Guild Wars 2

I think these really need to go. I believe it is a dumb and beyond OP mechanic. It rewards not dodging or moving away from damage.The minute a necro does this youre auto dead. I understand condition removals, but transfer is a bit dumb.

I feel like they are pushing thiefs to just be the OP burst set ups people complain about.

I feel we have horrible condition, we need to either get stealth off or be up there for lotus spam, and all the AE other classes have just destroy evasion thiefs it seems.

To me only fun non op spec for thief is d/s.

What are the rest of your thoughts on this?

Have a few quick condition removals if you don’t feel like investing in sigils. Believe me I hate that kitten too, especially from monsters.

My favorite is Signet of Agility combined with Fleet of Foot and Uncatchable. Since all I use is Bleeds and Cripples, the moment I get my own conditions transferred onto me I use my SoA to cleanse bleeding and then dodge through the necro and reapply Bleeding and Cripple while removing my cripple from me.

Hope this helps a little.

best way to combat necros is to have few conditions yourself and many ways to remove conditions, along with high burst preferrably.

basically, a power/crit build with condition removal.

far as i know, necros still have little in the way of defense.
