Hello again,
so after the Panicond build which utilize a massive burst of conditions and venom share abilities which support your team as well, some ppl find it hard to play it because the lack of defensive tool and not being much appropriate for beginners.
also the build aim for group play which some ppl like more to play as roamer and testing their 1vX abilities
1vX basic condition build is 0,0,30,20,20 with full dire/carrion with skale venom only as venom to put more pressure to your bleeding. this build is very easy to master with vigor uptime and 2 defense utilities like SR, SS. but some ppl find it more as troll build.
so as i told you last time i theorycraft with s/p combined with venom.
yes S/P
bear with me…
so ppl want more defense utilities so i put 2 of those. also i took out the venom share as ppl want more solo play
The Vsting
V for Venom
Sting because of the stun/daze abilities which heart for short moment preventing you from act or react
p/d set is straightforward weapons – you main conditions applier
s/p set is your defense and control weapon set
- cripple and weakness cover conditions,
- immobilize and clear condition,
- stun and enable to apply fast conditions while evade,
- daze key skill,
- blind the area against melee classes
rune of balthazar give you aoe burning condition every 15 seconds
swapping weapon gives you aoe 3 stacks of bleeding
key trait here is Improvisation
with 3 different utilities tree you have 60% chance every 21 seconds one of them will recharge.
this gives you the ability
1. play aggressive if venom recharge
2. play more defensive if SS or ROI recharge
you have 2 stun breaks and many conditions removal abilities
1v1
very strong p/d by itself so combine it with stun /daze and control weapon we got us a winner
also PW does nice dmg
as you saw in the panicond build the pressure of 6 conditions make most enemy to run or die. so even if you enemy could clear all the 6 conditions his hp will drop to 50%-70% and he will probably use his heal skills also.
5 bleeding, 5 torment, poison, will do 687+515/1030+274=1476/1991 dps without direct dmg. so with direct dmg it can be 2500 dps in average
with burning the dps is 3300
if you swaping you have 3 more bleeding stacks so dps can be 3700
so usually enemy wont use their conditions clear skills so fast rather after few seconds like 3-4. thus if you PW you got yourself 5-6 seconds till your enemy stun breaks which
can give you almost 18k-22k dmg
this build is no easy to master as you need to learn the rotation and use steal in key moments like after using SS/ROI+venom use steal, learn your limits and use heal also in key moments to put burning to finish (if enemy in 25% hp)
skill rotations:
p/d
cnd+steal -> sneak attack -> shadow strike – basic rotation with venom or without
to prevent heal or skill use you can stun with basilisk or swap to s/p and hs or pw -> bp and aa to cover conditions or just PW twice
use utilities if need initiative or defense moves and steal again
if venom recharge just PW with skale venom and swap to p/d to basic rotation and basilisk venom
use heal when need with withdraw forward or dodge forward and withdraw backward
use s/p set to control your enemy with #2+#3 if he blink/teleport or stun break
there are many rotations to use here base on the situation
if you find yourself against good player like necro you can just SS away
also you still can contribute to your party with aoe burning and bleeding and 2 boons sharing every 21 seconds
soon i will post short tutorial and later I will test it the following week and hope you like it and test it yourself
