Condition Virtuoso maintains 25 stacks of Vulnerability on the enemy and can inflict a good amount of CC. It also has great utility with or a selection of Mesmer utility skills.

The gear is optimized for maximum damage output under ideal conditions with a and 18 x . Since these items come at a significant gold cost, it may be desirable to run a build variant that can use much cheaper consumables.
