Guild Wars 2

Was curious on how much condi removal is too much after 15 april, I’m thinking a build like this should be able to counter pretty much every condi build :

- clean up to 4 conditions every 10 seconds (passive) with Signet of renewal and empathic bond.
- clean poison and/or blind every 10 seconds by dodging ( since I will run regen build poison can really destroy my build ).
- Signed of renewal fagainst the necro condi bombs.
- clean up to 6 conditions with the new trait survival of the fittest using muddy terrain and keen edge.

It’s maybe too much considering some nerfs on condition like perplexity runes/impale/duuhfire ecc… And the damage won’t be to good, enough to kill most people but not as good as a condi Bm bunker…

Right now I’m running with the same equipe but with 10/0/30/20/10 and it’s pretty effective but not enough to counter perplexity engis and condi bomb necros.

What do you guys think ?

Yop!
Not really gonna speak about damage (not yet sure how Dwayna rune will turn out), just a few observations (times based on the builder’s data, not the in-game datas – might differ) :
- Burn is a per tick condition. The smoldering sigil adds .5 sec on torch #4 (from 9 to 9.5 – so you don’t get another tick), and nothing on #5 (once again, no other tick). a condi rune (eg sigil of bursting) would be better (condi damage from 1264 to 1332)

- When running around, Signet of the hunt is nice, but you do not have weapons that demand placement (eg:shorth bow)… It might help to kite in combat, but I would consider swapping it for lightning reflex (survival), that also gives you vigor (avoid damages with more dodges) and is a stunbreak and will take off immibilize after the update…

I think you intended this build to be a WvW build, right?
I modified a few things about your build even if I found it very good and accurate overall:

• I changed the Krytan Drakehound for Wolf (fear is too useful imo).
• I merged Sword and Dagger in the same set (this is my personal preference, I just find myself confortable in having all the evades in one set), I put a superior sigil of venom on dagger and corruption/geomancy on Axe/Torch set.
• The utilities I would take are: Troll unguent (repalce for Healing spring if in Zerg); Lightning reflexes; Muddy terrein; Signet of the hunt (repalce for Signet of renewal if in Zerg) and Entangle
• As for traits I found your choices perfect even if I would give a try to the new poison trait in WS trait line, maybe replacing the Axe/Torch set for Shortbow and see how it goes!

Why would you take both? SotF is perfectly enough. If it’s not bugged, it should also proc from Soft Fall trait which triggers Muddy Terrain on every falling damage. It means that if you find and fight on some minimal hill you cleanse conditions every time you jump off.

Take Barskin instead maybe. Or try other tree line

Thank you guys, all you input are apretiated

@Jocksy – Thank you for the sigil tip, I didn’t knew that… signet of the hunt is just for roaming, when I play in OS I usually switch it with lightining reflex as stun breaker if possible or signet of the wild.

@Dave pare – The build is intended for 1vs1 more than anything, I find doggy more usefull in this case and Entangle is way to easy to dodge, and doesn’t work against thiefs, also having 0 weapon evades on 1 set is very bad against burst classes

@Rym – I would take both to hard counter necros and hambow warriors, the necro can send me like 6/8 condition and reapply them costantly ( not sure the cd ), with my ranger I cannot survive it against good necros… with my condi mesmer/ele I can kill them pretty easily.
