So first attempt at making a direct/condition damage build with decent survivability due to the 10 evades you have access to and tons of condition removal. Been using it all day and have been getting good results, only thing is I’m still kitten and don’t make good use of all the evades this build has so I end up losing a lot of 1v1 fights. What do you think?

edited build with new suggestions, has almost 100% poison uptime if you can time it right. You can still play around with different pets if you want more poison, although I like the raven and wolf for swiftness and fear.

I like it, but in my opinion theres not enough condi application in the build. The main source of damage of a condi build is lots and lots of bleed stacks, and you’re being too reliant on SB being able to give you constant damage. For instance, when you’re stuck in S/D, you do have a lot of evades but your dps goes plummeting down. For improvement, I dont think you need THAT much condi removal, you can replace WS GM trait with poison master, which you have 3 applications of poison, which will greatly increase your poison damage when you swap to S/D. I can see the greatness in this build however, it has natural tankiness plus lots and lots of condi removal and evades, it’ll be a great bunker hybrid if played correctly.

hmm very interesting, I think you are right about the WS grandmaster. Now that I look at it again i was definitely lacking damage when in S/D .Ill give it a shot tomorrow and see how it works out. Thanks.

Also consider picking up torch, fire damage spikes really well if you can force your enemy to melee you, which should be easy enough as almost all professions start with ranged damage and then swap to melee.

i would be losing an evade with a short cooldown and i would probably have to swap out poison master with barkskin since i would be losing a poison application with that but ill give this a shot
