Omnicron.2467 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Hi everyone! I am busy trying to learn Condi Mirage. I noticed that on Snowcrows; website that the build uses only an axe and not a scepter. From what I understand the point of the mirage build is to apply a lot of confusion, and the axe does not give confusion whereas the scepter does. Is scepter not used because the ambush skill of the scepter along with the skill 3 has a long channel time that makes it lower dps than the axe?

ButcherofMalakir.4067 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Confusion scale with boss atack speed. The faster boss atacks, the closer is scepter to axe. Curently fastest bosses are largos duo and scepeter is overall still worse dps then axe mirage. That beeing said, axe mirage is harder so scepter might have more dps for you. Still, only worth on largos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepster.4275 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 But even on largos, if the overal group DPS is bad, axe pulls ahead(talking in general). So as it has been said screpter is easier and can be used on bosses where mirage is meta except Matthias, but a mirage who knows how to execute a proper rotation on Axe will pull ahead on most bosses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButcherofMalakir.4067 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Axe pulls ahead all the time if you do your rotation right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnicron.2467 Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 But why? Is it because scepter is slow? Because you should get more confusion from scepter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you should get more confusion from scepter Scepter is better at producing confusion but confusion is only part of damage you do. Axe does less damage from confusion but much more from other sources. For example look at ambush skills of axe and scepter Axe does 3* the damage from player and 2* from clone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vermouth.3478 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 If you have arcdps, you can check and compare that the main damage from axe shatter mirage is coming from torment and then confusion. Scepter mirage would be mostly confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
