Overview

A bursty condition build for open world, this spec offers the highest in-combat mobility in the game, tied with thief, along with extremely high burst damage and great sustained damage. It also has the advantage of not requiring high overall condi duration since it only applies Burning Burning, which gives more freedom on the overall gear options and cheaper budget variants.

Condi Willbender is a reliable, high damage build that features very high CC and mobility with moderate ability to defend itself with Crashing Courage and other powerful defensive tools such as Advance, Stand Your Ground, and Wall of Reflection. An absolutely incredible build for open world and well worth learning.
