i’m trying condi biuld atm with scepter/dagger and loving it in fractals and so on. But i have hard time figuring out how to get 100% boon duration.
Any tips, gears i need to get?
Viper armor set (13.8%)
Viper weapon (7.8%)
4-5 runes of nightmare or 4-5 runes of tempest (it’s easier to get) (15%)
rare veggie pizza (20%)
Toxic focussing cristal (10%)
superior sigil of malice (10%)
Base = 76.6%
Add :
some viper jewels
And you reach the 100% mark.
However, I don’t think reaching the 100% mark for all conditions is the best way to gear. As a necromancer/reaper, I think it better to focus on bleed duration (since this is where anet desperatly push us) and look for higher condition damage. Though I may be wrong.
Edit : Oh my bad! boon duration?
that would be :
wanderer armor/weapon/accessory.
Platinum doubloon
runes of surging
boon duration food : bowl of nopalitos sauté
Bountiful maintenance oil
Thanks to platinum doubloon 100% is easily reachable.
No core profession should be balanced around an optional elite specialization.
This is my budget 100% condi duration build.
It’s a full on offensive build.
Can’t get ascended viper trinkets since I don’t raid, and don’t want to spend crazy money to maintain toxic focusing crystals.
It has good self might generation, but may use decimate defenses in parties.
Can also swap out Spite for BM if you need more survivablity.
My main is Scepter/dagger, but the other set can be anything you want. Staff for utility, and GS for the aoe blinds. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vREQNAW7Ync0Ad3gV3AW2A0biFcBLaD0BGBxXxu4YE6qFAaBA-ThSFQBXbhhqZ+pgK/Uy+A9T1nEcEAanuBhpGwgUCCgDCAhAUMHA-e
If it can be improved upon, let me know.
A pair of Giver’s weapons is 20% all by itself and are less expensive than Viper’s, though less powerful. They are only available in exotic and so will be Soul-bound. Add Malice on one, pizza, and toxic focusing crystals to get to 60% leaving you a lot of Rune options depending on how much Viper’s accessories you add. Nightmare-trapper alone has 25% and will bump you to 95% without any Viper’s.
Considering a full set of Viper’s nets under 40% duration, giver’s 20% a pair has decent value.
Got over 9K dps with only self-generated buffs/debuffs.
Yes, it can be better if you use the top tier pizza and toxic crystal with berserker runes, but the whole idea was a budget minded build(at least on consumables to use all the time).
Tried other combinations but the spite trait line really ups the DPS for condi now with how DC works. I just wished that Close to Death also added 20% to condi dmg as well.
Which is why I chose Signet of Suffering instead to make use of the spite signet.
