Guild Wars 2

My general feeling about mes is there generally isn’t really enough good builds with condition removal. I know the devs have deliberately made this a class weakness as they explained in the class philosophy ready-up a while ago. However I find it makes Mes feel a bit unbalanced to play especially in sPvP. In WvW or world PvE you usually are in a zerg and can rely on others to provide it.

Looking at the new specializations I don’t see much of a change in this unless you go inspiration (generally a weak line IMO), the 4 other traits lines are pretty much bereft of condition removal, with usually a trait that can only remove 1 condition at a time. As for mantras I really dislike the obscene channelling times, but also the competitive they pose for utility slots against better skills.

I’m wondering how people are planning on incorporating a decent level of condition removal with the new specializations, or will you run an almost cleanse free build?

Cleanse free, pretty much. However, generosity sigil works.
