Guild Wars 2

Can we please nerf condition damage for WvW. I know that stab and cc changes have made things a little better but condition damage just too kitten strong melee train can’t even do much. If you leap into enemy as a frontline you are guaranteed to get 50000 conditions on you asap. This aspect of the game is just really kitten annoying and yes this is another rant post

Sounds like you need to change up your group’s composition.

Sounds like you need to actually stop using ’zerker gear.

Yeah….noticing a lot of zergs just using that “bloodlust” sigil. Please, keep running zerker gear. I’m having a field day with my necro.

Conditions? What are those? Are those edible?

Full sentinel big fat max size Charr Dragonhunter shouts frontline balls deep with trooper runes + cleansing sigils & condi reduction food with elite invulnerable along with all your buddies’ cleanses in a team comp that isn’t just full zerk twerk time.

I don’t know why but all I can think of when I nose dive into the enemy is MC Hammer’s song; CAN’T TOUCH THIS.

Yes it’s gimmicky but it is glorious. And majestic. And fun.

Have not tried it with the buff in this patch to guard shouts regarding CD reduction, more condi removal uptime? Sounds good to me.

I’d look into adding in some revs running mallyx and boon duration (wanderer’s – ptv with boon duration added. Or you can look at anything that includes concentration) so they can use Pain Absorption to pull condi away from you and slap some resistance on you as well so you can ignore the condi they don’t pull off you.

I had created a mesmer build that had one of its elements as glamor resistance for zerging but anet decided glamor resistance in spvp was too strong so nerfed it in all game modes. I still use it though since it’s still better than no resistance.

Conditions in WvW have already been changed enough. The ~700 condition damage needed to achieve significant dps alongside the nerf to condi duration food has made survivability against conditions substantially easier. It’s only really Necros that can make an impact with a condi build during large battles.

Anyway, a basic melee train should not be melting to conditions. With a fairly balanced composition your AoE cleanse should well outpace the few condi Necros present.

Melee Train….Well there you go.

When I’m roaming conditions can hurt a lot if I don’t take a build or gear set up to help reduce duration or cleanse…

In a zerg I run a zerker front line guardian with staff and shouts, I don’t even notice conditions unless it’s chill or cripple.

Still – run into a group of condi mesmers and necros and you are down for the count.

And if you run into a group of power based mesmers and necros, you are down, even faster.

So nerf power builds ?

I’m actually happy where things are. If you’re having trouble sustaining as frontline, either beef up more or learn to dodge the red circles.

A well coordinated melee train now can sustain themselves pretty well, especially if you throw 3 guards in each party. If the melee train moves together, its hard to stop them.

The point isn’t to go back to the full melee train meta, but have a balance between the current and past meta’s.

Noein.7635 that is the thing that start me made disliking this game, trains everywhere, blob this and that thats all players do in this game, all the team effort that is needed is follow the tag and spam keys where commander says.
