Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,

just whanted to ask for your opinion on the new boon resistence, witch stops condishens on you from dealing any damage.
i a am kind of affraid accualy, because i love my condi builds and the are worthless in PvE so it would suck if they get useless in PvP too.
the only thing we can compare this to is the berserker stance from warrior and it complety rect condi builds, so will like a group of roamers be able to keep it up most of the time? will condi remove get useless?
share your thoughts i would love to discuss this

Firstly I would work a bit more on your spelling and grammar.

Secondly, I think that the resistance boon won’t last long it will just mitigate a bit of cond damage, and lets face it, conds in PvP is very strong.
Currently we have blocks to counter raw damage, and with HoT we’ll have resistance to counter conditions, so I don’t see any issue here.
Also, differently from the berzerker stance, you will apply conditions against a player with resistance on, what happens is that the player won’t be affected by the conds, as soon as the resistance runs off all the effects will kick in.

Its just like stability for conditions. Nothing more or less

sry for bad english, as a german i still haven’t mastered it.
yes we do have block but it’s only for a a single attak (aegis) or you can’t attak while blocking. a boon witch allows you to ignore condis could hit condi builds pretty hard

Sure that new boon will hit condis, the game needs that, but apparently it won’t hit as hard as you imagine.
I’m pretty sure that Resistance won’t be a common boon to have/apply, and again, differently from the Berzerker stance, you can use boon stripping skills to remove Resistance.

I’m sure someone will come up with a use for a projectile ignoring condi immune team member or 5…

And then see them being slaughtered by a melee group :P

This does however raise the question why Protection isn’t a 100% damage avoidance for direct damage, if Resistance is a 100% negation of condition damage.
