Overview

Condition Mirage is a very powerful build for open world which can swap between two playstyles with ease: Kiting with Staff or bursting targets down using Axe/X.

Staff

Staff Mirage is a slow-paced kiting build that deals low DPS and has a relaxed playstyle.

Axe/X

Axe Mirage is a very active, fast-paced DPS build that deals moderate to high DPS but is typically restricted to melee range engagements.

Choosing a Weapon Set

Choosing the right weapon set for the situation is critical with this build. Staff can be used against enemies which deal high DPS in order to kite. Axe can be used against weaker enemies that die faster. Scepter should seldomly be used, but can provide very high single-target DPS at range against mobile enemies.

Pros

• Very strong defense via Staff kiting
• Tormenting Runes with Axe bring insane sustain
• Can swap playstyles quickly and easily for variety.

Cons

• Staff has extremely low DPS, even with glass cannon gear.
• Axe/X is restricted to melee.
• Clone management can be a huge pain
• Gear can be quite expensive
