(I think the site I used wasn’t updated properly with tooltips)
I’ve been trying out different builds and came to like this one.
I have the superior rune of earth (correct me if i’m wrong) 60% chance on critical to inflict bleeding, while my illusions bleed on crit. With 3x duelist and myself, I can pretty much see this get capped even in dungeons.
The idea of the build is to deal nice damage with conditions, but also be able to pump out some of your own
Basically the build works like this:
Start the fight with scepter/pistol, auto attacking + blocking when necessary and as soon as my third duelist is popped, use feedback + magic bullet, hit confusing images and as soon as the channel finishes swap to greatsword (usually get quite high stacks of confusion doing that, if in a party usually gets to 25), if a duelist dies (one always does in dungeons) i’ll throw out a mirror blade, then phantasmal berserker, mind stab on cooldown and then pretty much rinse and repeat.
Illusion of life, for that little bit of support and ressing people it’s not safe to reach.
Hopefully I explained it well enough. I recently changed my build to this in pvp also and seems to quit work quite well too.
Comments, Critisism please!
Edit: If fighting a ranged mob, obviously feedback works better to use it at the right time, instead of getting a few stacks of confusion from it. Try to use time warp when most people benefit from it and my illusions are stacked nicely.
