What i linked is the perfect situation. Even if it isn’t a perfect situation the sword / torch + lb swapping is not even remotely close. My view on this topic is on raids. Not on open world. In raids you can expect where a boss will move so you can even line up the firefields on f1 longbow in that path.
If you don’t agree with longbow being better then that’s your own choice but i’ve looked at both perfect situations and not perfect situations and both times longbow camping was better.
If you have any proof it’s not please share because i would love to see this.
I won’t be surprised if we see condi warriors is raid setups.
I’ve been playing just longbow with only Torch 4 and 5 with opener. You can see the dmg here: http://www.twitch.tv/chevsya/v/24483076. I haven’t seen any build with weapon swap to sword + torch that will beat it.
Because you only use longbow you don’t need the 100% duration on bleeds and you can grab instead of agony sigil you can take a bursting sigil what gives more condi damage. Geomancy won’t work because you don’t swap weapons at all.
Currently i have 99.73% burning duration and 3/6 sinister 3/6 viper. Trinkets sinister and weapons viper. Bleeding is 79.73% but that doens’t matter too much because it’s not great damage either way compared to burning.
I personally don’t see a reason why to play sword + torch / lb instead of lb camping. LB camping is always ranged and puts out more condi dmg.
@Paulash. Condi damage and full zeker warrior shine in different moments so it will depend on what you play. Longer fights probably condi. Shorter fight full zerker warrior.
So i’ve been testing with condi warrior for the last couple days. I run full viper and berserker runes. On weapons 20% burning and bleeding infliction sigils (maybe malice is better then bleeding sigil).
I think LB + sword / torch is almost as equal dmg compared to just LB camping. With LB + sword / torch you can go for quickness 100% uptime under 50% health bar opponent. This probably pulls ahead of LB camping. But let’s say when you have a mesmer that is providing alacrity and quickness for you i think LB camping is better.
With the berserker trait Smash brawler and Alacrity your berserk mode only has 5sec cooldown. I managed to do 5 Sorched earth in 1 berserk with a bit of alacrity! If you have full alacrity in the whole berserk time you can land 6 if you are a keyboard hero.
With LB camping you can also run with 2 banners, Elite banner and phalanx strength. Where if you run with Elite banner and utility banners (Discipline and Strength) on LB + sword / torch you lose out on head butt and outrage (assuming your first utility skill pick is shattering blow) what’s quite a dps loss.
I feel like with LB + sword / torch your dmg isn’t that consistent because you have quite a big down time on dmg while berserk is off. With just LB camping this isn’t really the case because of spamming 1.
My rotation:
http://www.twitch.tv/chevsya/v/24483076. LB spam haha. Almost 22k burning.
Any thoughts or feedback would be nice.
Either way Condi warrior is very strong!
