It is not a condi setup but i find it more effective than with mender or cele . I find d/d core ele really a good and consistent setup. It is very easy to play and effective

AED is the only way to try to build without alchemy imho but i feel the need of alchemy in any case

> Because many eles run anti-range and anti-condi its the type of build that can hardcounter - fairly unsurprisingly - a ranged condi build. Core lf regen necros are also very difficult targets due to them healing on your condi. But obviously a dire/trailblazer build is gonna be sustain, not dps. > I use rabid

But it really depends on the skill of the enemy at that point though and how well their build counters yours. I've met condi druids where no amount of my condi work and they eventually sustain me down due to their fast and constant application from shortbow. It's often a slugfest to the death and whoever gets the first +1 win. > > Here's the last clips I made on my tools/alchemy/firearms based core engie. Just random though, no theme (and you can see what I describe above happen in a 1v3 where I can kill 2 of them but not the condi mesmer). > > Don't u miss a bit of damage ? I play something similar but against for examples ele is really hard ( i win only if i am luck with elixir X or sometime moa )
