Infuse Condition + Martyr

I may have missed something, but I'm trying to figure a support build that clears conditions quickly. I'm thinking Martyr + Infuse Condition wouldn't be that bad. The premise is, just use minions (not fiends or horrors) and when conditions are suffered by the majority of your party, you strip them. In theory, the conditions should be sent to your closest minion.

I know it'd be a minion killer, but you're using minions more for their abilty to carry the conditions than using them for an MM style of play.

Thoughts? Drawbacks?

I haven't completely thought this all through, but I'm still playing with ideas.

You can always use purge conditions with martyr, same effect and not limited to the MM build

Tbh the effects of Martyr just give you all the more reason to carry Mend Ailment with you. Getting rid of all the conditions onto a minion would be a helpful combo though, specially for PvE. Could be built into an MF build maybe for PvP? Although Veratis Sacrifice would negate Infuse Condition completely.

The only thing i can think of would be bringing Martyr on 1 person. Then maybe a necro using Plague Signet and Draw Conditions to quickly give them everything? (not actually sure whether Draw is 1 or all, haven't used it)

It is a nice idea.. thinking outside of the box is plenty of fun. As using the normal cookie-cutter MM build gets dry at times. Although, I do not think using the elite slot for Martyr is worth it, as you would have to replace something else for it. Good catch though, because Martyr is not attribute based.. meaning you can spend attributes elsewhere.

I think when using Verata's Sacrifice the conditions your minions are suffering are put on you and infuse condition would place it back.

Well.. the other part about that is using Martyr to decrease the fuse time in a minion bomber. I mean, if you use Animate bone minions and your'e just animating htem as portable bombs....

Infuse Condition
Dark Bond
Martyr
Animate Bone Minions
Death Nova

Using that would be a decent skill set to keep the minions on a degen. Or... you could use verata's sacrifice if more than one minion is suffering a condition, then use Infuse contidion to bounce it back. This way if you have multiple minions suffering from it, you could transfer the condition to a single minion instead.

It's heavier on infuse condition, but I'm considering ways to avoid taking conditions upon myself as a necro while still dealing damage or being effective.


Oops... didn't read D'Arcangelo's post until after I posted.. but same idea... in part

Here's an idea I've always wanted to try - might be more useful in PvP but who knows...

Step1: Monk uses Martyr
Step2: Necro uses Draw Conditions
Step3: Mesmer calls Target and casts Fevered Dreams
Step4: Necro uses Plague Signet to send all condions to target.

Voila - transfer all conditions on your party to all of the opponents (in the area). The recharges match up nicely - all 10 sec. Of course you would follow up by hitting target with Phantom Pain/Shater Del, Blinding Flash, Poision arrow etc...

Of course you would probably need voice communicaton to coordinate this properly .. but thats a given in PvP anyway...

Ive seen this before. It's like a funny game of football when conditions are thrown all over the place. And of course, the obvious counter to this build, is it's own build again.

weakness in gvg = not enough corpses

weakness in arena = not enough corpses

weakness in PvE = minion will be target first if they got lower armor/hp

weakness overall = it takes too much time to prepare for something that is so easily spreadable

suggestion - make a build that offer weak pet, to make corpses. Use the MM more than just for the defense.
