Q:
Condi Cleansing outside of Mallyx and Jalis
don’t know, but i think its wanted that not every build has equal access to all.
i’m currently testing a glint/malyx Condi build. and i can get perma(!) immune to conditions if i want. Facet of Nature + Pain Absorption + Demonic Defiance.
also transfering Conditions from allies to me and giving them resistance.
If build this way Conditions are useless against the Revenant, so i can see why they limit its condi cleanse skills on other legends to zero
Well I’m not asking for high immunity uptime like Mallyx, I just wish condi cleansing wouldn’t be exactly 0 you know.
err not sure what build you’re going for but to me it seems like Revenant is perhaps the strongest condi cleanser outside of ele. If it lacks anything its enough stun-break.
Trait to clear on switch in invocation. Jalis heal clears 3. Ok most of the time in PvE, but nasty against stuff like tormenters in Verdant Brink that constantly reapply. Mallyx may be pretty important for PvP
As I specified in the OP, I’m using Shiro and Glint. Furthermore, I’m using Devastation, Invocation and, obviously, Herald.
Can you tell me what is it you use?
I’m not really sure on builds if you’re going the max dps PvE route, then maybe you are right and with damage you sacrifice cleanse. For WvW cleanse is insane. For sPvP it looks good for bunker, risk/reward and condi.
I’m looking at Mallyx/Glint, Mace/Axe – Hmr – Corruption, Invocation, Herald (on Cele) and it looks really, really strong.
Honestly, I think the whole class (regardless of fine tuning) has been very well designed. Its pretty much good at everything. Ventari is still a little bit clunky – Energy Expulsion needs to break stun on you and the fragments needs to persist on the floor for longer (more like Engi med kit drops).

I orignally tested out pretty much that build earlier, but with retribution instead of invocation to be tankier. Then I switched to a settler’s build with those legends using mace/axe/shield and its working really well as an all-purpose condi bunker, similar to a settler ranger but with more utility in teamfights.
My beef with celestial was that while I could stack might, the lack of hybridization for both sword and mace make it feel a bit odd when building a hybrid, since those weapons aren’t hybrid weapons at all, only offhand axe really is, so I felt like I couldn’t maintain that much condi pressure outside of mallyx. Also the hammer was blah, but its just an incredibly boring weapon to me.
Taking a break from GW2 to play various
Nintendo games..
