the current meta dont really take pure condi spec. you may see some condi necro time to time but the most condi spec you will see is cele engi

1. does it make the meta comp to be more vulnerable to conditions atm?
2. even the the cleanse available in group fight doesnt it make the enemy team to use all their cleanse/ utilities earlier in the fight and put them on vulnerable spot?
3. is there any room for condi spec ?
4. can mesmer feel this spot?
5. my mtd shatter Mesmer so far is great against the engi and can push hard the ele . does it gives any advantage to my team?

thanks in advance

Over all I would say condi mes in pvp while okay is not great. Most classes still have a lot of condi clears engi being one of the few that is sorta still susceptible to it.
The main problem with condi mes is that it has little to no spike damage and relies on the enemy being unable to clear the conditions that are placed on it. This means that fights last longer which is something that you do not want in pvp unless you are a bunker guard holding point against a few enemies.
While I think condi necro is sort of on the edge of being viable the power builds are far more useful at the moment.
Condi necro has the benefit of having fear which it can easily reapply allowing it to take enemy players out of the fight if they do not have a lot of stun breakers.

The upside to using MTD in the current meta is the availability of a lot of boon strip. I think a variety that I use could totally be viable in the current ranked meta. Unlike dps shatter, there’s no need to really find the right time to shatter. You shatter as often as possible (slight exaggeration).

I’ve NEVER had any issue against engis/eles using this condi build as long as my team continued with dps pressure.

after much time watching the esl team fight and looking at the mesmer and thieves job i have noticed few things
1. to be good you have to be good at picking your fight. you hardly see a thief or mesmer going against the engi or guardian or warrior.
2. the shatter mesmer usually hit and run doing maybe 1-2 spike and disengage the fight or looking other place to be . thus naking its dps over time very low

with my condi mesmer mtd (almost similar to the build above 0,4,4,0,6) i have no problem against the dd ele or engi and my dmg with a group is a nice 1k aoe dps .
the thief have much more problem to take me down.
and after playing a condi or power necro a bit i feel it must has a babysiting a lot to fully do all his dmg when as mesmer i hardly need babysitting from my group
