Overview

Condition Daredevil is a very strong open world build with high uptime of i-frames through its ability to spam dodges. In addition, it has relatively high DPS if near allies and can bring very high amounts of sustain when needed. Its relatively simple rotation makes it a strong option even for new players, though its reliance on abilities that force movement can be disorienting at first.

Variant Equipment

Gear

  • Celestial Celestial - alternative to Viper Viper with lower DPS but higher sustain.
  • Trailblazer Trailblazer - trades a small amount of damage for a massive boost to defense.
  • Rabid Rabid - budget; use with Rune of Superior Rune of the Afflicted, Sigil of Superior Sigil of Agony, and Sigil of Superior Sigil of Venom.


Runes

Several different rune sets work with this build; prioritize runes that provide boosts to Bleeding and Poison, or otherwise flat condition duration. Below are some of the stronger examples:

  • Rune of Superior Rune of the Afflicted - budget DPS
  • Rune of Superior Rune of the Mad King - higher burst, lower peak DPS
  • Rune of Superior Rune of the Adventurer - defense


Sigils

  • Sigil of Superior Sigil of Energy - defensive option that also provides some offense

Usage

Damage

With this build, damage and defense are intrinsically tied together via Death Blossom. Any time you need to dodge, you can use Death Blossom or Lotus Training to both deal damage and evade. With that in mind, you have a wide variety of options to deal damage with depending on the situation:

  1. Spamming Death Blossom and Lotus Training to avoid damage and output significant bleed, torment, and poison damage.
  2. Using Dancing Dagger to attack from range.

In general there are two major rules:

  1. Dodge often to proc Lotus Training
  2. Try not to interrupt your auto-attack chains as the 3rd hit is a significant portion of your damage.

As a final tip, try to whirl through fields to create various bolts.


General Rotation

As a general rotation, consult the following:

  1. Cast Thieves Guild
  2. Cast venoms
  3. Alternate Lotus Training and Death Blossom.

Fill empty space with basic attacks and cast venoms off cooldown.

You can control the direction of the dodge with your movement keys, but keep in mind that Death Blossom cannot be controlled and will always whirl through the target. Alternatively, you can disable auto targetting, and unselect your target to manually control Death Blossom


Defense

  • The best defense is to dodge attacks, and this build has numerous evades. Learn to recognize dangerous attacks and respond to them.
  • Stealing gives you back a dodge thanks to Endurance Thief.
  • Thief and Daredevil offer various stunbreaks, such as Haste, Bandit's Defense, and Shadowstep. It is advised to take one of these, as CC is what will usually kill you.
  • You can go into stealth via Cloak and Dagger to remove threat, break enemy targeting, and reposition yourself. Follow it up with a Backstab if using gear with power like Viper Viper or Celestial Celestial.


Crowd Control

  • Basilisk Venom
  • Choking Gas
  • Headshot (if running a spare pistol offhand)


Video Examples

Cele DD vs Nightthistle Bloom

  • A great example of the Celestial Celestial build in action against one of the hardest hero points.

Onlywrin gave this build 5 stars • May 2021
Condi thief is a ridiculously fun build that sees high effectiveness in open world. With some of the recent changes, it now has considerable damage in open world, and the possibility of running Viper or Cele gear while maintaining crit-healing via IP makes it hard to kill.
