Introduction

Pylon Kiter Condition Scourge is a niche variant specifically designed for Qadim the Peerless in Wing 7. This flexible and durable ranged DPS has a large amount of built-in, passive utility, including a lot of , , and Crowd Control. This Build is fairly easy for new players to pick up, as it doesn’t have a weapon swap and there are no cooldowns to keep track of.

Build Fundamentals

Activate constantly by using any Shade skills (, , ) in a 1-second interval. Count 1-second intervals by using a Shade skill after every full auto-attack chain, or after two weapon skills are used. Do not use too often, as it consumes a large amount of life force.

As a Scourge, your character also counts as a Shade just like the . Because of this, you can position yourself on the boss to do damage with Shade skills while placing in the distance to kill adds, deal with mechanics, and/or support your team with condition cleanses and ,

Make sure to use the Crowd Control skill below to CC the Anomalies that are walking to the Pylons if there is no player assigned to this task, as it will not cause a big DPS loss.
