better. I usually run

20/20/30

But sometimes I run

10/30/30

I usually run in full zerker armor, with all celestial jewels. My Izerker wakittenting people for awesome amounts last night. And this little bump my survivability made me smile all night.

With cleansing configuration. You remove conditions, stealth, gain protection, and heal yourself. Its just plain awesome.

Me and the wonderful Jester talked shop ingame (The dude i’m quoting) and this is the result! What do you guys think? Any changes that’d help?

Off the bat i would recommend taking Master of Manipulation over Debilitating Dissipation, that lowered cooldown on Blink makes a huge difference overall.

Oh thanks for picking that up, that was a mistake on my part!

Nice build, although I still can’t personally justify 20 points in domination for cleansing conflagration.

Prefer to split those points with 10 in inspiration for a choice of IV, VI, I or II, and then 30 in duelling which means I can take IV, X and I together, or even swap I out for III (retaliatory shield comes in handy now with all the aegis). So 0/30/30/10/0.

Edit: And you also get free exploding clones with duelling 30, so no need to waste a major trait on debilitating dissipation. I agree master of manipulation is a must have.

I’m looking at something like this now for WvW:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNAW7flwzKqXVTsGb9IhpHBH5A/kCmLdSKU9rB-jgyAIMAcWkJPAUIIqAcOsIasVzioxqsx0wER1WdAA-e

Decent power (not amazing, but not trash either), decent condition damage (about 1000 with scepter which doubles damage on almost every condition), great armor, and lots of PU stealth.

EDIT: Yes I know that build editor is out of date — you’ll have to use your imagination a bit and add 150 condition damage when scepter is activated to envision the stats.

Part of me thinks that someone in ANet was thinking “hey, wanna see something funny? Watch this…”

Reason i’ve got 20 in Domination is for the PvE side of things as well, I can swap Cleansing to the Greatsword Proficiency on the fly! The cleansing also makes the Torch Invis 6 seconds quicker with helps out quite a bit! I also use the cleansing to remove boons since i’m using Blink, Decoy and a Signet most of the time.

^Yeah the GS trait swap is very convenient.

I’d love to take dom IX for 24s (effectively 20s) prestige cooldown. Maybe I’ll play around with it, but inspiration 10 is hard to let go of.

What does anyone think about the Celestrial Jewelry, good move? Same with the armour?

How does this fare against sword Thieves and Corrupt Boon Necros?
