Guild Wars 2

I was testing out my condition build on my warrior on some dummies and noticed they do considerably more damage than a necro. proceeded to try the same build in pvp and noticed that… its hard to land the damage. sure, when we land it it does a lot of damage but more often than not most of the damage misses. with all the blocks and evasions and distortions going around its hard to reliable hit with anything. I can stack 12 burning with flaming flurry easy on a dummy. in pvp I usually only get off maybe 3 stacks of burning with it. I can do my best to get it off. headbutt into a pindown into a flaming flurry. most people I play get out of the immob easy and don’t take much damage. and if they are just a short distance away most of my flaming flurry shots miss altogether.

Signet of Might. Almost mandatory with the current amount of damage prevention.

Flaming Flurry must always be used in melee range or you’ll end up hitting like a noodle due to the low accuracy of the projectiles.

Longbow is definitely strong and a lot of people use it with a lot of success, but I feel like mace/shield provides more lockdown and utility, especially together with Signet of Might. Also make sure to always detonate the fire aura with King of Fires, it’s one of your best ways of applying burns.

I actually have very little trouble stacking candies, but my biggest problem is synergy with my team. For example I’m not the guy that locks down the enemy for the big burst damage before they can react, although. I can perform lockdown…..but I’m also not the guy who keeps up the books and heals….Also I’m not really the guy who does the big group damage after the enemy is locked down… I’m not a BUNKER, I’m not a scrapper, I’m just sort of…there.

I’m up in my enemies grill causing all sorts of chaos and doing a great job at singling out one opponent, but I’m not a profession that is easily synced with others. For example. A team comp of meta chrono, reaper, scrapper, elemental, and a +1 will almost always rather have a decent thief as opposed to a Condi wRrior. That’s why I have been trying to remain a hybrid warrior. No matter the situation I can at least have something to offer. Need some quick knock back to save you from a stomp, I got you, need some aoe conditions? I’m on it. Need some hard hitting melee to take out that relevant? Sure. But never expect me to be the class the party is built around.

nice typo .))
