Guild Wars 2

john, this issue is that there should be a benefit to contribution in some way. an afk’er can get the same points as someone who busted their kitten all game and I think that’s wrong

Which is what i was getting at obtena. I feel like durations should be adjusted down. and Crinn, I will 1v1 someone at get 30k in burning (i have ~18k hp, again im bulkier to survive longer) so that all from one source. Reason i live is due to healing skills having low CD

Gotcha, so maybe the 30K in burning I’m dealing with but the thing that kills me is power dmg?

Well I’m dying mostly to aoe condi applies or unblockable ones (dh/ele)

I firmly believe condition spamming builds are beyond overpowered. As a thief with decent condi clean (escapists absolution and evading A LOT) I still take 30-50k in burning alone or bleed/poison combo. This is ridiculous. And sure, a thief can condi spam – the classic D/D 3-spam – but this shows of no skill and therefor is just boring. Its slowly turning thieves into an unnecessary class other than capping. Mind you, just because you cap means nothing if you cant get a bunker dh or ele off the point (which you cant do if you’re running a better sustaining build to combat the gross amount of conditions both put on you while kiting). Please note: Im not saying revert the changes, I’m saying tweak them. Anet has a bad habit of overcorrecting imbalances. In ranked if the other team has 3 dragonhunters or 3 necros, Its almost a guaranteed loss.
