condi damage is the worst thing is this game
Compared to things like power LB ranger where you just spam 4>2 on cd. Or Vault thief where you spam vault, or PI thief where you spam headshot.
Don’t even get me started on power rev.

At least these builds are squishy. A tank condi war does insane condi dmg while having 10 sec of endure pain, passive healing and short CD blocks that also reflect. It cant get more braindead than that.

Condi warrior is squishier than power warrior.
Mesmer is the only class in the game where the condi spec is tankier than the power spec.

Only 4 class in this game use condis succesfully and one of these is the necromancer (the easiest class to kill of the whole game, then don’t panic, you’re safe from him).
And frequently classes like warrior and engi don’t even use condis.
There’s only the mesmer that is really strong with condi, the warrior spam 3 burst and if you clean that he’s powerless against you (in terms of damage).
I feel some classes like thief, ranger LB, stealth mesmer, revenant, more strong than a condi warrior.
If 5 classes over 9 use direct damage and if 3 if this 4 classes frequently chose to use direct damage there’s a reason: with this burst meta the direct damage is better than condi, expecially with the amount of condi clean skills/traits/boon(resistance) in the game.

So basically everything against which, your F1-5-4-3-spam doesn’t work, guess people have no other options against something that sits on his behind laughing while spamming unblockable aoe that trigger several traits at once plus sigils and more crap, aoe crap on near instant casting mind you.
P.S this thread was over even before starting…the second you mention “condi”….all the necro lurking on the forum will come rushing at you…with blood stained eyes

I can’t figure out what class dies to shroud 5-4-3 combo.
Actually I can’t figure out how someone manages to even get his by that. Shroud 5 has a bigger telegraph than gravedigger does.

Condi spam is bad, especially mesmers
Condi engis and reapers are a close follow up

Mesmer is the only class in the game where the condi spec is tankier than the power spec.
And tbh with Carrion it’s not much tankier than Marauder or Demolisher.
Regarding rabid and wanderer – damage is kitten bad using those on mesmer, especially with HoT defensive powercreep in general – you end up tickling your enemy.
I maintain that power mesmer is more dangerous than condi mesmer, condi just allows bigger margin of error through sustained dps rather than all out burst.
Hybrid play (ie Viper) allows for a small burst of direct damage while maintaining some level of sustained dps through condi application. However it is easily the squishiest of the lot as it requires more time to kill than pure zerker so needs to stick around in fights. Zerker can kill and move on extremely quickly.
Given defense is more ability based than stat based right now (ie shield 4, sword 2, F4, etc), all mesmer builds no matter the damage focus can build to the same level of survivability. Only dire/trailblazer in wvw goes against this trend – but that stat set is an extreme.

…every class that can’t 900-1200 range condi spammers? or have evasive skills on their weapon set? or that have opportune condi clear? and they’re forced at melee range regardless where they just have 2-3 dodges and no major dmg mitigation?
Basically every class you don’t complain about as you faceroll them when using a necro, if you play one of those professions : you either fight to the death trying to (impossibly) hold the point or you run away ( if lucky)
With all said and done…why won’t you change class already?
With all the nerfs thread that necros have started against eles for the last 3 years, many players have been forced to drop their main as no more soloq competitive…time for you to do the same…karma a kitten am I right?

Well its good thing then that there isnt a class that lacks all the things you mentioned…
Yo! Am I too late for the clownfiesta?
