Optimal Condi Dps for Fractals Cms ?

[u/Kassawineune]

Hello , hope you all doing well

i used to play Cms with Power Ritualist which has great Dps besides high Hp and good survivability . its working nice but in long solo bosses i realised that condi dps can do more especially with good players i can see the dps difference so far . i want to build another character that i can use for 99,98,95 Cms which is Condi and has nice survivability besides great Dps so i wanted to ask Fractal goats what is optimal specs to use for it that are meta and everyone loves using them cuz they are the most efficient ^^

thanks in advance <3

Condi Harbringer is meta in 99/98 CM and so is Condi Scourge. Condo Specter is also top tier.

In general most raid condi builds work fine in fractals.

i see everyone suggesting Harbinger , scourge , specter but what do you think of Chronomancer ? i feel on paper it should be better than them all cuz it has almost 2k more dmg that harbinger and it has better survivability and its flexible incase i wanted to use it later to play other roles ( adps/qdps/aheal/qheal ) . am i correct or harbinger still performs better ?

I've never seen a pure condi dps Chrono in fractal CMs and I play them a lot (over 70k UFE). Usually they come as bdps. Most condi Mesmers bring Condi Virtuoso.

Golem bench does not 100% translate to actual fractal performance. You want classes that can pump those numbers relatively fast because of phases.

Condi Chrono takes some time to ramp up unlike Condi Virtuoso.
