Is this the death of condi builds in PvE?

Why would it? Condi for some professions beats power. I’ll still be rocking my Condi Engi, I just won’t have to feel bad when I decide to play Power instead.

This doesn’t make necro swarm any less viable, or any harder to play – it simply makes power builds not useless at higher tiers.

I do not anticipate the PuG runs to change much with this update.

It doesn’t negatively affect condi builds in any way. It just makes them not the only meta available.

There’s a huge drawback that comes with playing a condi build, it’s the time it takes for damage to ramp up compared to a power builds where all the damage is frontloaded.

People were still playing mostly power builds in T4 fracs until someone came up with the necro stacking meme and high toughness was rarely brought up as an issue.

Changing things so much just for the sake of killing the stupid necro cheese will cause condi builds in general to fall out of meta since high toughness was the only reason they were even considered as most classes have a better power alternative.

With the new debuffs you can be sure the necro stacking parties will stay high.
