Guild Wars 2

We have 4 atm. Poisone on its own can’t really provide enough dmg to build around it. Bleed has its Cap which macks it great if you can stack it up on your own but cripples your dmg if someon on your party also applyes bleeds. Burning has good dmg and can even crit. But not a lot of classes can build around it if they can uses it at all. And lastly Confusion is way to rare and short to be effectiv in PvE but is due the comabt system super strong in PvP. This kind of cripples te build varity for classes. Atm if you go condtion dmg on most classes it is either go bleed( burn in the case of the guardian) or you have no condtion build.
The Mesmer kind of has a varity in conditons if build for that but it isn’t really good becaus of the Vulnerability it applyes ( the good ‘ol game of. " lets make it two things so we don’t have to do two weapons)

What are your thoughts? The bleed cap sure does hurt conditons builds but the lack of other options really give it the kick . Besiedes the Necro most classes are better of with a tanky or rawr dmg build.

I agree with this. Condition builds are always somewhat gated by the mechanics you mentioned. Although poision has the very powerful effect of reducing effective healing, which is certainly a factor when considering it’s overall effect.

Sure. Poison can be very powerfull and has a decent dmg out put with a awesome side effect. But like confusion it is more of a PvP thing. In PvE mobs rarly heal also you can’t stack it macking it impossible to have it as you only dmg output.
