Guild Wars 2

Hey,
tried a bit with a condition build for the thief.
Carrion + Rifle

Recorded that quickly on svanir but did the same infight a lot of times:

Highest poison stack was 34, resulting in ~9k/s

How?
Pretty easy:

F1 alone gives you 4 stacks, Rifle 2 while kneeling immobilizes and theres a trait that you apply poison to people you immobilize. +venom on top. (could reset f1 and apply more poison if you want to)

However, not a good sustain thing but a perfect gank tool for literarily everything

For those that don’t like Rifle, also works quite well with Pistol/Dagger due to pistol immobilize skill.

For those who like rifle, you can do all that at 1500m range

Hm… I could see an interesting hybrid between Condi Damage and Physical Damage with the Rifle and other abilities. I’m thinking Viper would be an all around better armor for this build than Carrion (Gives Precision and Expertise, there is no +Power, +Condi, +Ferocity, +Precision as far as I know).

Deadly Arts: 2 – 2 – X… I’m having a hard time building for the last one. Potent Poison increases poison damage and duration, but using stolen skills twice adds 4 stacks instantly instead of only 3, but the fact that you’re increasing damage and duration by 33%, so it’s 3 stacks of 13s poison instead of 4 stacks of 10s.

Honestly, I was using a Power build in PvP, and it was fun to play. Sadly, the class will be difficult to tweek for PvE without severely effecting its PvP and WvW content.

wasn’t there already a thread with the same thing.

Yep
