Guild Wars 2

Hello,
I am playing this build. I think it’s pretty strong and fun. Based for burning/condi and group play. Very good for PVE/WvW.

What do you think? Can you share different condi builds what are you playing?

That’s pretty close to what I run. I swap out some of the armor for more survivability and I use a sigil of bursting in the mace and a smoldering in the shield, but yeah, the balthazaar runes are pretty good for a mace wielder. I haven’t come across anything better yet.

Question: What’s the reasoning for Frigid Precision over Bolster Anguish? Is it for the WvW use?

From a mathematic standpoint, I sort of like this set of gear a little better: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQNApXin3geNSuQvJRboHlsP0kS4I6SJ4EtrkFUlhNpmiKNgCSwO92jH-TBjAQBQU9nrp8AaPAgus+AAOBARTPgAOCALZDg9oJQSKBFjSsBcIACAcAsbdL8vBGf8xHf8xb3d3d3d3tUAMprC-e

The build is interesting, though. I like it.

To be honest, I think the Corruption trait line is absolutely dreadful (at least for PvE), since most of it didn’t get updated when self-inflicted conditions from Mallyx got removed. I ended up dropping it entirely and using Devastation instead (Ferocious Strikes/Assassin’s Presence/either Swift Termination or Assassin’s Annihilation). I really don’t feel like I’m missing much, and my non-condition damage is in a significantly better place.

I haven’t done any maths to back it up though, so maybe it’s a terrible idea.

Depends on your primary source of DoT damage. Getting 50% poison duration and 33% torment duration is nice. The extra poison proc is on a really long cooldown though so it’s kinda blah, It could have no cooldown and it wouldn’t be OP. Overall though, yeah, corruption is pretty weak. A hybrid approach might work.

I actually started looking into a condi build today and came up with something very similar to this. Other than runes (which I haven’t decided on) the only differences where that I wanted to use the new Viper gear (Power, Prec, Condi Dam, Condi Dur) and take Soothing Bastion instead of Elder’s Force

Would Rune of the Berserker be viable for a Condi Revenant? (+5% damage and 5% condition damage)
