I think developer team changed so much after game release, they have no logic for a while(for pvp ballance). They made condi damage stronger for pve. First they made burning stackable before HoT, then elite specs made the pvp seriously unbalanced. Its still playable but not fun as old times.
Here is my balance suggests
1-logic; single target damage > aoe damage
Single target skills must be more effective(current state is not), necro’s spamming aoe middle of the node and hits so many people without targeted, and other classes has so many aoe, while 4vs4 this is become aoe a spam fest without player skill. Buff the single target skills, players shouldn’t be died for a aoe spam. Its must be landed by acual player skills combo’s an such. And the aoe traps are annoying, im not saying that traps are op, but.. I don’t like it
2-logic; power dmg > passive damage(condi’s)
Game has massive balance issues when they made burning stackable, warriors and thiefs are not viable becouse of that. Problem is not that condi’s are op. Its spam easily. You can evade, you can block, but eventually hits you hard in team fights. mesmer spam f1 to f4 then reset and again spam f1 to f4, block and distortion stupid amount of time then spam condi’s again. necro’s has aoe condi pressure(which is wrong), hits everything near, so many type of conditions, uneven chill damage, insane survivability, -rev’s has low cooldown condi aoe Spam and spam, eventually people dies, this shouldnt be like that, it must be player vs player, i mean player skill must be more imortant than the passive dmg.
3-logic; harder landed skills > easily landed skills
we need warriors in this game and thiefs, we need to see player skills, not crap of passive dmg/deffense aoe kittening.
thats why i think condi’s needs to nerf a bit. ^^ sorry for my bad english.
I approve. Condition should be a aide of power dmg. All porblems are come from RAID. RAID make Healing , Many AOE , Condition stack in sec, Many block…. make old builds and dodge become a joke in HoT, make Heal Tank build in PVP, make the build FIX , make the game no Accuracy , make the match BORING ,make ppls live PVP.
I 100% sure this kittening balance all beacuse of Riad. Healing , AEO cc skill , spamm condition in sec, Crazy block count, Unlimited protection boon , Condition stack! all is kitten thing!
Did you try condi warrior? with torch and hammer? You can do insane condi damage with it…
Ty to adapt, the real life it self isn’t balanced, so why should a game be? Nothing can be balanced while people run something, peoples mind is not designed for balance, only their ego says that, so they can relax, lie to them selves, and everything is OK.

Your video is interesting, but try that against my Reaper, or my warrior, you die in seconds, not to mention you die in team fights instant = 1vs1 fights any trash player can play it, I’m legendary, and I win because I make difference in team fights, not 1vs1 2vs2 trash fights, if I’m 1vs1 I kill it in 5-10 sec, or I leave, and go in team fights… that’s why I’m in legendary division. And sometimes I 1vs2 so my team can win valuable points.
Do You See the Meta Build? I don’t Think Any Reaper in That Build can Die in a seconds. May Be they do 111111 on you
Look at the meta, ele, rev, necro, scrapper, druid they all have protection boons. Top tier classes, look who literally has zero access to protection. Thief + warrior, you see the problem now? Did I just blow your mind?
In the HOT patch. We lost many thing in this game ….WvW , PvP balance, dungone …. , Now I don’t know login GW2 for what .. I may be AFK in a short time..
The unbalance of PvP and WvW all is about the PvE raid, don’t try to balance this 3way in a game. When you make a 10ppls raid, the nightmare of balance is following.
Increase and focus on Damage over Time(Condition) is a big mistake in every pvp game. That will make the game boring to play then boring to watch. You also need to make more and more def and heal skill on it. At last, make the game hard to balance. It work like a c~a~n.c~e~r. This is a normal common sense. How your team can make this happen!?
Let me guess, the issue had to do with the Skritt pathing messed with the invisibility?
Anyways, what about stomp bug? Signet of Vampirism able to hit people 2,500 range and through walls? Can we change Revs’ Banish Enchantment into a reflectable projectile and remove the Chill from Unyielding Anguish? Can we nerf bunker chronos like moving F5 to F4? Can we get an increased recharge for druid stuns and tempests heals? Increase recharges for Scrapper and Reapers as well?
Bah, asking to much. Let me just chill 5 minutes at mid point with nothing to do.
Bunker Conquest~~ stay a point ~~ wait to win~~lol ~~ Anet, what are you doing!?
condition~~~ condition~~~ condition~~~
Confusion and Torment in same time , stack per sec, AOE , no cool down
how do i do?
running? cleaning? use skill? no, just stay here and leave the keyboard than die~~~
GOOD JOB Anet~~~~~
It would just remove counterplay and screw over anyone hoping to deal meaningful damage with specific conditions. If the condition user can manage to apply enough cover conditions to stop you cleansing their burst, why should they be punished with next to no dps because you clicked a cleanse skill too late? That’s the whole point of cover conditions, to punish people who don’t cleanse in time. And if people could choose which conditions were prioritized, it’d obviously be burns at the top with Immob and maybe Torment/Confusion up there. Condition and boon removal functions in a specific way that rewards active playstyle and fast actions.
That type of change would just reward sloppy play and punish people who try to use cover conditions/protect their damage by not only removing their main source of damage, but also putting the source on cd for next to no impact.
What counter play? Like all top players, they’re aren’t going to cleanse 1 or 2 stack of burning. There’s a threshold before an intelligent cleanse but sometimes the amount of conditions that can cover before the cleanse happens too quick.
But at the end of the day, direct burst and condi burst are two different animals. A power burst put almost all there points in power/prec/fer and and condi build use condi, tough, vit/prec. You really can’t compare the two because there are so many factors.
But when condi can burst damage is almost as close to pure power build while retaining defensive mechanism, there’s a problem. How to fix it? I don’t know since it has been going on for years and the dev don’t know how to deal with it. I don’t believe for a sec they know how to deal with it. Maybe when the game shuts down. I’m just waiting for a better game that I like that has pvp then I’m going to leave this POS game.
Remove the Weakness OR make Weakness effect the condition damage , When i have Weakness and Protection in same time , direct damage just like a joke.
