Guild Wars 2

Mass PvP (zerg fights)

• Nerf mass condition removal skills by creating two categories:
  - ally condition removal (Well of Power,Healing Rain,Null Field, this list should be much shorter than “party removal”.)
  - party member condition removal (Absolute Resolution,Save Yourselves,Plague Signet,Cleansing Wave,Cleansing Water,Shake It Off, etc.)

• Do the same with Boons

For me this is the easiest way to nerf condi removal in big fights without touching small scale pvp (spvp).

Conditions

• Remove +/- condition duration food/runes/traits from the game and balance everything around conditions + 30% condition duration (trait) and conditions removal.
  - replace condition duration runes/traits with: condi on crit, condi on weapon swap, chill immunity after you cleans it, chance to remove condi when dodge etc.
  e.g Superior Rune of Hoelbrak(6) 5sec immunity to chill/immobilize/cripple after you cleans it. ICD 25sec

JonPeters.5630:

We are going back and forth between 2s and 3s of weakness. 3s with full condi duration and with Near to Death trait is almost 65% uptime, which sortof scared us on an adept trait that gives AoE weakness. 2s works out to 42% uptime when maxed out which felt a little better. Still open to discussion so thanks,

I’m scared when i’m thinking about 0,7 sec weakness (-40%food/Rune of Melandru) or Warrior with -40%food/Rune of Melandru/Dogged March (Dark Pact 0.06sec ???). IMO it would be much easier without +/- condition duration runes/sigils/food/traits/weapon. Nerf to dmg condition and buff to defensive condition.
