i would say we are pretty good in dungeons. I’m lvl 50 now and doing daily AC runs.

We dont deal big numbers of dmg but we can outlast everyone of the team and still deal pretty much dmg.

i’m running a bleeding build i made myself

i’m able to get about 20 stacks of bleeding on my target and while i have all 3 of my iDualists out i try to support my group.
my bleeding procs for about 30 atm in AC (30 × 20 = 600dps) and i would say this is above the average in ac, but i’m not sure.
If i want i can even stack 15-20 stacks of confusion on my target to get some more dps.

I use portals most of the time to help ppl avoid traps and support newbies.

Timewarp is awesome on bosses. Everone nearly doubles his dps inside of this bubble!

But(!) i dont know how this build works in later instance. I think it will run okay – good but i’m not sure. It depents on how fast your phantasm die.

If Concidtion dmg isnt something for you, you can try a mantra support build.

after some testing on the golems in sPVP i’ll take this one

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgEQNAW7alwzipnTTqGaNJh5DE/8hojSx19eJF4O3A;TEAzPA

20 Points Duelling:
II and IX for more Crits and more iDuelists
15 Points Chaos:
III for 20% less CD on Blink and 5 extra points for perm Protection from out Phantasms
15 Points Inspiration:
V for giving our iDuelist some more Life and Regeneration for the whole group
20 Points in Illusions:
V and X for longer Confusion and even more Phantasm spamming

In fights i try to keep 3 iDuelists up. Normaly i’ll get about 14-18 Bleeding Stacks and if i use Null Field even some nice Confusion Stacking (about 8-12 Stacks (yeah i know, confusion isnt really good in pve, but why dont use it if it is for free?))
Together with perm Regeneration and Protection we can take some hits.

I’ve tested bleeding stacking with a GS but like already said it is pretty bad.
The Bleeding on Crits lasts till the iDuelist attacks again, so we can keep our stacks pretty easy

torch or focus for wvw confusion

combine iduellist with a aether combo field…there you got your confusion

i would say torch is more for zerg vs zerg while focus is more for sieges

Sure perfectly in normal PVE, but they are pretty hard to stack in dungeons.

I thought about going Rabits Runes and 5% Crit Chance Runes in the weapons if they stack

If not maybe Bloodduration? (Still down know how long the bleedings last)

this helps a lot.

but one more question now. GS Clones use the normal Attack, so 3 Hits…might it be possible to use them for getting some crazy bleeding?

20 clones, now where is my mind wrack

Hayho,

i’m building a condition build for some days now.

How i’m at the part where i think i might not be able to stack enought bleeding stacks on my enemy.

I think there are 2 Options for a PVE – Dungeon Condition Build

1. Using Illusions VII (One more Bounce) and build up 3 Klones with the Staff. Everyone (including yourself) would hit an enemy (at his best) 2 times (1 Autohit, Bounce to friendly target, then bounce against to the enemy right?)
Using this you dont need other Illusions.

2. Using Phantasms to get a Bleed on Crit. I would put at least 15 Points into Duelling and get II (Phantasm Furry). So each time my Pistol Phantasm Crits it puts a Bleeding Effect on my enemy.

So my Questions:
1. Do Illusions get Sigils from weapons? (Chance of 60% to Bleed someone on Crit)
2. Clons and Phantasms are both Illusions?
3. Illusions get only Stats from Traits?
3. What Runes would you Use?
4. Do GS Clones get 3 Chances per Attack to apply Bleeding?
5. How long does the Trait: Bleed on Crit last?

Atm i have a mix of both of them, but i think there are way better ways to get some Condition DMG in Dungeons going
