With the new changes to Dhuumfire I am reworking my Terror build and i wanted to get some early feedback from the community

The Build:

Taking 0/30/20/0/20 I lose burning and 30% condition duration for fear on disable extra condition removal (lol) and toughness. Also i pick up chill on blind (love this with plague)

Using Runes of the Necromancer + Koi Cakes and the Master of Terror trait I easily get the 100%+ to fear

I feel like this build has more surviveability and more passive defense (extra Fears) but there are a few things i could change. For instance picking up Lingering Curse Instead of Chilling Darkness or Picking up the staff traits in Death Magic instead of extra fear, what do you guys think?

P.S. I don’t think Dhuumfire is dead i just prefer to use DS more strategically, not just to proc burn. Also now that the overall effectiveness of burn has diminished I would like to see the nerfs to Terror be reverted (wont happen but still)

Minus chilling darkness that’s nearly identical to a build I used to run when roaming wvw. It’s actually very effective in rabid/dire hybridized gear and cvt trinkets. Will probably be very effective for you.

I use a similar build, except i put your 20 from death magic into spite for signet mastery and chilling death.

Your scepter and dagger sigils are sharing the same cd.
Switch torment with corruption sigil and use undead runes – you wont lose condition duration due to 20 pts in spite.
Chill of death and chilling darkness are very powerful when fighting other players imo.

Plays quite smoothly in small scale wvw.

They may have fixed it but Sigil of Torment was bugged and did not share a CD with other on Crit Sigils. Also one of the changes they mentioned with the new update was separating Sigil CDs (from the notes i read it looks like they will only share a CD with the same sigil, i.e. 2x sigil of earth)

Anyhoo that’s why I had that in there, if I had to change it I would go with Energy.
