Guild Wars 2

The new break bar makes CC very good for new event bosses and also when broken gives damage amplification for a short time. The problem here is that as far as I can tell it is nearly doubling physical damage but not affecting condition damage at all. If this is the case condi is quickly going to become far far worse than power because most of these enemies are killed by breaking the breakbar and bursting them down.

I really like doing the Dragon Stand event but I feel like I’m hurting our chance of success by being condi.

On the flip side, condi damage is fully effective on bosses who are resistant to physical damage while the break bar isn’t broken.

Haven’t seen any of these as far as I can tell. Any examples?

Still doesn’t change the fact that the meta is going to be might stacking+cc and then a power burst if condis don’t get a damage bonus from break bars too.

The meta “will” require condition dmg

Hes talking about the raid bosses, those of us that could log that brieft morning to test them discovered that the new “class trinity” is: raw dmg, condition dmg, healer(ventari reve,druid,water tempest)

The second boss in that little piece of raid was highly resistant to normal dmg, and the last one swapped his resistance every now and then

There are also bosses that can’t have condition applied to them which is the opposite of takes no physical damage. The whole mechanic of break bars is centered around a power meta and condi has no benefit from it. Condi will be necessary for certain fights but not used outside of those situations.

Chill got screwed over with break bar changes
