Distracting Strikes dungeon/boss fight build?
Completely unviable because condition dmg.
mkay. how bout for Pvp then
How viable is a distracting strikes build in Pve?
….very poor it’s condtion damage which you will have to spec for and even with out spec using it as bonus damage how often do you (interrupt) a boss. ’ve seen it done a few but sure as hell not worth using that trait.
pvp very viable very punishing if used right. it forces the opponent to take a chill pill or recive bonus damage and can be used to catch another person off guard the trick is however actually interrupting someone.
pve conditions just suck horribly since they cap way too early. (kind of suck if your dps stopped every 25k damage all other damage was void and this would be for a entire party.)
sadly this is the life of a condition warrior in pve. so frankly although I prefer and main a condtion warrior I go with a power based build for pve.

There are interesting condi builds with Ma/Sw and Sw/Sh that use guardian runes to still keep the burn you miss not having LB. you also have a kitten ton of blocks.
i never really bothered with guardian runes much. i’ve used them like a couple times, but never noticed much burn. does it have an icd? Runes like that are a bit wonky, ya know? Like rune of the Baelfire, rune of balthazar, rune of the fire, rune of the earth maybe rune of svanir, rune of the afflicted, rune of the air…i’ve experimented with pretty much all those kind of runes and some of them are decent with the right build, but it’s kinda…meh… ya know?

It doesn’t have an ICD, and the burn is applied each time the message “blocked” pops up on your screen. If you time it right you can get a TON of AoE burn

but I’m pretty sure there’s a cap on burn duration. i tried maximizing burn duration with scepter and it caps at like 50 secs or so,but that’s still a really long time and the tics will still do decent damage depending on condition damage.
