Guild Wars 2

Every time I play in WvW (don’t really sPvP very much) and face someone with a lot of conditions or is a bunker build, I lose.

Currently using 20/20/0/25/5 with zerker/knights gear + runes of the centaur. Utilities are blink, feedback, and either the condi-removal mantra or decoy. Even though I traited to remove conditions on heal, most condition builds can keep re-applying them.

Bunkers just keep doing damage while healing through all of mine. Due to having little sustain, eventually I lose or have to run away.

People keep telling me that conditions are our biggest weakness, but surely there has to be some way to trait/play around that weakness.

Do I just have to dodge more and trick people with clones?

well good build for fractals for wvw to squishy imo in dueling, for more surv change feedback to decoy, and mantra to arcane thievery.
well see if u against cond build u need more hp. vs direct dmg more thoug
vs bunker u just sumon phantasm and run around, or sumon 3 sword clone and run around

You’re phantasm build. try using “arcane theivery” and “phantasmal disenchanter” utilities. for you it will have a 16 second cooldown.

If you’re still too worried about it, use runes of melandru for -25% condition damage duration.

Pfff, Conditions? On a side note, yeh we aren’t amazing at dealing with them, but you should kill them before they get that many on you, you are using power gear! Utilities.

Blink is good, Decoy is also a must have for zerkers survivable stuff, then use arcane thievery if you aren’t confident with conditions, but pick your favorite there.

The guy above who said iDisenchanter. No. It is our most broken skill IMO and is a waste with that massive cooldown. Doesn’t always work either, bit like iMage tbh.

Conditions won’t even bother you anymore.

i play that spec in wvw and dont really have an issue with bunkers. vs meele kite away while keeping them snared with izerker. use your ccs when they dont have aegis up(wave with gsword and temportal curtain vortex) the knockdowns last a while especially when chained. dont forget to get retaliation out of your curtain before pulling with it.

in the same way that bunkers can outlast your damage better then other specs you can do the same.. fighting a bunker turns you into a bunker pretty much(since their dps sucks and it takes so long to kill you)

This.

I definitely understand not wanting to change runes though, (I’m addicted to the Swiftness Boon on Centaur too) but the -40% duration on the Bowl of Lemongrass Poultry Soup alone will make a huge difference for you. It’s super amazing like whoa.
