Overview
Condition virtuoso is a powerful ranged condition dps build for open world. Virtuosos cannot summon clones. Instead, they stock Blades. This has the disadvantage of clones no longer tanking for you, but the advantage of Blades persisting after combat unlike clones which die after the fight.
Condition Dueling virtuoso inflicts enormous amounts of 
流血 damage through critical hits thanks to 
锐利幻象 and 
寂静强烈. This large bleeding output also generates lots of Blades thanks to 
鲜血之歌 which allows you to use Bladesongs essentially off-cooldown. This means that this build very dependent on having the right gear to achieve high critical chance and bleeding duration.

Weapon Variants
- None. Dagger is a must and cannot be substituted by any other weapon. We advise not to change the offhand weapons either since this build prefers phantasms that attack multiple times, making sword and focus better than the traditional condi offhands torch and pistol.
Skill Variants
Healing skill
We default to 
幻光纹章, an offensive heal whose active effect allows you to do more damage. But if you require more healing, you can instead use:
幻光盛宴 - very large heal, especially when used with maximum stocked blades.
Utility skills
We default to:
剑刃暴雨 is good for AoE damage.
午夜纹章 and 
支配纹章 provide the highest sustained damage through their passive, so you only use them in emergencies. If you want or need to run other skills, here are some suggestions:
坚定咒语 - condition cleanse for yourself and nearby allies.
斥力穹窿 - projectile reflection.
专注咒语 - personal stunbreak and AoE stability.
传送入口 - utility.
闪光传送 - utility.
Elite skills
We default to 
千刀万剐 for its high damage. If necessary, it can be replaced for elites with more utility:
群体隐形 - stealth for channeling hero points or sneaking past powerful enemies.
谦逊纹章 - large amount of crowd control.
Specializations
Specializations Variants
回忆留影 - Boon generation when solo.
Inspiration
Inspiration can replace Illusions when soloing to increase sustain at a large dps loss.
Equipment
The default recommended gear is the same as the condi virtuoso raid build for ease of gearing.
If you are gearing this character from zero, start with exotic quality gear. We suggest starting with a full set Sinister Sinister gear since it is very cheap. For the armor, search for "Norgu" in the trading post and replace the runes. For the weapons, search for "Sinister Scavenged Obsidian". For the amulet and rings search for Sinister, for the accessories search for "Coral Orichalcum", for the backpack search "Lucky Great" and manually chose it attribute combination after buying it. When possible, switch the requiered pieces to Rampager Rampager, which is more expensive but worth the investment. Upgrade to ascended gear as soon as you can, prioritising the trinkets. See also: Guide:How to Gear a Character.
超级精确法印 should not be used because Illusions do not gain the increased critical chance from it.- Do not use defensive gear, this build is very strict with its gearing.
- For defense, equip a high tier jade core and swap the relic to
生物能量技师古物 to trade damage for sustain. - Use food that boosts all attributes:
龙星乐蛋糕 or 
芫荽牡蛎汤球. If you have a character at least 2 years old, the Birthday Blaster cake also works and is free, but only lasts 10 minutes. The same applies to 9 year old characters and the Feast of Delectable Birthday Cake, which lasts 30 minutes.
Consumables
Food

Utility
Usage
Damage
A key aspect of this build is achieving 100% critical chance, which is why it uses Rampager Rampager and Sinister Sinister gear. Additionally, 
激怒 is greatly improved by 寂静强烈. The build then converts this high crit chance into 流血 damage through 锐利幻象 and 
波动思维. This high bleeding output generates an insane amount of Blades with 鲜血之歌, which are then consumed on Shatters/Bladesongs to both deal direct damage and increase your damage with 
致死利刃.
Priority
- When you swap to sword, use Phantasmal Swordsman and use it again when it recharges, then weapon swap. On the focus weapon set, cast Phantasmal Warden twice by using Signet of the Ether.
- You will generate a lot of Blades, but space your Bladesongs to upkeep the buff from 致死利刃.
Defense
Sustain
- Dealing damage heals you thanks to 波动思维.
- When 幻光纹章 is not on cooldown, every Blade you stock will heal you for a small amount.
Crowd control
不谐咏刃 - daze. Daze duration increases with the number of stocked Blades.
幻象还击⇒
还击之剑 - daze.
凡尘帷幔⇒
堕入虚无 - pull.- 支配纹章 - stun (emergencies only).
