If you are not familiar with this condition you can read about it here.

This has to be my favorite skill effect/negative condition in all the MMOs I have played to date.

It might not fit straight into GW2 in vanilla form, but a slighty altered form of it would be awesome.

Given the pace of combat in PvP it would be OP to suddenly have your max health cut by 20%.

What suggestions do you guys have that would make this condition fit into GW2?

Max health reductions are only cool when spike healing is a significant part of your survivability against burst damage and overhealing is a danger. This is a very specific case that doesn’t really exist inside the GW2 system at all. I think you’d find it would be really boring until it got to a point where it was strong just because of how much damage it did when you threw it on.

Agreed, if HoT truly ups the healing with Ventari, then maybe the door opens slightly for this fantastic skill to make a return.
They would have to water down the 20%, and make it unstackable.

Deep wound was arguably one of the strongest conditions in Guild Wars 1. I seem to remember it being left out intentionally for that reason. If it does come back, it’ll come back in name only.
