Guild Wars 2

For asura necromancers and if you had to choose, which one would take?

poison cloud, it’ll add a condition to you so when you heal that’s an extra 700 easy plus whatever other conditions you have on you

Since they reduced CPC’s cast time and recharge, Radiation Field is no longer hands down better. Still arguably so, but it’s no longer as obvious.

And once ArenaNet gives Corrosive Poison Cloud projectile deflection, this question will no longer be asked

CPC is now better.

- 1/2 second casting time now compared to RF’s 1/4 second cast time. Was 1 second. This feels like the most important change because of the amount of times CPC used to be interrupted etc., which made the skill feel like a waste to even try casting for what it was.
- 30 second base cooldown compared to RF’s 60 second cooldown. Was 40 seconds.

Combined with CPC being unblockable and similar uptime durations, CPC comes out on top.

IF poison cloud can CONVERT any enemy’s combo field into friendly poisonous field, the problem of how CPC is underused will be instantly fixed.

Combo field hate? Never thought of that one.
