Guild Wars 2

But they are nerfing diamond skin ele. With all the Rev nerfs can we get a little condi removal in this balance patch that’s not based on a boon that is easily stripped? Especially with Necro’s corrupt boon having a 15 second cool down and the scepter auto having it as well.

I’ll be honest, I hope that Scepter change doesn’t go through. Corrupt Boon I think would have been better to buff it in the other direction to total boon conversion on a long cooldown.

Failing that, yes, Revenant does need more anti-condition help. I doubt switching a weapon set to staff will do enough.

Corrupt Boon has been plagued by Boon spam. It does too little nowadays and Signets completely out-does it.
Corrupt Boon needed some sort of change, but Scepter most definitely did not. Axe would have been better off with a change than Scepter.

I agree with you.

So restore Corrupt Boon to its launch state where it was a total boon wipe. Now it’s a burst support skill with definite purpose instead of trying to directly compete in the niche Signets of Suffering does.

Signets will still have their niche, but wont be forced for condi builds (Spite is primarily damage anyway, and doesn’t allow for Necros to use Curses or Blood Magic or Death Magic at all; they’re being forced into Spite/Soul Reaping/Reaper).
Having a total boon wipe would be nice, but the boons are reapplied very often (look at Glint!) so wiping them every 40 seconds isn’t quite as helpful as it should.
That’s why Signets are used so much: you have multiple small corruptions that can be used one after another. If one fails, you still have more and they don’t have disgusting cool downs or awful drawbacks.

Prepare your kitten for more pointless nerfs next week and roll different class for season 2. Reaper looks interesing with mercenary ammu.

Not a fan of putting that corruption on scepter with no restrictions. That boon corrupt on chain would be a good thing for GM Curses as couple people suggested.

With version they want to implement, people will just continue to play Spite Signets and enjoy more free boon corruption.

Yeah it’s too much boon conversion buffing in one hit
