Guild Wars 2

TL:DR OP got killed in sPvP by a mesmer.

Vague Memory.2817:

We definitively don’t have enough condi cleanse/condi resist now since the changes to conditions. Inspiration trait line is your best bet, but even with that I find there isn’t enough to deal with a necro who can convert boons to conditions and also transfer their conditions to you as well. It will be worse when HoT goes live with elite specs and the new condition additions.

This has always been the most inaccurate statement ever. It annoys me for some reason. It’s not that we don’t have enough condi clear at our disposal. It’s that in order to play a zerker build, you can’t afford to take condi clear without doing at least one of the following: 1) taking less offensive measures (inspiration over another trait line i.e. Domination) which is why you’re presumably wanted on a team in the first place 2) taking a utility spot that could otherwise go to Blink/Portal/Decoy, all highly competitive utilities for good reason.

I’m not sure how to solve the issue, but it definitely isn’t to “give us more condition removal tools” which is what you imply when you say we don’t have enough. Unless using Blink/Decoy removes two conditions, we’re always going to be a class that has difficulty handling conditions. I’d actually say we’re pretty balanced when it comes to condition removal, but that’s just my opinion.

I haven’t had the chance to attend beta event, but in its current state, I honestly feel like Inspiration trait line in combination with Restorative Illusions is more than ample condi clear for your typical pvp match.

Bwahaha everything is a ‘slap in the face!!!!111111’ these days. I don’t understand how people get bent out of shape and play the victim for even the smallest of things.

If it’s not a beta weekend start time, then it’s someone writing a huge essay on how the expansion should be free because (s)he bought the original 3 years back. People get a free outfit, and it’s a ‘slap in teh faec’ that it’s not an armour set. They announce raids, and it’s a slap in teh faaaace that this feature dares to exist since omg now it’s just like wow!!!1111. People feel insulted worked up way too easily these days. :P

Is there any phrase more overused on the Internet than “a slap in the face”? I can’t even take you seriously after that.

Ramming your cheek into someone’s palm does NOT constitute being slapped in the face. In fact the entire phrase is more like a tool for self-flagging that your attached complaint is supremely hyperbolic.

Beta-testers are working for ArenaNet (at Anet’s convenience, imagine that…) not the other way around.
