Guild Wars 2

So did anyone else notice we can now take 3 traits that give us regen at the same time? To be specific, soothing wave, soothing disruption, and elemental attunement. Coupled with cleansing water, and at least in WvW you’ll be looking at constant condi clears along with almost perma regen. Kind of renders diamond skin a bit more irrelevant imo (note I have yet to try diamond skin).

What I said from the beginning about soothing wave that it would a pretty decent trait IF you run 30 water.

Pretty sure there is a ICD on cleansing water so you might not cleanse your allies when you attune to water and soothing wave regen procs beforehand.

In other words another selfish passive trait that doesn’t help your team.

In WvW there is no ICD on cleansing water the OP referenced WvW. sPvP there is a ICD. I have tested this in WvW myself a while ago.

and once again everyone is forced back into the classic d/d bunker spec in anets pathetic attempt to promote build diversity by nerfing lesser used builds into the ground.

Well one of my guildies is testing 0/0/30/10/30 right now and I gotta say it is pretty strong against condi classes like p/d thieves, I suspect it will be against necro’s, and engi’s. This is just in a 1v1 situation but it looks pretty powerful.

Watched another condi ele running 30 earth also and looks good on condi eles also.

I suspect necro’s especially will not be amused fighting a 30 earth condition ele. Combine with rock solid for ether renewal heal bursting. Profit.

We’ve better at clearing conditions off of ourselves (not that we needed it,) but our ability to clear them off allies has been nerfed. We can no longer take Aquamancer’s Alacrity and Cleansing Wave at the same time. Can clear two conditions on water swap or have faster healing rain, but we can’t have both anymore.
