Guild Wars 2

Smite condition still removes only 1 condition instead of 2. Also Wings of Resolve is still affected by cripple and chilled

Marvok.1083:

. Also Wings of Resolve is still affected by cripple and chilled

Testing this right now. So far it’s not affected by chill and cripple.

Smite condition still only removes 1 condition. Tested about 10 times in wvw. I don’t use dragonhunter so cant say about wings.

… they changed the number from 1 to 2, but the condition removal still remains 1 in game… somebody is lazy, or didn’t slept for a while…

Wings of Resolve works about half the time… It is 100% still being impacted by chill and cripple sometimes. Just dueling with my friend I moved about 2 inches while chilled. Fix is a lie :/

mi fav part

Is anybody excited about the buff to smite conditions after it is bug fixed?

I’m happy that our conditional removal got buffed! CoP and smite condition both got love they deserved. The fix to F2 makes it a better form of conditional removal too.

nope

still does next to kitten to address what’s ACTUALLY wrong with guardians

1. lack of sustain outside of long CDs
2. lack of sustained damage outside of gimmicky JI + insert skill combo burst.
3. unimaginative traits (ONE WHOLE ADDITIONAL SECOND OF RETALIATION on a trait buff)

new patch , I tested again no fix on either bug

Same here. Only clears 1 condition and not 2 despite the description.

…in about 6 months per Anet’s track record.

Don’t you say a con word about ji, it’s done nothing but carry the guardian when no other skill can. Provides burn, stun break and placement. That skill ain’t done nothing wrong so don’t you say a con word about ji.

Other stuff is fair, though. Guardian sustain gets pretty bleak.

Hmm I got rid of smite conditions in favor of a trap on my medi-DH and kept contemplation of purity. If the bug is gone, should I be switching these out for more damage (WvW)?

Personally I’d go with:
Purification – Interrupt, Blind, Regen, +8k heal on trigger
Smite Condition – Fury, Damage, Heal, condie removal
CoP – Condie removal (not used for the fury)
Test of Faith – Damage, Protection, Interrupt
RF – Simply too god for your survival to be switched out

Very close to what I run right now; I still use Judge’s Intervention to close gaps but will definitely consider switching it out depending on the situation.

Also, I assume you run with the trap trait (Piercing Light) with two traps spec’d? I keep switching between that and soaring devestation. Again, I suppose it depends on if I’m roaming or running with others.

I dropped JI when I’m running Longbow since when running it I’d usually want to keep the gap open, but if I switch to melee the 600 unit gap close on Sword and 800 on F2 feel enough with added pull from F1, and I prefer Piercing Light which can indirectly mitigate incoming damage with the interrupts while Soaring Devastation is an awesome crit when it lands the target, I felt it was too easy to miss and not worth to take over cooldowns on the traps

Not sure i would use CoP if there is more than one necro on enemy team. That boon corrupt right after cleansing is gonna hurt.

I payed some matches today and it looks to me smite does remove two condis. But I can say, it doesn’t look like smiters boon does in heal.

As an aside, does anyone know which condition turns into resistance? Using cop today against a malyx and a reaper i gained it and the tooltip doesn’t say it applies it

chill turns into resistance

Both the trait and the utility were working for me last night.
