Hey dear mesmer folks!
Got a quick question here, if you use condi in wvw or solo pve, what stats do you use for your equipment?
and do you use givers weapons? they lack of condi dmg, but 20% condi dura seems quite amazing :S help

Got a quick question here, if you use condi in wvw or solo pve, what stats do you use for your equipment?
WvW and PvE are going to have slightly different optimal answers here.
- condi dmg > precision = toughness (vulnerable to condi due less hp, better heal due low hp and armor, 50% crit chance for bleed procs by crits)
This is rabid gear. A mix of this and dire (Cond, vit, tough) is what is optimal in WvW. Rabid gear is wonderfully tanky, and a bit of dire provides a good amount of vit to boost your health to a good level. The precision in rabid is absolutely essential to any viable condition build for both sharper images and vigor procs.
- condi dmg > vitality = power (less heal due high hp pool and low armor, more personal damage, not so vulnerable against condis)
This is carrion gear. It is worthless on a mesmer. Never use it.
The main PvE option not mentioned here is Sinister stats. This is Condition damage, precision, and power. Sinister is squishy like zerker, but condition style. This makes it a poor choice for WvW where thieves or…anything really will eat you. However, it provides you with the maximum potential damage output for solo PvE. That being said, being squishy when trying to solo a champ or w/e is also potentially not the greatest idea, so unless you’re playing almost perfectly, Rabid may be the better option for PvE as well.

The condition duration is nice…but mostly unecessary. You can easily get permanent burning without it, so that’s not important. You can also reach 25 bleed stacks with a little bit of luck and just 40% food and 20 in domination. Ultimately, you lose a ton of condition damage by taking givers weapons, and it’s just not worth it for the small stack increases you obtain.
I’ve got 1800 instead of 2000 condi dmg with givers, yet with runes and 04406 and 40% food I’ve got 75% condi dura. Now what’s more awesome here:
2000 condi dmg à 75% condi dura,
1800 condi dmg à 95% condi dura.
Thx for the information about carrion and rabid gear. I’ve played most of my time as zerk/assa pve mes. TY.
€dit: my thoughts were, I’ve never gonna keep torment, burn or confusion permanently on my enemies, and full rabid wich has no vita with givers who has seems nice to me.
