Guild Wars 2

There is a serious disconnect between conditions received and condition removal. Conditional removal for most professions is a complete joke. Get 8 condis….remove TWO…..get them back instantly…..

Either give us better condi removal or tone condition dmg down.

How you expect to be taken serious as an E-sport with this horrible mechanism imbalance in effect is a source of curiosity.

I’m curious, which professions count as “most” for you? Of the few professions I’ve played thoroughly, I can say guardians and elementalists have great condition removal capability, some of which is shared with nearby allies. Warriors are decent as well.

I have a feeling you’re running into a condition build, which as you probably can tell, spams conditions and you can’t deal with it. That’s almost like saying “why don’t I have more invuln skills on shorter recharge because I don’t like taking damage?”. Learn to dodge and burn condition removals on the conditions that matter, otherwise counter with strong regen and bursting your opponent(s) down.

You’ve gotta look at it both ways. Not every class can pile on 8 conditions at once. and even then most aren’t more then a few seconds unless stacked pretty high. Then there is the every favorite dodge option which can help prevent it from getting to be to much if done right.
Unless your alone with only your limited removal options there is also the team work effect for removing conditions since quite a few of them affect people around them as well so suddenly you could find yourself with 4-5 different means to remove them with ease.

So 3 profs can remove conditions adequately, so its fine? Guess we should just axe the other 5 profs, then?

Engineers, Elixir C. Turn ALL conditions into boons. (although its a long ole 40s recast)

Do we need to even discuss Necros with the 25s consume conditions that turns all conditions to a heal, and ignores poison?

Warriors ability to remove conditions every time they use a F1 key skill. and a heal that removes 3 every 20s.

Guardians plethora of ways to remove conditions.

Thieves ability to remove conditions just by being in stealth?

Mesmers ability to transfer conditions from themselves to a target with arcane thievery. Null field. Power cleanse. Traits that allow simple weapons skills like torch to remove conditions?

Rangers healing spring? up for 10s out of 30s. Removing a boon from everyone and anyone in it, every 2s. Pets with purge condition skills. Signet of renewal. Empathic bond.

Elementalist have traits and skills that can allow half of what they do to remove conditions.

Now to be fair. Some of these professions are tied to limited traits, or forced to use subsets of utilities they are not traited for to get condition removal.
