If thats the case, have you thought about Greatsword, i think the Zerker will do more damage in a zerg then you TRYING to use Blurred Frenzy or you just wanting to get a few clones out?. The problem with that plan is GETTING into that zerg with all the slow down and the AoE about you as you say die fast.
Most zergs (if they are any good) wont have any problems out healing the damage done by low condition based damage conditions.
Confusion is a Meh condition, even with my condition damage it still is pretty poor. I would also take MORE damage and less time on conditions then less damage and more time
I never said zerg, Its a group roaming build rather then a zerg build or even solo, if I’m going to zerg I might as well use my glamour build. And believe me confusion is more effective then one might think. I’ve been playing with it a ton since the patch and it can certainly out do many conditions if you can get high enough stacks going, which is easily done with this build.

The point of this build is to run in and do a relatively effective shatter combo with the prestige and sword and mirror images, then to follow that with a roll or 2 and drop a cry of frustration, which stacks a lot of confusion and burning which will drop people like a rock, so is a shatter / condition build, I tried it with pretty much full zerker with great success but found it died to fast in group fights so i’m trying to work some defense into it which is were I’m running into problems. Because I eather end up going to far with the defense so I don’t have enough attack or not far enough and I might as well be full zerker.

I’m currently theory crafting a build but I cant quite get the stats where I want them, it ether ends up lacking to much suitability or ends up lacking to much damage, if some one could help me find a good middle ground that would be nice.
For what I want from it the traits and the weapons are pretty much set in stone, but the stats on the gear and runes are up for debate, keep in mind it is a hybrid power and condition build and is pretty much a hidden fire kind of build.
I like the play style I just can’t get the damage and survival where I want it.
PRAISE GEESUS
Ehem. a class should not be able to reset a fight till the other player makes a mistake or their Cool downs give out, I have a problem with nothing else, just increase the cool down on shadow refuge, I find it out outlandishly powerful for a non-elite and is more powerful the mesmer’s mass invis with a much longer stealth time, If the thief has any capacities to dodge and stealth it will survive logn enough for shadow refuge and just reset the fight from there. You could say “just aoe it” but not all classes have the ability to do even medium aoe damage with certain weapon sets and to expect certain classes to use certain weapons just so they can kill a thief when one pops up would be just stupid.
PRAISE GEESUS
Err.. I find if a thief is worth their kitten and some times even if they are not they are not bothered by conditions really. This is coming from a condition mesmer, they have far to much access it to it and it doesn’t cost them to much to get to it. since I rely on high condition burst if they stealth at all with their condition wipes on stealth I cant really compete.
the condis wipe one at a time, every 3 seconds. a necro condi burst will still destroy a stealthed thief that relies only on stealth cleanse.
plus, condi was never meant to be a burst thing, but rather sustained damage over time.
That depends on how you use it, I do a small amount of conditions, short duration but sky high damage and large stacks, I think that qualify as burst. You said it was never meant to be used that way, but that doesn’t mean it cant. And since it relies on a single condition for that damage a small but often wipe that is stupid effective against it.

Had fun with FC a little bit ago inside of Sunnyhill! I was the engineer on top that none of you could kill, or for some reason CC. Killed about 7 of you before I got bored & decided to leave, cute effort building that AC just for me though <3
Nice to hear that AR is aware that any fight where FC doesn’t have a 10:1 lead is a fight FC won’t win.
I wish I had the video from the other night where 10+ FC rushed a tower and my guild leader and I survived long enough to kill 6 of them before they killed us and capped it. Out numbered grossly and you guys.. it was… dem badges man.
Hmmm…. and this is why I can beat most GoM in my support build?
PRAISE GEESUS
same to Zombieland
Yeah, that was a joke, everyone on our side knew it was a joke and treated it as not much more than a joke.
No one on our side was practiced, nor geared, nor traited, nor did we have the best mix of classes. What other outcome could there be?
Brag when you beat a group that practices organized GvG.
That is funny because we have beaten a group that practices organized GvG. Ask DDLG, despite a good effort from their end we beat them 5 to 4.
PRAISE GEESUS
I don’t know, but I have yet to see a server play for second harder than FC. I guess what I mean is, why attack anywhere else but the second place server. I swear if any FC ever complains about getting attacked from AR down the road in this match up I’m just going to reply with this pic.
That is Interesting, if you haven’t notice we have been attacking GoM all day long. They put up a good defense and we didn’t succeed in taking as much of their stuff as yours. so it might seem we are playing for second but its your lack of defense.

sure is funny to see a losing server telling the winning server to learn some tactics. Just saying
Sure is funny how the winning server thinks it has better tactics because its winning. Winning because of numbers does not equal better tactics.
PRAISE GEESUS
GoM your Zergs are much larger the any I have seen on FC for a long long long time. also lacks any tactics from what I’ve seen its basically: IT MOVES OR IT HAS DOORS, SWARM IT! KILL IT WITH NUMBERS!
PRAISE GEESUS
err… if your having problems with Mesmers, its your own fault, We are easy to fight if you know what to do. If you think that torment bull kitten was a buff, I laugh at you, Its on one of our worst weapons, and on a block, which makes it unreliable. We also got handed a large number of nerf and anet continues to try to shove a build no one wants to use in our face. Come again.
PRAISE GEESUS
To FC’s [DETH]..You guys have botters within your guild. Same 3 guys running the same exact path and combos when they " fight". Spent 6 hours just watching them and farming badges. Just a warning and stuff, They have been reported anyways.
We are currently looking into it. I’m not in much of a position to make any promises, but assume they will be at the very least put on probation.

would be a better match up if GoM would stop hiding in their towers with stupid amounts of siege just to camp a spawn
PRAISE GEESUS
the match up with FC GOM and ET is really bad right now FC and ET cant compete with GOM’s high population, FC could compete with IoJ or DR and IoJ were some what equals allowing FC some breathing room but with the 2 lowest population servers vs. what used to be a high tier 7 server, we are overwhelmed.
PRAISE GEESUS
bumping~ very interesting idea
PRAISE GEESUS
a little hesitant?
If they pushed they could have kill us.
PRAISE GEESUS
Hod.. plz… get less rangers…. so.. many ARROWS.
PRAISE GEESUS
Wow that was one heck of a zerg you had their HoD… almost took QL.
PRAISE GEESUS
I hate to do this but… FIRST!
PRAISE GEESUS
I stood in horror watching FC march 20+ golems towards our Henge controlled Stonemist, but turns out I had nothing to worry about. They broke down the outer gate then got decimated going to the inner. Quite a waste of money. Still, makes for some nice pictures.
yah… we don’t know who put them down, we just built them and march them on Stonemist, must be some high roller. We built them and marched them on SM… why? cus we could!
PRAISE GEESUS
sooo…. many.. HOD you where zerging ever Bls at the same time, while keeping up the numbers to block attacks on your own…. and out numbering our Ferg zerg in EB. Fun, but discouraging.
