Guild Wars 2

Had a long pause from GW2, and now I notice that Necromancers have got updates to convert even more boons into conditions.

Is the open world PvE also updated to make use of these changes, as in monsters would use spammable boons more often and some would use powerful boons during some special skill?

Or is it still strictly limited to PvP and Raids?

Pretty much only applies to PvP and raids.

Darn ANet…

I run a Reaper/Necro in PvE, and the boon removal it does isn’t such a big thing, the enemies can re-apply them fairly fast, and if an enemy has multiple boons, it wont change the battle, but, there are better builds to run in PvE for necro, boon stripping like it has been said is more raids and pvp.

You’ll see more boons in the HoT maps, at least amongst some of the Mordrem types, but it’s still pretty much a non-factor.

Though Focus 5 wrecking a Teragriff is always nice

Somehow. yes. However, monsters don’t spam boons but conditions and CC…
