You can’t really make conditions uncleansable.

Besides, what happens to every other professions’ skills that apply these same conditions? Do they also become uncleansable?

Leave Dark Pact alone! I’ve probably killed more enemies in wvw (or caused the death of) as a result of this skill.
And yes uncleansable conditions kinda avoids the point of conditions. The reason condi will never become truly game breaking (even the current wvw epi meta) is because of how easy it is to remove them.

first post started well, every other was just wtf do i read

u cant just change conditions like that, and all of this is either horribly overpowered or a nerf

Warcry.1596:

You can’t really make conditions uncleansable.

Besides, what happens to every other professions’ skills that apply these same conditions? Do they also become uncleansable?

Wouldn’t it be fun if guards had uncleansable burning? 15 stacks appear out of nowhere, and POOOF! You are done.

This is the complete opposite of simple lol.
