Low Intensity DPS Condition Virtuoso
Update Warning: June 27, 2023
A few changes to skills used in this build were in this update, particularly to Dagger 2 & 3. It is ultimately an AoE buff, dealing more damage in situations where there are adds. The build has been adjusted.
The videos below are pre-update. They will help for rotation, but numbers may be inaccurate.
This message will self-descruct when I get around to it.
Description
This build was shared with me from a member of a friend’s static. It’s a pretty nice 3-button virtuoso build that has some significant utility flexibility to accommodate handling of raid/strike mechanics.
Take special attention with the gearing, it’s less straightforward that most.
Rotation
No need for weapon swap. You only spam Dagger and Dagger .
Note that Dagger is ground-targeted as of June 27
Whenever you have 5 blades you cast or .
If you want to increase DPS you can cast the elite: or if you are stocked with blades and both and are on cooldown.
Note that is no longer a block as of June 27
Don’t bother casting phantasms since there are no traits improving them.
- Blocks: You have 3 blocks always available since they are not part of the rotation, , Sword ,
- CC: Sword , , , Torch (requires weapon swap)
- Stun Break: Signet of Midnight is a stun break and it’s always available since it’s not part of the rotation
Features
- Every time you press an F skill you gain Stability for 5s so you basically have perma stability.
- If you want to increase damage by a small amount you can swap Blink to Rain of Swords and also use Torch4.
- 3% of your condition damage is recovered as heal and every time you create a blade you gain 350 health (Signet of Ether).
Alternative Off-Hand Weapons
Since you don’t need to cast any skills from the off-hand weapon for the basic rotation, you can use any off-hand weapon, such as Focus for pulls or Sword for blocks.
Additional Notes
Food is important to get to 60% precision, with Fury you get to 100% crit chance. Your DPS is drastically affected if your Fury uptime is not 100%. Try not to press any other buttons if you are not sure how the build works because your dps might actually drop, it’s literally just those 4 buttons (2, 3, F1, F2) and elite if you want to.
