Condition pressure minus the conditions is gud. That's a NR/Tranq build.

how is it lackign in conditions, tab?

Let's compare two condition pressure builds.
The meta one has Disease, Poison, Burning, Bleeding, Cripple, Daze, and Blind from the midline alone.
That has Burning, Blind, Poison and Deep Wound.
I know which I'd take.

Running Putrid Bile as the only hex in a team is pretty win.
Steady Stance is absolute shit now.
Runners with the regen of a wammo are good.
That's pretty much the meta condipressure, but with Mind Blast.

Purifying Veil is gud on burning aka in AT's. Everywhere else it's pretty bad.

the Trapper is too fragile, especially if you want it to go active trapping instead of trapping PvE style...
1 character with unblockable attacks, be it an unblockable sin combo, guiding hands dervish, guided arrows ranger, or whatever else or just Rigor Mortis/Expose Defenses will render him completely useless...
and even without them, wild throw, wild blow, wild strike, other stance removers will also render him completely useless...

there is a reason why trappers are rarely being used in GvG, they're just too fragile. unless you're going /mes for Mantra of Resolve you will rarely be able to lay your traps or using the elite Trapper's Focus, which wont save you from hard interrupts like D-Shot, D-Chop, Savage Shot etc but at least will make it much harder to distrupt your trapping. but on the other hand you lose your most important trap...

I'm also not sure about your Mind Blaster, Shatterstone/BSurge eles will fit more nicely Imho.

also I'm not sure how good the Steady Stance, Fear Me Warriors are after the nerfs...

and you need some source of real damage, if you keep the Mind Blaster it will be him but he'll run dry of energy so fast that it isnt even funny... and besides casters are too easy to shut down, without him you got no dmg at all...

Someone hasn't seen the metagame lately. Smoke trappers have been making a comeback recently, and were an integral part of the anti-balanced condition pressure pre-nerf, along with seeing use in condition builds nowadays also.

Hi, have you watched any GvG games lately? Maybe the past few monthlies?
