Conditionmancer advice
If you are in North America, I can help you ingame.
Contact me ingame for Necro, Ranger, Mesmer, and Thief advice.
For pve i put together pretty good condition build, ive foudn to be very reliable adn good damage. I use mostly rabid with rampager gear and about 2 pieces of apothecary(Adding some power instead of pure condition damage works better imo). Get your crit chance high(mine is at 54-55%) and use sigil of earth to stack extra bleeds. I’m setup with 10/30/10/20/0 for pve. I use bleed duration runes/krait/centaur/etc. for over 100% bleeds with lingering curse. With the crit chance i setup lifesteal on crit with bloodthirst. Everytime i crit i steal 90 health which gives me some sustainability combined with death shroud. Bip and epidemic work greatfor slots! if your interested in my build message me too!
That’s what I used back when I was running conmancer. I focused on a little more power since bleed doesn’t scale that amazing it’s better to hit for 200 more damage then have a bleed that ticks for 120 instead of 115… Anyway bip brings it up to around 130ish ticks of bleed and the direct damage is good enough to get by fighting bar stools.
First of all i d suggest u drop Corrosive poison cloud… it seems to me that it is like using a much weaker version of chilblains-putrid mark combo on a longer cooldown.
You d better use plague signet for more condition control, a spectral skill for extra LF regenaration and a buff, a movement speed increase (s. walk or signet of the locust), or a well (WoS/WoC are more effective for dps than CPC if u use carrion/rampager gear)
Also try to mix some rampager gear with your carrion gear… its squisier but if you know the tactics of each fight u ll be fine.
If u are not comfortable with using rampager use some rabid parts. From karma vendors you can get trinkets or armor (4 pieces only). Try to get your crit chance at 35-40% so u can benefit more from sigil of earth procs. I wouldnt go for more than 50% since with the 2 sec internal cd on sigil of earth more crit wont really benefit you in my opinion.
Use runes with cond dmg ofc (undead are a good and option) and sigil of earth and corruption or agony for scepter/dagger and perhaps energy, geomancy or battle on staff.
I find it quite boring to try and get 25 stacks from corruption sigil every time i change areas, but its an extra 250 cond dmg.
As for traits 30 in curses and 10 in death magic seem mandatory.. the rest can go wherever u want.
I like a build similar to Dakiaris’ build, but other usefull traits are mark of evasion and soul marks (since LF generation is a problem for condimancers).
A 10-30-10-0-20 build can take advantage of the increased LF generation from soul marks by going into DS often to get might from Reaper’s Might.
Finally use food and buffs…
Best options are bowl of truffle risoto, rare veggie pizza and master tunning crystals.
If u find them too expensive for u, then use bowl or mushroom and asparagus, super veggie pizza and quality tunning crystals which are much cheaper and are the second best buffs u can use.
Note that u can use tuning crystals and a food at the same time.
This is what I use daily in WvW. Might not be the best build out there but it works for me.
