    Introduction

    This Celestial Booster Virtuoso is a great beginner-friendly offensive setup made for open-world. The equipment above is designed to be played with the Exotic gear obtained by the Level 80 Boost, with some modifications to runes and sigils. To gear this build without the Level 80 Boost, use crafting or purchase items directly from the trading post.

    NOTE: Condition Virtuoso focuses HEAVILY on reaching 100% critical hit chance. Due to the nature of this gear setup, it cannot reach its maximum optimal potential. For a more optimal setup see:

    Build Fundamentals

    Stock up Blades by applying to enemies thanks to Jagged Mind and Bloodsong. Once 5 Blades are ready, alternate between using Bladesong Sorrow and Bladesong Harmony.

    Use Phantasmal Swordsman at the start of your Sword loop, then use it again before swapping to Focus to use Phantasmal Warden.

    Build Specifics

    Reset the cooldown of Phantasmal Warden with Signet of the Ether to summon another Phantasma.

    Space your Shatters to keep Deadly Blades up for increased damage. Always prioritize Bladesong Harmony, Bladesong Sorrow, and Bladeturn Requiem.

    Use Psychic Force to activate Superior Sigil[s] of Celerity and gain , , and , it can also be used to break out of enemy Crowd Control.

    Continuously generate Blades with Bladecall, and Unstable Bladestorm. Thousand Cuts also generates Blades, but be careful to aim it correctly at the enemy.

    Bladesong Distortion can also be used to upkeep Deadly Blades, but it is also a fantastic emergency button that makes you invulnerable, granting you the ability to ignore many high-damage abilities.

    Phantasmal Warden is a good utility to destroy projectiles and Temporal Curtain turns into Into the Void when placed on the ground which can be used for and pulling enemies.

    Crowd Control

    Alternatives

    Psychic Force can be swapped for:

    If you absolutely need to replace a second utility skill, replace Signet of Domination before Signet of Midnight.

    You can swap Duelist's Reversal for Phantasmal Blades or Sharpening Sorrow.
