Not sure what everyone expected if truth be told. All anyone has to do is go back to the Dec 10th thread and see the writing on the wall.

The best case senario I’ve found against condi meta builds is just to survive against them. Remove what I can and heal through the rest. If they are really good we can’t kill each other, if they are bad I “might” be able to kill them if they don’t run away.
Of course I’ve been running a high Healing Power medi build with MI (I’m actually getting used to the skill). Nothing better then MI into a refuge with your thief buddy.
After this patch, power builds did take a hit, which might mean moving more things into vit over toughness to deal with condis better.
But to your point Chris, it does blow. A nerf to our vigor, useless traits, poor attempts to make a condi guard viable, etc etc. I’m not too thrilled with it, either. The best thing we can do is adapt =/ and be thankful that we aren’t a useless profession.

Honestly the only thing I’ve found that can keep up with a condi build’s application speed is a Warrior. Guardians were never really able to keep up.
The issue with balancing, that I’ve found, is that a good part of their balancing/design/community team (the PvP-oriented members) tend to play condi-based builds. Grouch is a good example; he played condi nades for quite a while. It’s hard to see the other side of the fence if you never play over there.

Imposing a change for PvE with zero thought to how it affects balance elsewhere, is incredibly shortsighted.
for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Honestly we should wait and see how things play out. The patch hasn’t even been out for a day. Give it a few weeks or a month, and see how things evolve. Like I’ve been using Generosity and Purity sigils when going against heavy condi players, and I’ve been loving it.

I think the generosity/purity change (fix) is the only thing that as peaked my interest in the whole update, especially since they’ve knocked 33% off the chill duration for my usual hydromancy setup
Yeah let us all run out and buy superior generosity sigil at 30 to 60 gold a pop or whatever they are currently trending at

Essentially this. That a 70g sigil is viewed as a good counter to condi meta is hilarious.
