silverfox.1056 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I've recently exhausted myself making several different builds for power and support/healing capabilities. I've found a lot of interesting synergies with different types of builds and I was curious as to what the condition damage side of spectrum can offer. The only real condi-build I've tried is D/D condi-tempest, which I think has a lot of fun synergies and huge condi bomb potential with the Earth 5. The only down side is the obvious fact that you have to in extremely close range the pull off the necessary condition dps. So my question is, is there a fun ranged condi spec? Or a more valued melee condi spec?To specify, I'm looking for something that could be considered equally viable in WVW and PVE content, I don't care so much about PVP.So what does everyone recommend?

silverfox.1056 Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 I have also tried scourge, but I personally hate the playstyle so I didn't stay but maybe a hour on it. Condi P/P Scrapper looks like fun, but I have no idea if its still viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjam.8634 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hey I’ll chime in with the little bit that I know (which is very little) but for PvE I believe Condi Soulbeast is very good, not sure how it is in WvW. I think the Soulbeast uses shortbow and d/d with traps for utility. I was looking at it before the most recent balance patch and on snow crows the rotation seemed pretty straightforward. I didn’t pursue it because I still prefer power dps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saerni.2584 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Condi P/D thief in core/dd/de variations are fun imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lahmia.2193 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 For Pve, I've found condi berserker (warrior) and condi soulbeast the most fun and useful. Both are fairly easy to play and bring strong party buffs, with good dps, whilst also performing well if forced to attack at range with longbow and shortbow respectively.

Rhyse.8179 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 The most fun is definitely a corruption/condi/reaper. Unfortunately, anet nerfed that into the ground to force people to buy POF, so even though it's a blast it's not viable.A Burn Firebrand hasn't been mentioned. It can put out some jaw-dropping condi bursts, while also giving lots of party buffs. No good ranged option for it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand where its coming from. Tho despite Anet reverting back to how torment and confusion ticks, its still one of the strongest pve condi builds these days. The confusion on the axe has been changed to torment. So that is your main condition now. Condi mirage can single handedly stack over 50 stacks of torment, which is building up the high damage. Guilds like [sC] benched around 35k dps with the build on a testing golem. Given how Torment (and confusion) function, or mirage itself mechanically works. You should easily out dps any other class in an actual case.Long story short. Its still a very solid build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not using the Mesmer condtion anymore just feels wrong and kills my desire to play the build.I'm weird like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
