My Condi BWE3 Build Glint/Mallyx
Added YouTube Video
swapped sword out and just go Mace/Shield/Axe and am having even more success. Using Unyielding anguish + Elemental Blast in AoE situations, Burst of Strength + Banish Enchantment in 1v1 situations against a mobile/aware foe.
Not finding much success with Embrace the Darkness as the 7 upkeep drains everything and leaves me too vulnerable, but pain absorption / empowering mastery really helps against condi builds, while infuse light / gaze of darkness really helps against power builds.
Run enhanced bulwark, it gives you tons of survivability with the F2 and the stab on dodge trait. I basically ran this build last beta, its pretty sweet.
Also run carrion/scavenging (or forge runes). Dolyak runes are kitten, and rabid stats are infererior to carrion since carrion lets you survive burst better.
Taking a break from GW2 to play various
Nintendo games..
I get more out of retribution than I do invocation, and I don’t see the point of hammer unless you’re in wvw assaulting a keep or something. Most skills between mallyx and glint require you to be closer than the hammer range.

I’ve already swapped to Enhanced Bulwark in build. Makes more sense with the range you have to be in all the time. And am trying out the Carrion vs Rabid, but with Dolyak I never have a problem with surviveability.
New video using above changes. Mallyx might not be as OP as it used to be, but it’s FAR from being dead:
Retribution 2/3/2
Corruption 3/3/3
Herald 3/2/3
