Can some one suggest a dual sword build. I’m wearing some rampager and zerk with centaur runes. Too broke to change the gear so is dual sword good for the gear I have? I dont see the swords having much condition. I need suggestions on the traits. I’m running the typical 20/20/30 atm.

I’m pretty much full zerker’s running a shattercat build except with 20 in dom as I don’t need the pistol trait. Staff on the swap, following that model, as it’s brilliant for survival.

Most of the condition damage I produce is from shatters, I get a couple might stacks from food and my battle sigil to boost it but I mostly rely on straight power/precision. My OH sword definitely won’t stack conditions the way a duellist or warden might, but with a 12s cooldown I’m using it for 1 hit then shatter fodder. No clue whether it’s an optimal build, but it works for me. Using armor with some condition damage instead just means your confusion stacks from shattering will have more bite.
