Guild Wars 2

Will be turned into resistance boon. Endure pain is safe.

“I tweeted this while I was at the community party after PAX on Friday, but I figured I would reiterate it here for those curious.
I asked Roy about what they wanted to do with warrior Berserker Stance in regards to the introduction of the new Resistance boon. He told me that it was likely to change from the current immunity buff that prevents incoming conditions (and doesn’t really have much counterplay) to one that instead pulses the Resistance boon every few seconds over the buff’s duration. He said that they wanted to give it counterplay by switching to the boon, but give it a periodic refresh pulse to avoid that icky feeling of having it ripped and the cooldown wasted.
Edit: As a follow-up, I also asked him if anything would change with Endure Pain; he said they’re currently happy with it and don’t see it changing soon.”

Will resistance boon nullify effects of the non damage conditions like chill, weakness when active ?

Yeh. But stances are dead anyway. Quickness will also be turned into a boon as well. Not my problem anyway ^^

Always the: highest armor/health argument!! just kittening gives us 15k health like guardian so we can have some cool stuff too!

Guardian base is 11k. Revenant has 15k.

tbh i don’t know which is better.
resistance remove all effect but does not prevent application
berserker stance doesn’t remove any condition or effect, but prevent application

well it might turn great for us.

currently you activate it when expecting condi bombs or as an opener but after this change its better to activate it when loaded with conditions.

just needed to be not so easy to get ripped off.

Both have + and –
In case of resistance boon duration will affect it as well

Imo zerk stance will turn into a defensive skill when someone condi nuke you.

this too can be great, boon duration can take effect here.

where is the source for this information ?

Theres no source. Its quite obvious cause slow is a condition which means quickness will become a boon. Voodoo everywhere
