Natural Purification would be hilarious with MH Axe. Oh god.

- Natural Resistance: Halves the duration of conditions applied to the user.

This trait need to have some drawback or requirement, otherwise it’s too strong.
The drawback can be: takes 100% more condition damage.
It’ll still be strong if you manage to kick your -condition duration even further, especially against soft CC condition.

- Natural Purification: Gain 60 (0.4) health whenever a boon on you ends.
0.4 Healing coefficient is just too OP. Consider you have 1000 healing power, each hit on Axe 1 grants you 460 × 3 = 1320 HP per one hit over 1 second. That’s like 39600 hp over 30 seconds, which is CRAZY.

The coefficient can be like 60+(0.05).

Natural Resistance – Way too strong, especially if we combine it with Melandru Runes and Lemongrass soup for virtual condition immunity (which can already be done by warriors thanks to a condition reducing trait of their own, and it is very broken). The max. that would make sense and not be hilariously overpowered is 20%, especially if it affects all conditions.

Aspect of Oak – Is this a group support trait? If so, it would make more sense (and not be hilariously overpowered) if Critical damage were reduced by 10%.

Calamity Aura – Actually, not a bad trait suggestion

Natural Purification – healing coefficient should be low….like 0.025-0.05 kind of low.

Nature’s Wrath – ….It already exists

Yeah.. no.. thanks.

Not another useless condition build.

We need more team support. Something like a spirit weapon (like ele ice bow). Or perhaps temporary spirits like frost spirit.

All the things OP listed will be utterly useless for PvE. We don’t want a spec strictly for pvp.

There are 3 game modes in this game. They are not going to ballance the whole new aspect of the class around just 1 of them. (Which also has the lowest amount of population in the game).

So…

Natural Resistance: Halves the duration of conditions applied to the user.

— As a grandmaster trait, this could be possible, but I think (if they went with something like this) they would limit it to -33% or less. Remember, with -Condi-duration on self food and runes, you can get -65% already, without any traits. So any -Condi-duration traits will HAVE to be -33% or less. If its a blanket “all condi’s”, then I’d ballpark at -15% duration or something like that, even as a grandmaster.

Aspect of Oak: Reduces incoming critical damage received by half. 9 seconds. Interval 3 seconds.

- Cooldown would need to be much higher, and there would need to be a trigger mechanism. "Upon losing 10% of your current health in one hit, take half damage for 5s. 90s CD.

Calamity Aura: Increases condition duration applied to enemies by 10%. 9 seconds. Interval 3 seconds. 600 radius.

— AoE condi effects should probably be shifted mostly to the necro. That said, I’d probably phrase a condi-trait with this name as : “When applying a condition to foe, apply one stack of Vulnerablity (5s) per unique condition on that foe.” — Rangers are already one of the best applicators of Vuln, so I can see us getting different ways to keep that.

Natural Purification: Gain 60 (0.4) health whenever a boon on you ends.

— going by the name, I’d suggest: “Whenever a boon you apply ends, remove one condition. 10s CD, allies have their own ICD.”
— We need more condi-clear, and a trait like this would make us more viable in a supportive sense.

Nature’s Wrath: Increases damage by 1% per condition on you.

— not bad, but a little counter productive. To get anything out of this trait you would have to maintain several conditions, which will probably end up killing you. I’d re-phrase this to: “On stun-break, apply 5 stax of might and fury to self (10s duration)”

love the GW1 references. vigorous reflex, cant imagine how crazy that would be, specially with 4 of our weapons giving dodge on skill. (sword, dagger, sb, gs) love equinox as well, i get that nature feeling where conditions rots boons. keep the ideas coming
