  It’s propably very popular. There are a few alterations of this build out there. The food is optional. Most of the time I’m not using it.

• My Hybrid Mesmer

  Technically not a pure condition dmg build. It relies but heavily on condition caused by illusions. Stacks up to 12-15 bleeds very quickly. Don’t know, if you want to consider it for your analysis. Do with it, what you wish.

P/D thief, definitely not ‘meta’ for thief or even for p/d builds.

I do think ‘condition meta’ is somewhat of an oxymoron or else meaningless term because… conditions are not meta. And the builds are different for each class. It’s like saying ‘power meta’.

Something to remember (which is fairly well known), conditions are generally dreadful against:

• Roamers – very often have cleansing, or have enough vitality that they can deal with a fair amount of conditions. You will need a build that can effectively bait them into creating an opening for your primary condition (by tricking them into cleansing ones you don’t care about).
• Organised Guilds – forget about conditions, organised guilds don’t have cooldown problems (as the cooldown is spread over many players) and can cleanse conditions all day long.

In general conditions don’t offer much in WvW, except when you hit a run-of-the-mill PUG zerg: om nom nom nom. If you have a condition-heavy build (such as this Confusion mesmer ) you will annihilate PUG zergs – but everything else will have you for breakfast (including the WvW NPCs).

There is no build type meta for WvW you can’t bring sPvP stuff and just apply it to WvW. The meta would be the siege placements and tactics you can figure some of those things out because they would apply across every server and probably be extremely similiar.

This isn’t sPvP!

You can figure out/general idea of GvG but thats different.

If you feel like WvW is condition meta(lol) what was it before condition meta? What was it before when the game came out what was that meta called?
