Gonna agree here. So many positive changes that could be made. But unfortunately we do not fall into the category of Anets pet class. The warrior. Great post it I would nt hold my breath.
Conditions are fine. Burst damage (115%) crit damage is out of control. Give me a trait that lowers crit damage received by 30% and you can change condi damage.
Wait am I reading this right? People are complaining about condition damage??? We should be complaining about crit damage approaching 115%. Crit and crit damage are the real problem here. Not lol condition damage.
The issue: Attacking from stealth does not reveal you unless you do actual damage to the target, no penalty for auto attacking a blocking/evading/invulnerable/blinding enemy.
Every stealth skill stealths you for at least 3 seconds (4 if traited) this is more than enough time to burn through most blocks/evades/invuls etc which usually have significantly longer cooldowns than stealth skills. In most situations this results in guaranteed damage to the target. The most common situation is where a ~permanent stealth thief keeps backstabbing you for potential 6-8k dmg until it goes through.
Suggested balance change: Make any blocked/evaded/blinded/invul etc attack reduce the remaining stealth duration by 0.5-1 second.
I think this change would force players to keep an eye on your target and promote skillful play opposed to mindlessly spamming attacks while in stealth.
I currently have 60% condition duration and 55% bleed duration. How do these work together? Are they additive to 115% duration for my bleeds or is it multiplicative to 93%I know it’s marginal but I’d like to know how the math works.
