Guild Wars 2

Mesmer condition builds aren’t necessarily tanky. I wouldn’t call this build tanky. The Dueling trait line encourages looking for an opportunity to unleash a quick string of attacks and then dancing around your opponent to avoid damage while on cooldown. Rabid works for this playstyle because Dueling traits trigger on crits.

A bunker condition build works differently. Trait points are spent in Inspiration rather than Dueling. Boons play a bigger role in this build to mitigate damage while conditions eat away at the health of opponents. You have to be a lot more careful with Shatters and thus the burst damage is limited. In exchange, this build has more party support.

Can anyone explain why you would want to use this skill? It doesn’t seem very useful to me.
