I have a full set of Berserker gear for PvE and a Rabid set for WvW.
I absolutely love this build and I’m surprised there isn’t more attention to it on the forums. My only issue with the build are the sigils. I’m currently running Earth on staff and Earth / Hydromancy on scepter / torch. The earth procs are definitely interfering with the hydromancy which can be annoying when it’s one of the build’s only reliable ways to slow people down that are trying to get away. I thought about using the stacking condition damage sigils but I feel they take too long to get a full stack and then it’s so easy to lose it.
FLIMP, I’m curious if you think the upcoming culling changes (aka nerf of stealth) will affect the build because of how much invis usage is required to survive against large groups of players (1v4+).
It’s a shame that dungeons are all about speed clears and making money. I cleared SE path 2 last night for the first time and the last boss was a great challenge and a lot of fun.
That’s nonsense. For starters, a staff clone is better than iMage for condition build (on top of being “un-missable”). Moreover, iMage won’t benefit from a number of powerful confusion duration increases that benefit the toon. Finally, the retaliation part has no synergy.
It’s a very weak phantasm.
Math isn’t nonsense.
All an enemy needs to do with my condition damage build is to cast once to do about the same damage as my iWarlock (1000-1200 damage).
If the enemy casts more than one ability (often) or if I catch Retaliation (fairly often, I’m usually within 600m range when I swap to the Torch), it will do a lot more than iWarlock.

Do you know what math is? iWarlock is AWFUL for condition builds, for one very simple reason, it scales off of power, which a lot of conditions builds just don’t have because, you know, they’re using CONDITION DAMAGE, which is another reason to use iMage.
For my condtion build the only thing my iWarlock is good for is being a meat shield and shatter fodder, the iMage on the other hand i’m always reluctant to get rid of due to how much damage the confusion and retal do in combination with my burning, bleeding, poison, and other stacks of confusion.
You guys are focusing so much on math you’re failing reading comprehension. He said CLONE and not iWarlock. Referring to staff clones stacking random conditions.
