Guild Wars 2

The thought occurs to me that Viper stats give a lot of power and precision. With many lamenting the changes made this week, I got to thinking if a condi/power hybrid could work. Go condi until 50%, then gravedigger spam.

It’s pretty straightforward to maintain 100% bleed time during the scepter part of the fight.

The damage multipliers for the second half are pretty serious. Rune of berserker (5%), close to death (20%), sigil of force (5%), spiteful talisman (5%), while maintaining 50% condi duration for epi bombs.

Thoughts?

I carried my t4 pug with my power minion master build today. For old condi meta it was the condi doing all the damage, but it was the minions that soaked up all the enemy damage. So I’m just sticking with my mini horde and stopping pugs from getting wiped over and over because they don’t realise you can’t just run full dps with no defensive utility or traits in t4 fractals.

I really don’t think it would perform well. Did you bother checking dps rotations at the golem? I would possibly take the blood fiend over consume conditions though and swap the warhorn for dagger. Also Flesh Golem would beat CttB tbh.

I have been trying different builds to see if a hybrid will work without scepter and its auto-attack. I am sick to death of scepter being the only means of using the condition damage stat. I may even drop Viper’s to get some boon duration, in which case I would swap dagger for greatsword and the Curses for the Reaper line.
