Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,
I’m trying some condition buildin these days for roaming in wvw. 0/30/20/0/30, 30/30/10 etc. Before condition i was running power build. Power builds are a little weak against thief because you can’t load them of condition before they stealth (for exemple).
Someone told me that condition is better for roaming, but i have found some problem against some ranger, warrior, guardian. They clean condition very fast and are running heavy bunker build. I’m doing wrong? There are some tips against these classes or is better to play power build on necro for roaming?

Best thing to do is to save your condition burst for when all your fears are up. Keep them guessing with auto-attacks, grasping dead’s & torment stacks and after they blow there heal hit them with the chain fears. Just don’t try to burst them on impact.

I would also recommend splitting armour between carrion & rabid, scepter still does very strong direct damage.

I don’t know if you run epi but it is the single handed best way to kill most rangers as condi. Empathetic bond will continue peeling all condis from the ranger and since most attacks are AoE, good initiations can put your marks on top of the ranger and his pet. Find a good opportunity and epi the pet and he will most likely die. Some rangers are smart enough to counter with a pet swap but that only works once and if you are good with your positioning you will win that attrition fight. I don’t WvW often but when I do its in a group from 2-5 and I wreck with condi builds and find them more effective damage especially since so many people run zerker. Good bunker guards can be very long fights, if its 1v1 you can kill them I just question if its worth the time solo. Warriors have the most CC and as such are going to be the most dangerous to us when they re-join the meta. I’d put 30 into SR for foot in the grave with a standard condi build and you should have a counter to all three.
