the reason i am asking is because they can stack a lot faster then condition removal skills can really make a difference. a good example of this is i had every condition removal skill i had working.then a necro and a Mesmer come along.they hit me with tons of conditions i used my skills to remove them only to have a lot more on me in less then a sec. and i am not talking about a few cons on me i am talking alot. lol just seems like these removal skills are a waist of time

The same could be said about defensive skills. Two players can burst you down with ease and you’ll have little defenses for every single burst attack they have.

My advice, don’t get caught in a 1v2 against two DPS classes who prioritizes in dealing large amounts of damages.

On that particular comp, Condi Mesmers are hard to face 1v1 (mesmers in general actually) and Necros can transfer conditions from himself as well as take conditions from his allies and transfer it onto you. Necros can also convert Your Boons into Conditions. If you had a lot of boons… well, he likely condi burst you because of it.

Hope that helps.

When are you using them, what class are you using?

For the most part, unless you are playing a thief or an engineer, you have many options to deal with conditions, if that is what you are having the most trouble with.

You mentioned fighting two players at the same time, 2v1, you shouldn’t expect to win, basic math.

Are you making sure to be selective about which conditions to remove? For the most part, bleeding/poison (until you need to heal) isn’t too threatening, burn/chill can be a strong priority to remove, etc.
