Guild Wars 2

“Venom Enhancement” does not apply poison every time you apply torment.

edited for words and such…proper name of skill
edit #2, didnt see the 20 sec cd in the top corner of skill….. not a bug

hypehype.9047:

when you say "crushes in “WvWvW” are you talking about one on one matches? cause without hammer you lack range + no shiro means you can be cc to death.

but every build has a weakness mine too. thats what makes ths game fun

Yeah, no shiro means I can be cc’d to death, but so can every class when they are focused. But yeah in WvWvW I am consistently winning 1v2 fights, and during “zerg” situations I usually have my Comm Tagg on and am busy guiding people and setting up our next objective, so it’s not really effective for me to try to add “skirmish dps” with hammer before we make a push, I find it better to run shield for survive-ability and resurrecting people.

Makes sense, thanks for the input Azure.

lol if you think that’s the huge mace bug, what do you call the fact that “Venom Enhancement” does NOT stack poison when you add torment like the skill says… its a HUGE part of condi build but does not work.

skill swap with alt weapon.

nuff said, this is my build, it crushes in PvP, WvWvW, and all the PvE content I have tried (Raid excluded until this Saturday)

@ Azure,
So basically my mindset is a bit off in thinking we (the group) want survive-ability and DPS in the same build but rather Glass Cannons and Tanks separate?

@ Demented.

I did not see the ESL/Meta battle update, just going off what we kept hearing in “all” chat and our experiences when we tried to pug some raids.

we tested in the siverwastes because its a lvl 80 zone, with a low population at the moment where we would not be interrupted why trying to kill the same set of mobs over and over.

Yeh, yeh, I know, I’m the guy complaining about a class having 100% uptime on most boons while heaving t2 health, heavy armor and around 20k dps(i’m getting to 19k in my full rotation, not backpack yet).

Where oh where did you find a DPS meter to get these numbers?

My burning/Poison Tank Rev…. Why do people hate condition rev so much? I do really well in WvWvW // PvP // and all the PvE content I have encountered so far, my group is getting ready to start raiding this weekend, but a few have concerns about condi-rev…

Above is the link to my condi-Rev. I keep seeing over and over that condi-rev sucks, and people are even insta kicking them from raid groups. But I don’t understand why that is. A few guild friends helped me do a VERY rough DPS/survivability check on my rev vs a power rev vs a Condi warrior. We were in silverwaste and battled Vet mob and his 3 friends summoned by the hero point in the middle of the map. The Warrior (fastest of the 3 tested… and yes we did multiple runs) was able to clear the group in ~21 secs with ~65% of HP(lowest of the 3 tested) remaining. The Power Rev would clear ~24 secs with ~70% HP remaining, my Condi-Rev would clear in ~26 secs (slowest of the 3 tested) with ~95% HP (highest of the 3 tested) remaining. So yes, our overall damage is a bit lower, but the survive-ability significantly higher.

So now for those of you who have made it this far, and checked out my build, you will know that I use a shield in off hand. That is because 99% of my DPS comes from mace 1,2,3. Shield helps give group protection and self block. So my question is, the slightly lower damage that we observed really worth all the talk that about how bad Condi-Rev’s are??? I bring 20+ stacks of might, I give group protection, regeneration, might, fury, swiftness… 25K HP, and tons of armor…
