Condition+Toughness Build

My understanding is as it stands now Phantasm wise staff warlock seems to be the best operating phantasm -yes or no?

I came up with a build -probably done a hundred times before- that focuses on high toughness and high condition damage and ask any feedback.

0/0/25/25/20 Staff / Scepter+Focus
Decoy / Phantasmal Disenchanter / Sig of Domi / Time Warp

17,582 HP
1910 Toughness
1449 Condition Damage
35% Crit
916 Power

Edit: I changed the neck from Rabid to Shaman since I doubt crit matters and the extra healing is always welcome:

Healing: 894
Toughness: 2,189
Condition dmg: 1,184

This is pretty much the build I am currently using. Sure you do not kill things as fast, usually, but you can survive for fkn ages. Also if people insist on attacking with the confusions stacks they can sometimes die almost instantly.
Few differences.

21, 948 HP
1,410 Power
1,359 Precision
1,739 Toughness
1,044 Condition DMG.

Using the same trait setup. 0/0/25/25/20 Staff / Scepter+Focus.
Decoy/Mirror Images/Blink/Time Warp

I usually use TW to kill enemies who are downed as fast as possible or res team mates fast.

This is the funnest build I have tried so far.

Get off. Guardians are bloody OP in WvW atm. You seriously need a nerf. Theives don’t scare me, mesmers don’t scare me. Only guardians. Somehow you guys with some certain build can burst me down fsater than any theif. And With all the guardians innate survivability you can’t be killed either. Stop whining about guardians. You guys are OP atm. Enjoy it.

They have annnounced they are working on fixing culling but what if it is never fixed. This is a server/engine limitation. It is possible that they will reduce it but never fix it.

The engine is software. Software can be changed. Being a engine limitation does not mean it is set in stone.

In my opinion, portal is ruining the game

Well yeah… we are supposed to be in WvW with our PvE gear. Working as intended.

Seriously. People are just mad and they look for something to blame.
Everyone else is blaming portals so I might just do that too.

“Waaahhh, portal OP. Nerf them.” Yay, I am part of the group now.

Also, this whole BS able only party members being able to use the portal goes against what Anet wanted this game to be. If this is the case then make it so no support skills work on anyone unless they are in your party.

All phantasms now utterly broken.

If this is intended… wtf.
Let’s make it so ALL classes’ skills do nothing for two seconds then.

Awesome fight

Yeah, we were lucky to be uninterrupted. Just after I died though a few people from the other server came rolling in.

Stats for Sword/Torch build?

Posted by: Saraneth.6021

Saraneth.6021

nobody uses torch…. The other offhands do a TON more for you

I beg to differ. I started using scepter/torch in WvW last week and the ease in which I can kill people has greatly increased. I have more damage and I can survive better.

So people do use torches. I am guessing most people just don’t know how to use them effectively.

I play a Mesmer on SoS. Had my best fight today against a Ele in WvW. Fight went on for a good 8-10 minutes with me losing in the end.
Even though I lost though, it was an amazing fight. Both of us just refusing to die.
Never come across a Ele with that much regen before.

Just had to post this here to say thanks Eles. Give me more fights like that

Yeah you gain an advantage for spending more money.
Kind of like people who buy gems and trade them for gold gain an advantage for spending more money…

FYI, chat filter does not mean you can say what you want!

There is a report function for verbal abuse, not for general swearing. If you do not want to see general swearing there is a filter for that. Why in gods name would you turn it off if you are going to take offence to some bad words?

Hardly. It is just another jumping puzzle. Game is full of them.

Na, pretty sure being able to jump over the wall is intentional. I mean the game is full of jumping puzzles. This is just another one.

It is still happening to him. Also seems that it is being ignored if this thread is anything to go by.

It is just ridiculous the rewards you get for completing any dungeon now. It really is not worth the repair cost.
I will buy gems from you Anet. Always planned to. Making changed like this actually makes me have 2nd thoughts about it though.

For about 3 weeks now my brother has not been able to receive mail from other players in game. He has sent a few bug reports about it but is starting to think that he is being ignored.
I am hoping I get a response here so I can show him you are looking into it.

Cheers

I am playing staff phantasmal build. Stats are Pres/Con/Power is that order. Have used it in Orr and most dungeons and it does work well.
