Guild Wars 2

I’m really confused as to why this hasn’t been addressed already. Savage Instinct & Druidic Clarity are both minor traits, they both break stuns, one relies on you getting full adrenaline and the other requires you to fill Astral Force. So we can agree they are basically the same thing. So why does Savage Instinct only remove 1 condition, where as Druidic Clarity removes 13? Is there a valid reason for this or has this been something that has been completely overlooked?

We can get full Adrenaline a fair bit faster than a Druid can get full Avatar. But on the other hand, one condi is kinda low.

Celestial avatar takes awhile to build up. Where as if you pair berserk with Cleansing Ire and Smash Brawler you can cure up to 3 condis every 5 seconds.

I would have thought that to be the case too, but I also play druid (staff) and I can get Astral Force and pop Celestial Avatar a lot faster and more times than Beserker mode. Celestial Avatar has a 10 second cool down NOT traited, while Beserker mode is 15 seconds.

You can also pop in and out of Celestial Avatar whilst keeping most of your Astral Force, which is why you can trigger it a lot more.

It would cool to see Savage Instinct remove more conditions. It has decent synergy with Rousing Resilience, having it remove like 5 condis would at least make losing Cleansing Ire a bit less painful. You’re also giving up Smash Brawler, which is a really strong trait.

Maybe making it pulse cleanse a few condis every few seconds or maybe blind immunity while Berserk?
