Guild Wars 2

Is it true that condition damage will be nerfed again?
I ask because I try to make a hybrid thief build and when I discussed it with a friend today, he told me that a condition nerf is planned.

The main thing I think is they are going to NERF burning, so don’t worry too much. I wish that bleeding got its promised value though. As a condition necro that sorta ticked me off. -_-

Promised? Did the devs forget the usual “everything might change” disclaimer during one of the previews?

There is no doubt things will be tweaked. That always happens after big balance updates. However, I expect the nerf (if it comes) to be rather limited in scope. I don’t think conditions are actually in a better place now than direct damage. They just are a lot better than they used to be and thus some people are vocally calling them overpowered.
