VladOne last run before the patch :D Overall a pretty clean kill if not for the second mind crush but we could maybe shave off a second with enough grinding.

Chronomancer - Yulian: youtu.be/0d-LN3HzjgM(Outdated) [CnD] Tactics (Might) Banner Bladesworn (A/P) | 31,760 DPS - V2Vlad2022-03-11 | Had another crack at it with a clearer mind and decided to give it another go.
This time I'm using Artillery Slash and Cyclone trigger a lot more often since Blooming Fire feels clunky and cannot be animation cancelled on weapon swap. I'm also getting a bit more comfortable with the feel of it and gaining some speed here and there, although it's not quite optimal yet.
Going for a 32K run should be doable eventually, although I will also be looking into alternatives and rotation variations.

The general idea here is that we can keep up the might while charging, although it would drop during downtime, which kinda forces us to take FGJ as a filler.
Needless to say this is still early testing and not set in stone, however it looks to be a viable alternative to Berserker (tactics) so far.
PS: Apologies for the nasty bar on the chat... may have been too tired when I did this and straight-up forgotten to swap tabs, so I had to cover some messages there '^^

This is still in the very early stages of theory-crafting. The idea here was to bring something that could cover alacrity, might, and bring some nice heal. Similar to heal scrapper, but the alacrity version. Granted, none of this is optimal yet, but definitely enjoyable!CnD | Icewear Weaintbored - 0:42 | HoloVlad2022-02-12 | Rat goes like this: https://dps.report/dvuL-20220210-230123_ice

Well, glad to finally be able to show you the latest project we've been working on! Yes yes, we don't like druids, or kiters, dps go brrrr.... It was quite fun to get this right especially since there isn't much room for error here. Overall pretty satisfied with the results!
As for my job specifically, I was the stack scourge during the pre-event. This meant taking care of barrier/bomb timings as well as generally speeding up movement with portals. Once the fight started I did my usual rotation as well as the Epi from the enforcer however, I had to place a portal for the second bomb towards star so that our returning Soulbeast could get to stack faster. I was also the guy in charge of having to backup the green at spiral should it be needed although it wasn't needed in this run. The second portal was again used to take the bomb out and allow whoever did Spiral to return to stack quicker, in this case, the other scourge. Once the soul-split hit I gave some barrier for the hit and cleansed my sub quickly. Since Dhuum keeps his conditions I Epi'd out to messenger as soon as possible, allowing the other scourge to also Epi back quickly for more damage and place a portal backwards.

I didn't intend to record anything but the kill run was actually pretty decent for me. Dropped boons here and there but overall went oki.
We don't talk about the end...

People seem to be often deterred by playing condi engineer/holosmith, mostly because of the constant moving which messes with both your dps fields and boons. This forces you to adapt your rotation on the fly, just like with any other dps class, although due to the nature of this rotation it becomes hard to keep track of your cooldowns.
Despite these issues, you can still do considerable damage and pull your weight, even in an SH CM pug run.

Definitely not optimal circumstances and I did make a few mistakes in there, but fun nonetheless! Although this is a build that requires relatively high effort for the damage it has, it can easily pull its weight in most pug runs.
If you're bored of playing the same Renegade rotation that is by now muscle memory, then this is a fun, high APM, alternative.

Hasn't happened to me before nor since... not entirely sure what caused this either... if you guys have any ideas, let me know '^^[PugAdventures] Qadim The Peerless - Deadeye KiterVlad2019-12-29 | Hey,
This is a video showing how to handle Deadeye kiting in pug groups when you don't have the optimized circumstances of an organized raid. It's definitely not the best run but, in the end, that's the idea here. As for the build: the setup is similar to the normal dps build however, we use force/impact on the rifle and should also bring a sword/pistol set with paralyzation sigil. Trait wise we swap Premeditation for Silent Scope and No Quarter for Invigoration Precision (bit obvious).
