Guild Wars 2

What are you guys using for condition removal in wvw?

I’m running a typical 20/20/0/0/30 shatter build.

Are there any tricks we can use with traits? I’d like something other than arcane thievery, 45sec cooldown kills it for me.

Typical shatter builds don’t have condition removal.

I use the condition removal food a lot on my mesmer. It really helps.

I use Mantra of Resolve. Null field keeps me confined too much to be useful.

the -40% condition duration food?

i roll **** da police style without condition removal. The only annoying * condition (especially when its long lasting) is Chill, i hate chiiiiiiill

I prefer Null Field, myself.

Sigil of Generosity isn’t bad for at least some sort of condition removal. Got a condition you don’t like? Find something (or someone) to beat on and it’ll give it to them. What a great idea.

No the saffron remove condition on heal food.

What utilitys are you guys using if you have no condi removal? I run a shatter build with the same traits and the only thing really killing me (in dungeons, spvp) are conditions. Therefor I use Mantra of Resolve. Short CD, instant cast, 2 casts with 1 time charge.

I personally use this both for PvE and WvW (tested also in PvP and its not bad at all)

I found pretty amazing the amount of survivability given by “Shattered Conditions” and “Vigorous Reveation” while still doing lot of damage with bleeding/burning/confusion

Personaly I find the best way to handle conditions is to know your enemy, use LOS, stealth and when is a situation you feel/know they will try apply conditions usea immunity.

Also Sigil of generosity is a winner.

Feel free to see my latets video, firts fight is a duel with a d/d 0-10-0-30-30 ele, a class/setup whos conditions is a threat. Later Its a necro and a 1 vs x. LOS, stealth immunitys and sigil of generostiy al used to handle survival.

I find Sigil of Gen is a bit overrated. It doesn’t have on demand removal for when you already have [x] stacks on you and need to kite away from a group, which is the situation where stacks will really hurt you. 1v1-2 it works much better, but it’s also much easier to avoid conditions in the first place.

Food wise you are going to be losing way too much DPS if you use negative cond duration/removal food.

Torch is cool but there’s too much BS that gets through stealth and you lose way too much control/damage mitigation that focus/OH sword/pistol offers.

I personally recommend a higher HP pool and running null field. Just my 2 cents

since i’m running rabid gear and staff at the moment with 30 in chaos.
my main condition removal is arcane thievery (traited), other than that i just heal through them with my short cooldown heal or the random (albeit common) regeneration boon.
