Q:

So, I played BWE 3 and I was really exited about Mallyx. I love condi builds and revenant is so cool to me. Anyway, I just couldn’t figure Mallyx out.

If I were in a group setting, specifically in PvP or WvW, then the skill set makes perfect sense. I could even see it working well in groups around Verdant Brink and I expect it to be usable somewhere in the raid content. But how is this skill set supposed to operate when you’re not in a massive crowd?

The gameplay seems based around two main mechanics: taking condis from allies and stealing boons from enemies. So, what happens when you have no allies around to rip condis from and your enemies aren’t pumping boons? It doesn’t really seem in line with Anet’s current philosophy to introduce a new gameplay style that is unusable for players who don’t always have friends around.

Have I missed something?

Yes. You have. The boon removal and resistance are more PvP oriented things. Malyx is about torment, those two skills are just utility.

In general unyielding anguish and embrace the darkness are your attacks. Use the former then the later, auto attack, boom it’s dead
