Guild Wars 2

I seem to be having trouble getting Cleansing Ire to work, or maybe I’m just not doing it right. Every time I have a condi on me, I’ll try hitting my burst skill but no cleanse.

1. Does the Burst attack have to land a hit for it to work?
2. Does it clean immobilization? I’m having a bit of trouble with that and am about to go with Mobile Strikes. I was hoping to use CI instead.

It can be that the condi’s are cleansing but they’re probably being reapplied faster than you’re cleansing.Cleansin ire only removes condis if you hit your target..so you can cleanse yourself on clones/ranger pets aswell.1 condi removal for every bar spend.So if you’re blinded it won’t remove them.It does remove immobilize,but again only on a hit,it’s always good to grab mobile strikes together with cleansin though,since the immobi stacking can be pretty devastating at times if it goes to 5+ sec and if you’re not using melandru runes.So when using mobile strikes you can easily leap out,switch weaps and burst your target afterwards to cleanse yourself.

1. They have to hit something – if the burst skill misses or gets dodged, it won’t cleanse anything. Only exception is Longbow, which will ALWAYS cleanse conditions, that’s one of the reasons why it’s a must have for PvP.
2. It does remove everything, Immob included.
