For the last while I have been trying to come up with a build concept that would essentially allow me to use one set of ascended armor for both of my two primary builds. The first being a variant of the p/d condition build while the second (mainly WvW zergs & PvE) is my P/P burst build. The goal was to keep the main set of armor and then just change out the weapons, rings, accessories, etc. to get the desired effects. Using Aikijinx’s Life Absorb build as a template, I came up with the two builds listed below. Each of these builds are using gear I currently have though I am now working on the ascended celestial set. What I really like about the celestial build concept for WvW is that it provides enough direct damage that those anti-condi builds will have to think twice about fighting you. If desired, you can also change out sleight of hand for bewildering ambush to get the 5 stacks of confusion. I’ve found that many folks instantly burn their condi cleanse when they see confusion on them.
Anyways, as I’m still messing around with these, I’d love to see what you all think. My builds, as well as Aikijinx’s are listed below.
