To the op: I play a condi engi myself and sure, i can notice an ele using the trait but c’mon its 10%. I use full rabid gear and all it takes is managing to hit a few skills and putting some pressure on and suddenly the ele is no longer immune to conditions so I have no idea what you are talking about and I dont like it when you sound as if you speak for all condi engineers. Im quite sure most of us dont feel the way you do. About your thief build I can’t say as i don’t play one.
Even with full rabid condi build I can manage to get the 10% off although it might take a little longer which is only a good thing. In roaming most elementalists i’ve met have been pushovers and i’ve only run into a couple really good ones. We all know they needed something nice. Don’t be upset just because a class isn’t a free kill like it was before.
ps. someone here mentioned how it affects PU condi mesmers. While I agree that it does (only a good thing imo)when I roam with my mesmer I often prefer PU condi using sword/pistol in addition to scepter torch and although I also use hybrid gear, I have used it with full rabid and the dmg you can do with blurred frenzy or the iDuelist is easily capable of knocking off 10% even with pure condi dmg armor. Yes it makes it harder for condi builds but so what. I find it waaaaay less op than necro’s insta, non dodgeable cast that transfers every condition from him to me, basically killing me with the press of 1 button. Diamond skin counters condis that are very popular atm anyway it might not be a bad thing if the new meta wasn’t mostly condi builds. Hybrid builds could actually make pvp a lot more interesting.
Just my 2cents
