Overview
Condi variant of Daredevil - Boon Daredevil. This raid build provides 100% uptime on Might, Quickness, Fury, Protection, Regeneration, Vigor, Resolution and very high uptimes on Stability, Aegis and Resistance.
Boon Daredevil only functions on bosses that provide Detonate Plasma. Compared to power, this build provides more DPS, but due to its high ramp-up time it's best used on raid bosses with no phases.
Thus, it is likely you will only run it at Matthias Gabrel or Mursaat Overseer.

Note: Celestial gear will increase your toughness, but as this build is mostly viable at bosses without toughness tanking, it is largely a non-issue.
