Guild Wars 2

Anyone else toyed with the idea of running a perplex druid? With all these dazes and what not… seems intriguing at the very least.

MoC, Perplex Runes, Technobabble, Glyph of Equality, Lunar Impact, Ancient seeds… gg wp.

It seems interesting, but I don’t think it will work too well. The dazes have rather long durations so you are wasting a lot of the potential damage of confusion by the enemy being unable to cast any skills, and druid has no other way of applying confusion (except unreliable pet). If the confusion on interrupt did not have an ICD I could see it being very strong, but with the high spammability of the dazes you aren’t going stack much confusion at all.

w/o stunbreaks you can keep enemies from attacking for 10, 15 seconds if pulled off right. This alone seems trolly as hell.

If you don’t go daze spamming route and MoC then I could appreciate perplex runes.

Funny, my other thought was something along the lines of the old MoC shortbow/ gs, lock down build we saw a long time ago.

Sinister SB/GS and also doing bonus damage to impaired foes. Moas have a daze, drakehound/wolf/elec wyvern/Smokescale knockdowns. Glyph daze, CA daze, spike trap.

Add in ancient seeds and on-swap condi sigils and you’d just torture them until they melt.

Of course, stability negates the cc effects…. But the condis work!
