Condition builds only need to dump points into 1 attribute and the rest can be dumped in toughness and vitality for ultimate wvw survival. You now have the best dps & also best tank easily attainable by everyone with 10g.
But it doesn’t stop there, you don’t even need ascended weapons, your dps scales from the condition dmg attribute and not weapon strength! Another totally awesome feature!
Condition builds are tested ingame and balanced against raid mobs with 50 million health
. Now, take those same condition builds into wvw and try those out on those pesky players with 13k health. Instapoofff! How awesome is that?
Alot of condition skills do more dmg than players have as total health in wvw. Take the warrior longbow for example. He just needs to press 1 button, and he can kill 80% of the players if they dont get cleaned.
There is no single noncritting direct dmg skill that can compare with the biggest condition damage skills in numbers. The difference in dmg output is ridiculous.
Condition dmg can often be applied from range and once applied you don’t need “line of sight” for all the damage to be applied. Condition dmg also bypasses all toughness & armor mitigation! When the conditions where updated, they could also crit, this has since been nerfed so it doesn’t crit anymore. Luckily so, because that means we don’t have to stack another attribute to do maximum damage to everything! So totally awesomeness!!
Power builds usually require a line of sight each time it procs a connecting hit.
Plus, will also need points into crit chance and (optionally) crit dmg to do good dps. Thereby the 3 main stackable attributes are taken up to do dmg, so you cannot be a maximum tank like the condition dps competitors can be.
The big question is: Why doesn’t condition dmg also give the player 10g each time they land a stack? Is that a bug?
Whats not to like about condition builds? You dont actually have to be an active combatant now, you can just stand semi afk doing max condition dps. Play it in the background while you play CoD for example. Use your imagination!
