Guild Wars 2

I just noticed tooltip description cooldown and in-game cooldown aren’t same with/without Malicious Sorcery, Illusionist Celerity, or both trait.
I tested iCounter with/without trait. Let’s see this pic. This shows iCounter cooldown time. iCounter cooldown 8s is only when it ends without blocking with Malicious Sorcery.
Mesmer got Scepter skill buff, but it won’t work with trait.

Wow, I didn’t expect so much response. Ty for all feedback!

Pyroatheist.9031:

So, to maximize condie damage for real, you’ll need to go full dire 0/0/25/20/25

I don’t really know if you want to do that, but there you go.

Let me explain my playstyle. I mainly play wvw as solo/small group roaming (almost solo camp capping. fight other player is rare.)

After Queen’s Jubilee patch(torment added), I have decided to make torment/confusion focused condition build. Getting more condition damage, torment more powerful.

In fact, this build is version 2.0. Version 1.0 is carrion spec gear, 20/0/0/20/30, Scepter/Torch and Scepter/Focus, rune of perplexity, confusion stacking build like this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgMQRArf7dl0zipXUzgGb9IxJFQX6oeA+qzdSKM9rB-jECB4MC00CAUHhOFqIasl1FRjVzATHjIq2YWISKAYmGB-w

I ran version 1.0 build in wvw for a while, and noticed that damage output depends on enemy aggressiveness. Though solo camp capping was really easy, killing pack dolyak was a bit hard.

Heinel.6548:

Mesmer cannot take advantage of condition damage without sharper images and high crit.

This is why I change carrion to rabid.

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A FUN BUILD INCLUDING A FEW PROS AND MANY CONS.

--- Summary ---
Hi. I’m trying to get highest condition damage w/o might boon stacking.
Here is my build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgMQRAra7dl0zKqHWzgGb9IxJFRX6oecdv/9SKwduB-jkCBYhBEnJyINI0CRmkGIHqIas11FRjVdDTHjIq2YWISKAYmGB-w

0/20/0/20/30
Scepter/Pistol, Scepter/Focus
All rabid weapon/gear/trinket, condition damage rune, food and crystal.

note:
Sigils of Weapon Set #1
- Superior Sigil of Bursting(+6% Condition Damage)
- Major Sigil of Bursting(+5% Condition Damage)
Superior and Major Sigil of Bursting provides +11% condition damage.

So, I got 2879 condition damage with these buffs.
- Signet of Domination (+180)
- Corruption 25stack (+250)
- Guard Leech 5stack (+100)
- Superior Bloodlust (+150)
In the future, I’ll replace defensive infusion slot backitem to offensive, and maximizing DAG (Vit +250 = Condition Damage +10).

Any advice for getting more condtion damage would be greatly appreciated.

--- Pros and Cons ---
Pros
- Don’t need to "hit them hard, keep hitting". Just place iDuelist/iWarden and use blocking, then flee.
- Deadly amount of condition damage(torment, bleed, confusion).
- Good for Solo/Small group roaming, 1v1 fight(esp. melee fighter), camp capping.

Cons
- Depending on torment, bleed stacking damage, But easy to remove.
- Lack of condition removal, survivability.
- Useless at fight against 1vX, ZvZ, (insert your favorite class/build).
- and more...

--- Tweaking Build ---
I currently use rune of Torment, but I prefer rune of Perplexity. Utility skills(except signet of domination) and elite skill are flexible. Decoy, Veil and Mass Invisiblity allows survivability. Feedback, Null field, Time Warp grants more confusion stack. Yes, Polymorph moa is MUST DIE COMBO with torment(but hard to apply...).

EDIT: I put some demonstration video clip
Solo Camp Capping
Duel - vs War
Duel - vs Grd

hi.
I use very similar build for solo camp/small group roaming.
my build has some problem about survivability(lack of condition removal), but this is so fun.
Polymorph Moa with Torment, Bleed stacking -> YOU DIE.

protip:
Superior Sigil of Bursting and Major Sigil of Bursting will increase condition damage +11%.
I hit 2600 condition damage without might stack.
