Basilisk Venom appears to be the fastest recharging Elite available (45 seconds), and can be further accelerated with Quick Venoms (33 second cooldown).

Superior Runes of the Sunless trigger a 1 second fear each time you use your elite, along with providing 83 condition damage, -20% duration to conditions on you, and +4% crit damage.

There’s got to be a Thief build that can leverage that fear.

Har har. Actually, the closest equivalent is the Superior Rune of Melandru, which will give -25% condition duration with 6/6. This Rune-set is much, much more aggressive.

You misspelled Lyssa.

They have a 50 second ICD so Quick Venoms wouldn’t affect them.

OP: They’re not available in PvP, are they?

I’d rather have Lyssa’s 6th bonus — especially over a 1 second fear (or those other bonuses).

1 second fear not worth it. Especially with those stats.

All right, let me rephrase – treat 6/6 Superior Runes of the Sunless & Basilisk Venom as a given: what would you build around it? First for dungeons/small group, then what would you change for WvW mass combat?

Basilisk venom has a 1 second cast time? Assuming that the elite needs to be successfully cast to trigger the fear, you are using 1 second of your time to provide 1 second of fear. Even if the fear occurs when you start to cast the elite, it only covers the casting time.

1s fear is useless other than a rupt and you’re not going to be rupting anything with a 1s cast time lol. Lyssa >

+ chuckle + Right, so Sunless should be buffed or Lyssa nerfed. Fair enough.

…The -20% condition duration doesn’t get any mouths watering in the condition-heavy environments?

melandru runes are better if you’re going for -condition duration. and they’re very popular.
