I have played for three years and it’s getting harder to deal with the WvW condi blobs. I am forever going up against Necros, Guards, Wars, and Eles in opposing zergs and the whole floor is a red mess.

I know about the -40% poultry soup but what ways do you find on the various classes to combat condi. And by the way PvP tonight was tougher, seems like the condi necros and eles and even some engis are gaining ground in there too. Necros are nuts.

The best ways to deal with conditions are -condi duration runes/food and (aoe) condi cleanse.
And because both things are very common in large scale battles, all meta zergbuilds are power (and even most “non-meta-player” run powerbuilds in zergs, because those are so much better). There are no “condi blobs” in wvw. Unless you confuse a group of condi pu mesmer with a “blob” ^^

Well necros actually have some of the lowest condition output, they do well in cover conditions though. Most of the condition damage coming from a necro would be from transfers, so if youre using a condi build yourself you want to pace yourself until the necro blows his cooldowns.

By just stats, Vitality is the counter to Condition Damage.
However, it always helps to have light fields and projectile finishers. Something like Engie mortar is great for this.

Warrs can he some pretty impressive condition clearing abilities. Traited warhorn, trooper runes with fast recharge on shouts, that sort of thing.
If you want to hit like a wet noodle then soldiers or knights armour with trooper runes is one option.
