Guild Wars 2

Sure, I can turn my Mesmer into a GS PU one, or roll a Warrior, and enjoy the Meta and faceroll others but it’s just lame, skill-less and insanely boring.

There are still hard to play builds on warrior. But you have to go staff like full glass with no points in defense. It’s silly, but you deal a lot of damage and EVERYTHING becomes a threat. One backstab with 2100 armor and you are in trouble, for example.

I believe you. Now tell me how many players actually play that spec rather than HamBow spam. The fact that people have to justify that there’s still difficult to play specs goes a long way towards showing how easy the class has become in general.

I know… and even warrior’s hard builds are actually in risk of being detrimental to the team.

And even said that, you know something is wrong when you have to actively work to make yourself weaker.

Morale of the story is: ALL IS VAIN! T_T

Lol, made me laugh.

All hail your Warrior overlords!

Guys, its sad to say, but this condi meta is here to stay. Players are being rewarded for passive play in which all they do is spam all their condi skills and watch other players melt. As of now in SPvP 80% of all specs (that i have encountered this previous week of gameplay – it was actually 76.795 but i rounded up) that ive encountered were condition based because it they require little to no talent/skill to play well to get amazing results. On top of all that A-Net has now decided to nerf (even though its a small nerf) power based specs – the only specs in the game that require a skill cap to play well. Guys, in all honesty, what do you feel of this current meta? I personally feel that conditions need to be reduced before this game loses a large majority of its player base due to frustration.
(examples of this ridiculous meta are spirit rangers, PU mesmers, terrormancers, condi engi’s, condi warrior’s and ETC)

This ^^

AOE needs a major nerf. It is way too easy to just spam AOE, especially in a conquest type game mode. Make people actually pick a target and fight them.

hi Grim (are you Am0n?)
yes, unfortunately the condi meta has been a constant for several months.
many dedicated pvp players have left and pvp atm is filled with pve players doing dailys for AP… Devs seam to be very happy with this and proudly say that the pvp community is, growing (they ate actually AP farmers, not pvp players) but yeah… That’s what we have.

I log in for a few days after “(un)balance patches”. Then I go back to play REAL pvp games.
