The Ghost of Christmas Past
Diamond Skin, Too Powerful
This trait needs to be looked at. It’s not just the trait but the build people are running with it. If you are playing any condi class beside say a warrior you simply cannot do enough damage to ‘break’ the diamond skin and eles know this. The trait should be reduced to 97% hp or just simply removed all together. The ele will just be immune, immune, immune. I dueled a diamond skin ele for 15 mins on my condi engi was only able to finally win by using smack when he was close enough and had his blink on CD.. otherwise he would just run away heal and come back into the fight. If people wonder why this game is dying its because of the people developing it. You guys need to fire the people that are working on your classes because seriously some of the things in this game are just straight kittened.
This is a riot. You WON the duel with a build that is MEANT TO BE COUNTERED by ds ele, yet are still complaining that ds is op. Is ele considered such a free kill these days that they are not allowed to put up a fight? It’s obvious that this ele had to sacrifice all damage in order to pick up diamond skin and good healing traits, so I doubt he could even scratch you. The idea that it took “too long” for you to kill him is the most entitled thing I’ve heard in a while. The arrogance of some players is astounding…
And 97% just makes me rofl. Almost any attack, even a necro mark will break 3% of ele’s tiny hp pool with ease.

Funy enough i have never had any problems damaging Ele’s with my Condition ingi. I berely even realize that they only get conditions after 90% hp. However my condi warrior bites out his teeth trying to get one down.
to OP : Folks dont realise u have to forgo many traits to attain that trait. Majority of eles are NOT built that way now. It was a FOTM for a few weeks but not anymore.
Stop making diamond skin sound like eles are walking immortal beings. Have u tried hitting a regen warrior? Or fighting a PU mesmer?
What’s wrong with diamond skin? any decent thief will instant kill it! this is the counter of diamond skin… which is a counter troll build to condi spam meta…

This is the problem. People in this game expect to be handed free kills. The fact that he still WON and is still complaining that it is overpowered says it all. Some people just don’t any sort of challenge at all and would rather be handed everything on a silver spoon.
The fact the trait sucks and most eles want it to be replaced with something a little more useful should say enough about it. I havent even seen an ele run it for a long time and even if they do, it is SO easy to get them below the 90% health mark anyway that it makes very little difference.
I have fought against this build on my Condi Necro, Condi Mesmer and Condi Engineer who are no longer condition builds Due to the fact my Condi ele is much more fun and rewarding but i had NO issues killing ele with Diamond skin, does it take a few extra seconds sure, is it 30 trait point talent worthy? Not a chance.
Just remove it. Win=win
