Guild Wars 2

imo in wvw the only condition specs that are good are the ones focusing on prismatic understanding and deceptive evasion combined with rabid gear.

try using 20, 20, 30 or 10, 30, 30 with staff as melee weapon and use clones as body blocks/ melee bombs. retaliation works wonders.

IF perplexity runes will work 100%, a revival of the condition shatter would be possible. I would love that.

I currently run condition-shatter with the Perplexity runes – works pretty well. My build:

Personally, I like it – spread quite a bit of condition love to opponents in WvW, works great for me in groups (get a bunch of tags/kills), and has ok burst to put pressure on folks in a 1v1 scenario. Confusion is getting me kills again – love love love all the swirly pink numbers!

Alright doesn’t seem there is much more. I’m going to take down this post then thanks guys

Okay I dont know how lol

@Overlord, if you want to look over or try another condition build, here is one still in testing mode but working well so far:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Build-ChillRuption/first#post2497944

It was a build I originally posted to be power focused but had a condition aspiration. I’ve just updated the post to reflect the new build, and there are a couple other condition variants posted in that thread by bobross and keenlam that looked promising. I’m currently working on a video and will update when finished.

I’ve been running a Condition/Interrupt spec:
0/20/30/0/20, Perplexity runes, Bountiful and Chaotic Interruption, both Manipulation Traits, Master of Misdirection, Masterful Reflection (or Illusionary Elasticity).
Weapons are Carrion (Staff/Scepter or MH Sword/Focus), Armour’s Rabid, Trinkets are Rabid (or Celestial, if I feel like a bit more straight DPS/Vitality).

Although, I have run the build Dhampyr posted … just haven’t tried it, post-Perplexity.
The two grimmson mentions are also solid, as is ChillRuption. Feel free to try any, or all of the above. At the least, it could act as a springboard for your own personal style.

Nice – that’s almost exactly the chillruption condition build I posted. Curious how yours is working.

I play a Bunker/Boon Support, condition build. It’s good fun:

@ skcamow
Exceedingly well, especially in small group roaming or zerg support. I keep MR around in case I get focused before the stacking kicks some poor fool’s kitten. I figure I’ll get some use outta the Runes, before they’re QQ’d into the dirt.

Yeah MR is great since the focus isn’t traited. It seems like a sin to do that if taking a focus but there are ways to manage. Having the warden on 20 sec CD is great cause you at least have a projectile block if needed to hide behind.

I’ve really grown to appreciate the versatility in Illusions for condition builds. It makes going 25 to get IC not nearly as painful. Phantasmal haste is golden for bleed stacking using the duelist and especially if you’re using the disenchanter for condi-mgmt (that more in PvP). Also since shatters are used moderately, illusionary invigoration is great to take with MR when going against projectile heavy opponents. If taking staff, go illusionary elasticity. Loads of options.
