Food
- - great overall stat boost and damage mitigation.
- and other similar Oyster consumables are fairly cheap on the Trading post if you don't have ascended cooking.
- - better endurance regen, more access to dodging (and thus better condition cleansing too with Salvation).
- - slightly worse endurance regen than that of the Orrian Truffle food, but the constant healing ensures effortless permanent uptime.
Utility
- Optimal: or , whichever is cheaper (the difference beween them is negligible, a grand total of 2 condition damage stat in favor of Tuning Icicle).
- Budget: either from Canned Food Crates found in WvW s or purchased from the Permanent Portable Provisioner.
Usage
To be added
Ratings
The addition of Spear and the rework of Retribution made this build a lot stronger. Really high burst damage as well as sustained damage, good sustain, decent mobility. The Cele nerfs almost can't be felt since base condi durations were already so high and the boon uptime is still top tier.
It's okay but wouldn't put it in the top 10 as far as cele builds go. Damage is too frontloaded into torment, even lower cleanse specs can sometimes hold out for a long time with only Cleansing sigil procs and evasion because condi variety is often not that great. I'd give it a 3-4 for solo roaming but a 5 for groups actually, demon stance can support the team and pull enemies together to be pummeled, or weaken cele specs with boon removal. In groups maybe I'd even play it with centaur stance instead of dragon and go more supportish but maybe that's just me.
