Guild Wars 2

Anyone else notice a dramatic up-tic in aids builds? If so, is it solely due to the strength rune nerf? Or is it because I had a 15/17 game skid and went from the low 500s to 94% and they all play Condi toward the bottom of the ladder?

The last few days its 2 necros or 2 engies on every team. I swear I have even seen a bunch of Condi pu mesmers!

I was one of the people saying there was no condition meta but now I wonder. Unless I guessed right and this is a bottom tier thing.

This isn’t a QQ thread, I run shout Guard with soldier runes so I have actually been feeling pretty useful. I am just curious if any one else noticed this shift.

Actually, the condi meda has been reduced because of hambow warriors and dps guardians.
Then, if you play a ranger you can only play a condi, because your pet steal 20-30% of your direct damage and you del lesser than the other classes (in direct damage build).
Necro can do a very high direct damage, but no one care about it and everyone use it like a condi (and it’s powerfull whit all its conditions, CC and combo fields). Mesmer… boh… i don’t know. Engi in condi build is a powerfull bunker whit CC and a large amount of condiiton damage that shot you whit 2k damage by conditions x second.

Whit a condition build you can obtain more combo whit your allies, more dps and more survavibility. And in a fight of 2-3 vs 2-3 there’s not all that condi removers like in wvsw that reduce your damage and that make you able to inflict a large amount of condition damage whit a semi-bunker build.

Whit direct damage you need to max it and you need a berserker build (or hambow warrior) and your defence fall down.

Whit a condi build you can deal 2k+ x second of conditions and be a bunker. Whit a berserker build you can deal 3k x second but whit a paper armor that make you die quickly.

Actually, whit the hambow warrior build there’s lesser condition damage, but 70% of the enemy I find in spvp use condi builds.

You do know that the burning from longbow is the #1 DPS output on hambow right?

I don’t mean since April 15. I mean since Tuesdays strength rune Nerf… I know all about hambow, eviscerate warriors, med guards etc.

Did you read my post? I am talking about the last few days… Thank you for the wall of tldr though..

condi engineer op . with elite knockdown for 5 seconds and ful condi dmg this is crazy sheet!

The Burn is the first damage of the Hambow build???? O.o
That’s a troll, right?
Burning can deal a high damage, ok, but it’s not the best damage you can output. Not whit 15+ stack of might, 3 skills that crit at 100% and Earthshaker, backbreaker and Fierce Blow.

Then, I’ve not noticed a increase nomber of condition classes in the last 3 days.
