Hello folks ive been runing this staff build for a while in spvp and its been doing wonders for me… however, im posting this here couse im thinking i could improve it but i have no idea what more to improve. so here it is.
Main: Staff (im using it 95% of the time)
Sub: Axe/dagger, Axe/warhorn (deppending what i need)
Utility: Consume Condi, Spectral armor, Spectral walk, BiP,
Elite: Lych
Traits:
30 curses: Hemophilia, Weakening Shroud, Terror
30 DM: Greater Marks, Staff Mastery, Reaper’s Protection
10 SR: Fear of Death
‘’Sigil of superior agony’’ on staff, and ‘’sigil of superior battle’’ on both sub weapons.
Full ‘’superior rune of undead’’ and ‘’carrion amulet’’ with ‘’carrion jewel’’.

Im runing with this build by laying as many marks as i can, activating spectral armor and Bip, laying some more marks and then using DS for #4, fear and bleed/chill. I have plenty of toughness and vit to keep me up for a while (considering im in pugs all the time it all deppends on the people i guess, was planing to get a good team for tpvp but too shy to do it) and with #4 staff skill i can keep most of condis off of me. I use Lych form only when im at a safe spot where i can unload and close in if my allies are in need of help.

There it is. i know there are ways to put it into a url but im too tryed to test it atm.
This is my favorite build (i have a axe/warhorn, and D/D build with weils that works wonders as well) and im running with it all the time, but i would like to make it better. thank you

May I ask what your source of damage is? If it’s conditions via staff then may I suggest using scepter/dagger? Also, why no epidemic? I reckon it is a must for any conditionmancer.

I main staff as well, and I actually find it to be more useful for applying conditions than the scepter, as well as hitting the enemy for some damage. (However I run this , so there will be a some difference.)

I find the “Sigil of Superior Earth” to be very helpful in stacking all of those lovely bleeds! As for Carrion, you may want to try Rampager. It will give you a bit less condition, but makes up for it with the Precision and Power/Vitality. It won’t make much of a difference for your conditions, as bleeds seem to be the best condition we have with staff (only 5% of your total condition is used for bleed damage).

I tryed with precision and sigil of earth and it didnt quite work… found my self lacking those 2k hp i have atm. My main source if dmg is staff period… the only reason i have axe is #2 and #3 as i tend to use DS alot and axe helps with that, and yes i prefer staff over cepter too, helps when them runners try to dodge and slither their way to freedom, thats why i love the fear mark ^^

consider getting a bit more power and aim for a staff hybrid build
