Thought of a simple Rev roaming build which I tryied for a few days. Due to the lack of damage against physical builds, its pretty hard to face illusion chrono. Warrior is still not that hard.
Tested mainly against condi necro (really easy) and condi trapper thief (working well) and condi engi (will bomb himself)

Pulsating pestilence sometimes bugs out with cleansing sigil which could be swapped out. The additional poison (about 12s by sigil + 8s by trait) keep the healing low.

Its not OP against anything except condi necro, but handles condis quite nice if you swap you weapons and THEN invoke your legend so the sigil for cleansing is on CD, you still loose 4 condis through invoking (1 lost, 3 transfered).

I mostly use hammer instead of staff (poor dusty Nevermore) for roaming since it works well after thieves run away (doing that all time). Im a bit rusty with staff, if you find it easier to use it instead of hammer, go for it.

The build:

Pulsating Pestilence doesn’t transfer conditions, it just copies 3 of the remaining conditions on you randomly to enemies closeby. So invoking would remove 1 random condition on you, then copy 3 randomly that you have left. The copied conditions can still kill you if you dont have the Mallyx Resistance.

Oh yes. So its not buggy, but it still works if you weaponswap afterwards then instead of before to get rid of a few.

The traits in corruption don’t make any sense, you don’t have any torment sources apart from pulsating pestilence so the first trait is a waste. Also Spontaneous Destruction is way better than Bolstered Anguish. Also for roaming I would argue that staff is way better than hammer.

Nope it does trasfer 3 random condi to enemys in 240 radius so u lost 3 condis and give them to enemy but their time and dmg after transfer are based on ur condi uptime and dmg.
