Well boohoo, eles are no longer guaranteed free kills for condi theives/necros/and engies. Sorry if i don’t feel sympathy for any of them. Time to adapt and change your build and playstlye the same way eles have been forced to do over and over again JUST to remain mediocre after non stop nerfs in every single patch while other classes recieve ridiculous buffs. Guess you’ll have to spend longer than 2 seconds now to try kill an ele with mindless condition spam.

I like how at first people thought I was a necro then started attacking the class. Now that I play a thief and Spvp engi people are attacking those classes now. Lets stop with the ridiculous class insults and start focusing on DS.

Yes people, I know there are D/D thieves that can kill you easily. I don’t play a D/D DPS thief, and if it eles need more balancing in that aspect then so be it, but lets focus on Diamond Skin against Condi classes, as this topic was originally about, not Ele vs DPS thief.

So what in the F—k is the difference between a d-skin ele not dying to your cheese condi spam and a thief pressing 5 for cloak and dagger to run away..??!?!?!?!?!! both are not going to die if they dont want to. I don’t see the problem. Nerf D-skin, then nerf stealth and mobility. For once we get a half-way decent survivability tool and you jump down the throat of it as if stealth and 3 health pools WERENT op at all.

How are you comparing stealth to immunity to damage? Hmm lets give thieves immunity to condis while they are in stealth because that would be the same thing as the current state of diamond skin.

This trait needs to be looked at. It’s not just the trait but the build people are running with it. If you are playing any condi class beside say a warrior you simply cannot do enough damage to ‘break’ the diamond skin and eles know this. The trait should be reduced to 97% hp or just simply removed all together. The ele will just be immune, immune, immune. I dueled a diamond skin ele for 15 mins on my condi engi was only able to finally win by using smack when he was close enough and had his blink on CD.. otherwise he would just run away heal and come back into the fight. If people wonder why this game is dying its because of the people developing it. You guys need to fire the people that are working on your classes because seriously some of the things in this game are just straight kittened.

“Hey lets make a class completely immune to conditions that’s balanced.”

Some of you compared this to engi’s but it’s completely different. With engineer you can pile on conditions at 30-40% hp and its gg. The eles will simply just out heal any condition based class’s power dmg. If you do break their skin they just run away heal and come back into the fight.

You devs need to stop the PVE focus and focus on the actual classes in this game before you find yourselves without a job because your game died. With wildstar, eso and other mmos coming out I don’t think you can afford to introduce these types of builds into the game.
