Hex them up fragility, cast Conjure(or any other low recharge hex), then accumlated pain for deep wound, then cast virulence for 3 more conditions, then spam Epidemic and Hypochonria as much as possible... Viable idea?

it could work in pve if they dont scatter all you would need is a tank to hold aggro i guess

this tactic is more than a year and a half old. It used to be completley broken before fragility was nerfed.

Hypochondria was 'fixed' as well.

Also keep in mind that Epidemic doesn't remove the conditions from the target, it's just duplicated and copied onto the other targets.

There are 2 main problems with the build one is energy management and 2 is recharge time.

sure you can kill sombody that has no healing(note: any healing at all and your target is still alive...) however your a sitting duck after the first round -- you have 20sec till your second target --and after that you have way more time for your energy to recharge...


--but is is fun every once and a while to play in RA...

fun build, very old though, and not too effective, but still very fun

It's not that old. Hypocondria is a NF skill. I've wondered myself if that coupled with epedemic would provide constant spiking through fragility.

Epidemic are of effect is adjacent. I think this ruins the idea for mass condition spam your dreaming up .

me and a friend did a build somewhat like that, 2 mesmers with hypochondria and we 'tossed' conditions between 2 foes that were close together, after the conditions were applied it took less than a second to do 600+ damage (to one target, the other one only took ~400)... rather fun but with the new update to deep wound its a dead giveaway.

YES this spike still works today, but you need two foes nearby, you and a friend can go to the dummies and try it... its fairly amusing.

I dont think it would be effective in TA, as soon as i see fragility on me I call it and the monk puts SoA on me, screwing the spike

It's old and too focused.
