Overview

A condition DPS build for Antiquary.

As a Thief, it has excellent out-of-combat utility for speeding up fractals and raids.


Skill Bar

Scepter/Dagger
Utility


Weapon Variants

The nature of initiative means that you rarely use more than one weapon, so there are a number of options:

  • For players that only own Visions of Eternity, Dagger/Dagger is the best option.
  • If you own Janthir Wilds, Spear is the strongest weapon, though it is needs to be in melee range, and is significantly more complicated to use. It is worth keeping Scepter/Dagger in the second set to give you a strong ranged option when necessary.
  • You can bring an offhand Pistol to have CC available on swap.

Support

All your Scepter skills can be used with an allied target to provide AoE barrier and boons. This is a DPS loss, but can be used to save people if a healer isn't going to (particularly helpful on the tank).
