Is the spike damage to spikey?

Getting burst down left and right by everything/one.

I barely have time to hit my stun-break, and even if I do, cleansing the immobilize before the burst is another thing altogether.

Am I just playing it wrong after the patch?

  • I go burst/spike damage and its just whoever hits whom first, so basically a race to see who can face-roll faster.
  • I go bunker and still can’t get any counter-play in before/after the burst, because I’m dead.

I don’t know… I’ll keep trying out different things, but might have to settle with a face-rolling build and hope my ping is better than my target’s.

Reminds me of archeage, whoever looses stealth fist looses, or whoever has lower ping wins. And I quit that game because the PvP was so dumb.

From my experience, a lot of MMOs (like AA) suck because its whoever gets the initiative first wins.

I’m getting that feeling right now too, in GW2. But I can’t really say for sure if that’s what this patch did.

I’m still figuring things out, maybe the dev’s threw in some over powered counter to bursting builds and I just haven’t figured it out.

Burn damage is just ridiculous at the moment though. I feel like I need to invest heavily into vitality, in order to deal with 3-4 stacks of burn. There’s too much access to Burn, even if you’re packed with a bunch of condition cleanses, they stack right back up. Burn is to the point where you can’t afford to wait for them to finish a full condition burst, you have to pop your cleanses in the middle of it all and hope you can dodge the rest.
