Guild Wars 2

Why do NPC conditions last a ridiculous long time but mine only last a few seconds and the NPC knockback will knock you off of ledges but my knockbacks won’t as well as the Skelks have spamable stealth and other NPCs have spamable snares and such. PLEASE balance this out. Thank you for a great game.

There are pickable skills to clear conditions.

Because npc don’t have adaptation and learning capabilities, judgement or intelligence that they can spontaneously use against us so they need a bit of a different advantage to keep them interesting.

Well I have to agree the knocking of ledges is pretty lame, especially when it’s at jumping puzzles cough breached wall cough or that Krait tower thingie with the krait queen which you visit with certain story quests. If they allow mobs knocking us over ledges they really shouldn’t put such mechanisms in places where you can get knocked of and instakilled from fall dmg.

you forgot Fear some of the npc’s will fear you off a ledge
