One of the slowest ramping DPS builds in the game, and long-term damage isn't that high either. But it makes up for it by being fully ranged and so being easy to maintain high DPS uptime on, and bringing a good level of QoL from shades and utility skills.
With the recent changes to Torment, it has gained quite a bit of boost in DPS as many bosses do not move. This boost has brought Condi Scourge on par with many other builds. While it is still on the lower end of the damage, it is a more viable build to run now. It is easy to run for beginners and gives them an opportunity to experience condition damage playstyle, without lacking far behind. In proper statics, other condi's such as Renegade still outperform by a mile in terms of damage.
Additionally, it has a nice utility built-in. Players can provide a barrier to ease a little load off of druids during various high damage pressure such as Gorseval's Ghastly Rampage.
A great condition DPS build. In disorganized groups the utility brought by this build is often life-saving and worth more than other, higher DPS classes. Meanwhile, Scourge brings enough unique utility with barriers and Epidemic that it can even be of use to highly experienced groups.
I've been using this build for quite some time now. I find that the DPS and survivability while using this build have been really good. I mainly use this for fractals and I tend to be one of the harder hitters as well as one who can stay alive longer than others on my team. Even if I do get downed, because of the good and sustained condition damage, I can bounce back up a couple times. This build also works well for dungeons.
Underwater does not work as well with this build since your utility skills are limited. Instead, you may want to use a reaper build for more difficult underwater content.
The necromancer is my favorite class now, influenced by the Scrouge specialization itself as well as this build
Survivability and dps are both great with this build
Now with my gear set and some comparison run through on-paper damage calculation I'm really enjoying this build and dealing amazing damage with it. It really works well in raid and fractals even with several scourges in the group. The condition conversion is helpful in many cases open world, fractals (especially afflicted ones) or several raid bosses like slothasor or xera.
The ability to choose healing makes it easier if you have no druid in group or for harder or solo (open world) content.
A down side is underwater fighting, reaper makes much more sense there, though there's only one underwater boss and hardly any underwater content.
Overall great build :)
