Strongest condi builds? Spvp
Bump bump bump
Do not look like as if someone use Condi in PvP. Neither do I. Even my PU Build is Power.
I’ve been using this in PvP, it’s fun. You can adapt your style to do condition or direct damage bursts. And you can get the two-for-one with the scepter-pistol. You can trade Mimic for Arcane Thievery or Signet of Domination.
Feel free to play with the runes. I like adventure since they bolster both sources of power, and the heal serves as an energy sigil with a 12-second Mirror. The more clones the better. Also, dodging/evading means a ton of blinds. Once it’s fixed, I plan on swapping Phantasmal Fury for Duelist’s Discipline.
I run the build in my signature, which is far from optimal, but workable enough while being enjoyable.
I am waiting for Chrono to be available in hope that alacrity, f5, clone on shatter, slow/quickness will offer the most benefit for my playstyle (rapid sequential shattering), so until then I am playing a handicapped build.
Ideally you’re much better off taking scepter/pistol and blinding dissipation. The choice between chaos grandmasters just depends on playstyle – bountiful disillusionment is better if shattering a lot and CI is better with pistol and staff.
But I just love the mobility tricks you can play around maps with ileap, swap, phase retreat and of course having blurred frenzy Is lovely.
What I’m maiming these days: Temporal Condi Shatter.

Highlights:
- Moderate AOE pressure from torment/confusion.
- Nullfield for 7s helps to neuter enemy bunkers as well as sustain yours. Completely counters condi bombers due to the Resistance it gives for 3.5s.
- Timewarp has literally turned every fight around in my team’s favor even when we were losing. 100% success rate thus far. Helps with rezzing, stomping and interrupting key skills. I’ve even been able to win some 1v2s thanks to TW.
- A lot of self-sustain via Restorative Illusions. The healing is actually pretty powerful when you consider you how often you can shatter. I’ve noticed that I never die to OP burning anymore due to this on-demand condi clearing.
- Medic’s Feedback usually ensures a rez. The Resistance neutralizes poisoned allies for 3.5s while you rez them and protect them from projectiles. Also, having 8s of Feedback is nice on top of a point. It rekts a Lich who just downed one of your allies.
- Excellent 1v1 capabilities against all classes except equally skilled dps guards and diamond skin eles.
There was a glimmer of hope that we’d be able to condi burst post-revamp, but now that Maim has been nerfed, I think the way of condi builds is to play more of a supportive role. Leave the condi bursting to Necros/Engis.

I was running this one awhile ago:

Was nice, but I got tired of it
