Guild Wars 2

Especially if the enemy has no way to heal itself, the healing bonus is completely wasted and the damage is subpar, sure it’s a tad better than bleeding but you can only have one stack and most poison skills already come with a long duration so stacking it isn’t such an appealing option except against bosses.

Do you think Anet should buff it? Maybe make it stackable but with a maximum stack of say, 5?

I mean I love the concept of poisoning my foes, but going condition damage for poison alone seems like a complete waste.

The main purpose of poison is the healing debuff, in my opinion. Going condition damage solely for poison is a bad option with burning and bleeding around.

it is ok in pvp where everyone can heal themselves.. even not for much but still. but yeah wouldn’t make build completely around for poison only.
but in pvp in www and so on people can heal something 6k+ that reduced by poisons -33% saves some time killing them.

Well yeah it seems to be it’s main option but then it makes it a PvP centric condition since in PvE I haven’t seen that many enemies using heals on a consistent basis (which I’m glad too, trash mobs healing themselves would make me angry), which kinda sucks because well, I like poison and want to build a character around it, but to do PvE!
