Guild Wars 2

What if using dodge remove 1 or more damaging condition like bleed or burn, or a bar like endurance but for condition.Maybe would help a bit while fighting vs condition builds and would open new gameplay, or break .Don’t no if it was already suggested.

I think it does, on certain professions traited for it. I’m not 100% sure though.

I believe it’s one of the traits for the Elementalist. I know my Elementalist drops a condition when she dodges. Don’t remember name or trait line, though.

I know ranger has a trait that removes bleeding poison and I forgot what other condition when dodging. Im not sure about the other classes I dont main them enough to know off the top of my head.

Thief elite Spec, Daredevil, does have a trait like this. On every successful evade they lose one condition.

Let’s be honest, there’s actually a lot more options to combat condition damage than people like to admit. The only “problem” is that most of them compete with those oh so important DPS traits… I’m sorry to break it to you, but it won’t kill your DPS to drop one or even two of those traits for a trait that helps counter conditions. Many of the ant-condition traits are quite strong too… and on a few classes they even add to DPS…

I’d just add that you aren’t doing damage if you are dead. Invest in your survival and you will do more damage too.

Or realize that you likely won’t die if you don’t remove the condition in most situations.

I know for a fact that there is one ranger trait that you can select that does this.
