That ability seems severely imbalanced, when fixed that is. Of course, not talking about PvE but WvW.
It only takes 1 spell on a 25 second cooldown (20 second cool down if bought the 20% reduction), to negate all the conditions the enemy has managed to stack through a global array of skills using more than 25 seconds of cooldown, and then, transfer it back to the enemy.
Just the full purging seems a bit OP, but having it transfer back to the enemy is just unreal.
All people needs to do is run zergs in WvW with no condition casters, wait for the enemy to cast theirs and transfer it back to them.
I can guarantee this, if that ability is fixed, I’ll definitely spam it to show how imbalanced it is. It is extremely apparent to me, I don’t know how this one escaped the balancing skill team.
P.S.: In a zerg fight where condition damage is thrown left and right, the team that will win is the one that throws the most Putrid Mark. The only counter to this ability is another Putrid Mark.
*Here is an example of a counter to that ability, Guardian has “Save Yourselves!”, now although that ability pulls all the conditions of nearby allies to him and turns them into boons, keep in mind that ability is on a 60 seconds cooldown! And yes, I know what you’ll say, you can use more than 1 Guardian. But this is where the logic faulters, 1 player for 1 player, if you are using more than 1 player to counter another player ability, and in this case, Necromancer would be able to counter up to 5 players conditions than this ability is in no way balanced. Only way I can see this ability work correctly, is if the ability has only a 20% chance to transfer conditions to an enemy player. After all, that ability removes all conditions, and I imagine up to 5 players!
Hopefully I’ve given enough information to get it fixed.
