Guild Wars 2

Hello,

Title sais it all basically. I’m coming back to check things out after a few weeks/months. So i kinda missed out on what happened with the most recent patch. I saw somewere that they finally fixxed IE for Staff clones? Does this mean a PU IE Condi build could work now? Making all those awesome clones bleed the crowd up… Sounds fun.

I haven’t gotten the time to test things for myself yet..

I know PU is considered newbytrait, but i just like the playstyle. I read that now additional (not as usefull) boons are added, so basically this was nerfed? Am i getting this right?

Combining this with the added torment on scepter 1, this all seems like a good buff for the PU Staff Scepter/Torch build… On paper at least. What did you guys experience so far. This is what i had in mind:

(it’s probably not the greatest build, as it lacks condi removal, but it’s mostly for lols and giggles in simple sPvP)

Since no-one has an aswer on this, I was able to test this, and its awesome!

IE + staff clones is so much fun! Not to mention the massive torments and confusions from scepter.

Some ele’s (that aoe my clones) and some engines are tough to handle, but most profession-build combinations are easy to handle with this build, so much fun.

Though i might look for a more challeging alternative without PU… However, if you like condition PvP, you should try this for casual sPvP and tPvP.

I’m playing it but with sword/torch as I hate the scepter. It is doing fine vs some specs, but any condition build is a hard counter. I can’t beat a Sw/Sw-Longbow warrior. Also it’s hard to damage DD eles due to their movement and AoE (staff clones do miss a lot). But more static/power builds just melt.
