PvE Condi mesmer
Yeah, I’ve tried it. The build doesn’t work anywhere close to as well in game as it appears to on paper.
Heyhey!
I’ve made my toughts about that one too and I had to disagree with the viability of the build in raids. I calculated the damage of 3 duellists and scepter and didn’t get over 18k~ at all. This said, other professions are better for dealing condi damage or damage in general (see Engi or Ele).
However I’m around 15k dps with more supportive variation of this build:
It will still not provide as much support as the regular power based Chrono with 100% boondura, yet it is a viable option for VG and Sabby:
Against Vale you can summon 2 duellists on red add and still strip boons from the blue add (requires sword), while also having green field duty. The overall dps is ok and you can spare a condi easily. Not perfect but something to think about if you lack condis.
Against Sabby you can stay on ranged with this build pretty well and let the healer stay melee. This is important if the healer is a Tempest or a Mesmer or when you need tons of heals like in the last phase where the Druid normally goes melee anyway.
Still, overall it’s rather a “meh, ok-ish” idea to play condi Mesmer in raids. But it’s definitly NOT garbage at all. I crafted myself a full ascended armor, weapons and trinkets for it – that should say something at least :P
