Guild Wars 2

As a sylvari, I went the rout of being a suppport/ dps elementalist. Some of my skills that grant regeneration do not cure conditions at all.

The biggest bug that bothers me was my racial skill, Healing Seed, which grants you health and then grants your team regeneration as long as they are around the Seed when it pulses. This grants regeneration and yes I tested it, it does not remove conditions. I was really excited when I thought about it like wow I can be a pretty good support for the team with this, but it does not work.

I hope I can get the attention of someone to make this bug fixed soon. I feel so sad with this bug on me

The trait states “remove a condition when applying regeneration to yourself or an ally” what it fails to mention is it removes a condition from yourself, working as intended or a mistake on Anet’s part is hard to determine.

Can you confirm that it doesn’t remove a condition from yourself at all?

If condition removal is what you’re after you’re better off going with Cleansing Wave (Water V – remove condition on water attunement) dropping Healing Rain then comboing in that field for some AOE heals.

Yes, using healing seed it does not remove conditions with the trait on. It clearly says when you have any type of regen on it will remove conditions but it does not work with the healing seed for sylvari at all. The other thing is that the 5 skill for eles already removes conditions so there is no real point to have the trait if i only use 5 which already removes stuff in th first place.

If they allowed healing seed to remove conditions with the trait it would make sylvari better then other races. Which isn’t supposed to happen… Racials are meant to be less powerful then professions abilities.

Racial skills are never affected by traits. For all the classes.

Then why would anyone want to use them?

did not know this. Assuming it’s true, thanks for the heads up. I have never really used my Sylvari racials, cause the regular class skills are better.

Then why would anyone want to use them?

uniqueness, role-playing, fun, etc. Not everyone is a min-maxer so they might be tempted to give them a try. Also, the racials are disabled in sPvP, so you CAN’T use them there.
