Guild Wars 2

how do we exactly deal with conditions short of marrying to the demon stance?

Staff 4. Riposting Shadows from Shiro to deal with CC ones. Infuse Light from Glint to deal with damage ones. We are weak against conditon on purpose by design and this is the reason why we are weak against it unless we heavily build for it.

switching to staff, is a non starter your damage goes down the toilet for a full 10s during which condis will be back up.

We are not weak, we are essentially helpless.

Um..staff is not really that weak as people make it out to be really.. But i wouldnt count on cleanse form staff 4 – failed 6 times in a row for me to clean condi.. In current state i might as well take it as description error.

We could in theory go with Jalis to deal with condi but hes so underpowered that its better to stay away from this trash legend.

Problem is Mallyx was initially designed to self-inflict and copy conditions, but was last minute changed to the kitten version we have now :-(

And that was for the best. The problem is that all legends must have a way to deal with conditions, otherwise, we end up having to marry one which defeats the porpoise of the class.

The fun fact is that rev is supposed to weak to condi (anything that inst mallyx) yet engineer which was also supposed to be weak to condi like Roy says, cleans them like no tomorrow. Balance archieved. Skill in this game doesnt matter anymore, its all down to builds now.

Yea, now he’s not only useless for Conditions in PvE, but now has no real strategy and almost no risk in PvP(although that’s mostly Enhanced Bulwark’s fault).

staff is stronk what are you talking about.

and you deal with condition just like how you deal with power, you dodge dem skillz.

It has always been like this. Hell, it has been like this since Guild Wars 1, where people called it Build Wars. And honestly, in a game with a build system this complex is not surprising at all.

Engi is still pretty weak against condi without building against it. Warriors also were supposed to be weak against condi by design, but ANet forgot about that years ago.
