Overview
The standard condition DPS build for Daredevil. This build spams venoms and
死亡绽放 on bosses to inflict heavy
流血 and
中毒. Due to evading for most of its rotation, it can easily avoid boss attacks. It also provides high utility to its squad with raid boss stolen skills.
Due to this build's high ramp-up time it's best used on raid bosses with no phases or adds. It performs poorly on any boss with invuln phases, or instant kill attacks that it has a chance to accidentally move into while using
死亡绽放.

- Offhand Pistol can be taken in the second set to offer decent CC on demand.
Skill Variants
Utility
Always keep
蜘蛛毒液 as it is a significant portion of your damage. If you need to replace skills, replace
噬蝎毒液.
撒播蒺藜 are in theory higher damage, but to gain full value the boss needs to remain in place for 10s so all ticks hit, and it will lose additional value on encounters with phases, as
噬蝎毒液 can be precast.
阻碍匕首 (with
顽强斗士) could replace
准备千针万箭 on encounters with high movement uptime.
强横防御 for a block and stun break.
暗影疾步 for extra mobility and stun break.
Elite
- Use
冲撞打击 for faster breakbar damage, on fights with multiple adds and on Matthias Gabrel, where
石蜥毒液 has no effect on the encounter's breakbars. - Use
同仇敌忾 for fights that do not have breakbars.

Equipment
- Equip your main hand dagger in your first weapon set and your second dagger in your second weapon set. This lets you weapon swap for
超级厄运法印 without having to obtain 4 daggers.
Non-SotO Relics
荆棘古物 is the standard core relic option, though it only works if you regularly take damage from the boss (boss aura ticks count but not all bosses have one).
Otherwise, there aren't any reliable core damage relics for condi daredevil, though there are a few options that might be good:
幻象术士古物 - depending on the boss, you might be able to trigger this a lot, and it is theoretically stronger than the recommended relic.
冒险者古物 - If your
活力 uptime is bad, then more endurance is valuable.
Consumables
Food
Utility
Usage
Your goal is to maintain
莲舞训练 and 15 stacks of
主导攻击 while using your high-damage utility skills.

- Use Weapon swap Weapon swap, venoms,
准备千针万箭 and
顺手牵羊 when they are off cooldown. - Use
活力引导 before or after any auto-attack chain when you are out of endurance.
Notes
- During the main loop, you may find it easier to swap the order of
穿刺莲舞 and
死亡绽放, instead jumping into your target with
死亡绽放 then dodging back out with
穿刺莲舞. - If you are inside the boss's hitbox and there are other enemies nearby,
穿刺莲舞 will deal up to triple damage to the boss. - Be careful not to cancel the auto attack chain as
毒莲打击 deals more damage than
双重打击 and
狂野打击 combined. - You should try to use
顺手牵羊 while you do not have full initiative in order to benefit from
利己主义 and
妙手耐力. - You should try to use
活力引导 while you do not have full endurance. - You should only use venoms while four other allies are in range (This includes Mesmer clones, Necromancer minions, and Ranger pets).
