On my drive home from work I thought about trying a hybrid build using both Dhuumfire and a Sigil of Ice to proc fire and chill in PvP. Runes would be condition duration as would food. The idea is to not only burn the opponent but slow CD on condi-cleanse and heals. Chilling Darkness and dagger off-hand would keep the pressure up and axe would add vulnerability for either minions or allies. Spectral skills can help with defense. Warhorn’s daze might also benefit from the condi-duration.

Anyone try this out, yet? I might when I pull away from leveling alts.

Condi duration doesn’t affect Daze, but Banshee’s Wail + Sigil of Paralyzation does mean an AoE 4 second daze, which is very often overlooked.

You should look into runes of the elementalist. I think the 6th rune gives +20% chill and +20% burn duration

Cool idea. I stitched the build together in an editor.

I really wanted to use Well of Blood, but I’m afraid Consume Conditions is still a better heal skill (shame, really). Also, while Spectral Grasp gives the 8 second chill, maybe the blast finishers from Bone Minions could do some good on your dark combo fields (blind + chill).
I wonder how well a build like this does. In theory it could shut down players very effectively in a team situation.
