Guild Wars 2

I met a berserker with a lot of resistance and stability, even though I corrupt his boons, he has a lot of them and the pulsing resistance make my condies uneffective.
Plus, he can just CC me once and deals 11K with Gun Flame (3/4s cast time, 5s CD, burning, daze and 1500 range). I have not enough dodges or LF and cannot corrupt his boons fast enough to CC him with fear.
I’m a “standard” condi necro (I didn’t buy HoT).

what about corrosive poison cloud? no gunflame for 8 seconds.

I may try with CPC. But the self-weakness could be a problem, he can just come closer, in that case I can’t dodge at all.

You should have some condi-transfer which would make the weakness a non-issue and instead actually helpful.

Corrosive Poison Cloud is great in the matchup, just be aware if they’re running Signet of Might, as unblockable projectiles are not destroyed by the Cloud. Plague is great for sustaining through CC, burst chains, and stances. Corrupt Boon is your best friend; use it on stability whenever applicable to gain time for yourself through CC. Keep him just out of arm’s reach, far enough to be out of GS/Mace/Shield range and to have enough reaction time to react to Berserk Gun Flame.

Also you can spam weakness and enjoy how their gunflame hits for 4k

How is self weakness a problem on condi necro? It doesnt lower your condi ticks only direct dmg (25% on average)

Typically don’t need to as badly, then. Remember: if he’s in the cloud, he has Weakness. Right now, CPC is a rather strong utility choice on any build, but most people still won’t run it. Yes, the Weakness (if you don’t use it) hurts your endurance regeneration, but since they have Weakness and can’t use projectiles against you, this isn’t quite as large of a drawback as it normally would be.
