I think that ArenaNet needs to start expanding on the “Agony” condition.
Players are finding reasons to want Ascended Weapons (and soon armor) that don’t involve playing Fractals, but since Agony is limited to fractals the Agony Resist built into the infusions is worthless unless you’re in Fractals.
Personally I think that they should start adding Champions into the game that deal Agony. Maybe even have the Agony scale up with the number of players in the fight.
These Champions would have to be obviously named so people knew whether or not to attack.
I’m thinking something like: “Champion Risen Giant of Agony”
or something like that.
I’m not saying I enjoy the Agony condition
but I do think it’s necessary to expand on the idea and make Ascended gear a little more useful.
Thoughts? Any ideas for how Agony could be expanded on?
