condi wvw roamer
This is what I use
The big difference from pvp is that you can use trailblazer or dire gear, so you are much more survivable. If you pick the mantra heal like this build, it’s good to get in the habit of recharging while you’re stealthed. The disenchanter is important for me because that’s how I get rid of the resistance boon.
No staff ? i was thinking to try only scepter but you lose a strong evasion skill … ( staff 2 ) but staff sometime seems me not as good in wvw as in spvp
If you take staff you have to give up either torch or shield, which are both good offhands for a condi chrono to take. Shield is most of your sustain, and torch gives you more access to stealth. Its just a tradeoff
There are definitely people who are fantastic with staff. Besides the fact that shield and torch are both good offhands, here are the things I like about going scepter-scepter mainhand.
- With malicious sorcery, everything is 20% faster because you always have a scepter in mainhand. That makes charging the mantra much more realistic (as well as getting through some of those 1 second casts)
- The scepter block is available more frequently than every 5 seconds. It’s only a little bit of defense, but it’s a ton of torment damage and a clone.
- It makes the runes of tormenting even more valuable.
- I just like scepter. I’ve used it for years – even before it had it’s enhancements.
I think there are probably lots of condi mesmer builds that can work well, so you probably want to experiment. If you try scepter, definitely try it with Malicious Sorcery.
Good luck!
