Ive been looking into some builds. And read a P/P D/D build somewhere.
Was wondering if this would be any good tho?

P/P main weapon set
D/D 2nd weapon set

Venom build…
so basically stacking “debuffs” and finishing a kill off with D/D weapon set??

this anything or should I go with D/D SB/ build?

Two problems with this concept:

1. Neither P/P nor the typical D/D are exceptionally well suited for condition builds. You could use a death blossom build with D/D but you’d be leaving P/P out in the cold.
2. Stacking a bunch of crap and then “finishing off” a target is usually a whole lot less effective than just starting the fight by finishing them off. If you’ve got the burst capability, open with it, if you want to wear someone down, do that, mixing them isn’t going to work very well on your stats.

Theoretically you can spam a bunch of Body Shots and then switch into D/D to “finish” with Heartseeker, right? Except Body Shot is such terrible damage that you’d be better off using any other skill to get your target to 50 %, thereby getting much better returns on Heartseeker than you would from the vuln stacks. Not to mention you burned all of your initiative to apply those vuln stacks.
