evades, blocks, and most invuns work against condi damage, and you have resistance

I don’t know how delusional you are but, evades and blocks do nothing against condition damage. You can’t evade conditions nor block them once they are applied to you the only way to get rid of them is through cleanse.

You could try avoiding the application. It’s no harder than avoiding a Power based attack.

For example, Grasping Dead is no harder to avoid than Maul, but I bet I know which one you dodge and which you ignore at the time.

no wonder these players think condi is OP. they aren’t smart enough to think of blocking or evading the attacks that apply the condis

You do know why condi builds are so prevalent? Because its a foolproof and mindless gameplay, something the carebears / casuals adore. It doesn’t matter if you attempt to ’ evade or block the attacks that apply the condis ’ because the relevant condi builds APPLY CONDITIONS ON AUTO ATTACK ontop of the ’ condi burst skills ‘. So even if you use your defensive abilities dealing with just the condi burst, then you’re kitten out of luck because in 3 seconds your gonna have another 10+ confusion stacks and 10+ torment stacks killing you regardless of if your moving / not attacking.

Ether Bolt: 2s Torment (it tickles). Ether Blast: 3s Torment (stop that!). Ether Clone: nothing.

Winds of Chaos: 33% chance 7s Bleed (yawn). 33% chance 1s Burning (wow so OP). 33% 5s Vulnerability (I am undone!).
.

Wow! Great response! You really proved your point by saying things like ’ it tickles ’, ’ yawn ’ and ’stop that! ’. Just another delusional nutjob trying to justify his abuse of over the top condition damage scaling.

I don’t know how delusional you are but, evades and blocks do nothing against condition damage. You can’t evade conditions nor block them once they are applied to you the only way to get rid of them is through cleanse. There are 7 sources of resistance in the game ( 1 of which is in a traitline nobody takes for Mesmer. Guardian, Necro and Engie all acquire it unreliably through converting a condition into said boon, which leaves 1 RELIABLE source of resistance IN THE GAME, which comes from warrior using healing signet ). Most condition builds have the same burst damage as a power build and are safer to play ( apply conditions then LoS / pop invuln / run away / etc ) . Don’t even get me started on the damage scaling of Confusion / Torment/ Burning.

Anet either needs to change the way conditions work, or bring more baseline cleanses into the game. There is no equivalent to Protection, Weakness, Block, or evade for conditions. My proposed change to conditions would be either: Remove 50% condition duration on ALL CONDITIONS on you when you evade BASELINE / make condition cleanses significantly easier to come by across the board / Make coniditions actually scale with time ( IE: When 12 stacks of burning are applied, it would do the same amount of damage over the duration, it would just start with low damage ticks and increase over time according to duration / stacks) making it actually damage over time and not BOOM 12 stacks of burning you’re ticking for 25% of your hp every second.

The current state of conditions / celestial in PvP is a joke.

Hello. I’ve played rank spvp since launch of the game, its recently come to my attention that I don’t show up on the leaderboards. Back when the game had soloque I was ranked in the top 100, now I dont show up at all. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact I was banned in the past for ’ offensive language ’?

edit: I do appear on the achievement leaderboard

Ah! After revisiting Rata Sum it seems to have fixed itself, Thanks much!

Hey all! After getting all my parts of my legendary I finally decided to finish map comp. However once I had completed the map I only recieved the ’ Been there done that ’ title, but no gift of exploration. Has anybody experienced this recently? Thanks!

Good fight last night vs ACiD, managed to take down all 12 of ya with only 4. #teambumy too stronk.
