    Condition Specter PvP Build

    By Vallun16 February, 2022Updated:15 February, 20253 Comments4 Mins Read PvP Builds

    GW2. Condition Specter PvP Build. Scepter/Pistol Condition Specter PvP Build. Duelist Thief PvP.


    The Condition Specter is a Duelist Thief PvP build with the potential to heal allies, giving them Rot Wallow Venom which they can expend to deal damage. It uses the strong single target conditions from Scepter to pressure single targets in-between moments where allies need support.

    Basic Combo:

    • F1 > Scepter 3333 > F2 > 23452 > Leave Shroud > 3333

    The main skill is the Scepter/Pistol 3 which targets an ally or an enemy and either ports toward them if an ally or away from them if an enemy. This then enables the second part of the skill which is a beam to the target. If it is an enemy it will apply torment and slow, but if it is an ally it will give them barrier, regeneration, and quickness. The effect is shared with allies near your target at a reduced effect, but the amount given to the main target is powerful. The ability to give permanent quickness while keeping one person alive can turn a squishy DPS player into a dangerous powerhouse. Try to find the right target to use this on.

    In between pulsing quickness to your allies with the Scepter 3, you want to help provide them boons by using the Well of Bounty and Well of Gloom, which give resistance to allies. Use Siphon F1 to steal the boons from that target (prioritizes stability) so your allies can stun them for an easy kill.

    Because swapping between enemy and ally targeting is such an important aspect of this build, certain keybinds and commands are important to learn and set up to make targeting easier in fast-paced combat where it can be difficult to target allies.

    Keybinds – Set a key for these in the Control Options

    • Nearest Ally – Great for quickly targeting someone when you can move toward them to ensure they are the closest target, but may not be able to click on them.
    • Set Personal Target – Place an orange icon above their head, this will remain there until you change it or they run off-screen. Other allies cannot see or interact with this one, so it is independent of the red icon you can place. Place this on a priority ally you want to ensure you can keep alive.
    • Take Personal Target – Change your target to the player you placed your Personal Target on. This allows quickly swapping to them when in more hectic situations where it can be difficult to find them.

    Once you can find your target, keep using the Scepter 3 to pump boons into high-priority players that can make use of the healing and quickness. When low on the initiative, rotate into Shroud F2 to keep providing support or pressure while your initiative regenerates. Also, you can save some initiative to combine your finishers from Shroud with the Pistol 5 smoke field to give stealth to allies.

    Basic Shroud Rotation

    • F2 > Shroud 2 > 5 > 3 > 4 > 2

    Stealth Sharing Combos

    • Pistol 5 > Shroud 2
    • Pistol 5 + Blinding Powder
    • Shroud 5 > Pistol 5

    Signet of Shadows can be used to cover your conditions when bursting a target with your team, making it harder for your enemy to cleanse.

    Survive using the Pistol 5 and using finishers in the combo smoke field with Shroud 2/3/5 to gain stealth. Swap to Sword and use the Sword 2 when trying to rotate around the map. Also, use your Sword 2 in the middle of your Shadowfall animation to increase its range when you are ready to engage on a target.

      I really like being able to swoop in, heal a nearby ally, and then immediately shift to attack with this build. It is a very fun “snatch victory from the jaws of defeat” roamer, and I love it.
