AintGold.5128 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hiya So I'm planning to start collecting eq for both raids and fractals. But I'm lazy so I wanted to get one eq set to start. So I thought alacrity should be good because it's in demand everywhere. But I found there are 2 varieties. Power variant and condi variant. So I would like to know which one will work for both raids and fractals. And maybe also in a strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susana.7814 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) power will work fine but it will end up being overall slightly lower dps. The upside is it's far easier to play than the condi build. Personally id go with power. Edited August 17, 2021 by susana.7814 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeolus.3615 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Power is nice with Shiro trait for m8 boost Can reach very close to 100% on diviner stats. something like a invocation, assassin, renegade.

morsdood.1987 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Condi for more damage, Power for more utility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahkeus.8243 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Power fits most situations the easiest. Condi could be done with celestial or viper's and the most ideal way to go will likely depend on group comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genjonah.1253 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Power is a little easier, but condi tends to do more damage especially to multiple enemies However, another thing to take into account is your personal aesthetics. I do power much more often than is most effective because I love using my Shining Blade/Bolt combo. Both are completely viable even in meta if you know what you’re doing, so do you like slicing people or bashing them with a mace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianTheAngelic.7054 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Condi is generally higher damage especially in weaker groups, but Power has a bit more utility and if you need/want it it has higher burst. Since most fractal comps are running condi nowadays I'm running Condi for fractals for the extra damage generally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabbitUp.8294 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Keep in mind condi requires hard to acquire gear and runes and is harder to play. But if you play wvw, you will have use of it outside of raids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thon.3780 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I think it depend on your play style. power - it is pure brute close combat +strong cc condi- control style. Switch between mid- close combat , I don’t don’t you will frequently shot bow in close combat . So it need more practice but it worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brynioch.1873 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Solo Condi Alacrigade doesn't exist outside of fractals. You can play with two condi renegades with RR, or power for solo alacrity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It deals a respectable 30k and provides perma 10 man alacrityhttps://snowcrows.com/builds/revenant/renegade/condition-alacrity-renegade Edited September 9, 2021 by LucianTheAngelic.7054 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
