This burn came from a dragonhunter in the first picture.

Seems like you got hit with alot of conditions and didn't cleanse them, inno 60 hits is alot of hits.You should prolly cleanse those condition, they might actually kill you after some time.Wanna show us your utility bar for that game?

Is it 2015 again?

Since condition types are standardized across classes and skills, and are lumped together, conditions will pretty much always be at the top of the death's breakdown. If conditions on the death breakdown where split based on the skill that applied them, then you would not see so many condis on your death breakdown.

Besides the Death Breakdown is rarely accurate. For example yesterday I was playing my ele and was fighting a far node 1v1 against a warrior, and was easily able to sustain through all of the warrior stuff. Then a thief came in and instantly vaporized me. Did any of the thief's skills show on my death breakdown? Nope.

I'm joking around dude

I'm suggesting you reroll to firebrand because it's the only thing that lives vs condi spam in current meta.

///

as an aside, those post death logs are actually a terrible way to evaluate what's OP.

regardless, both of the classes that run condi in the current meta, scourge and mirage are both OP.

but on the other hand, burn guard wasn't that good pre patch- and was nerfed heavily in the patch. so if burn guard is giving you issues, and you're not playing rev you have issues my dude.

Hey, OP can you show us your utility bar for those games?

Well he is definitely a thief, and judging from where he died he is probably using a melee weaponset. Most likely a typical d/p setup, possibly s/d.

In the second picture he downed the necro he was fighting, but then was downed himself by the necro's downstate and then lost the downstate fight.In the first pic he died to a x/sh + x/Torch burn DH. I'm not sure how a thief managed to get hit by Zealot's Fire in the first pic. Zealot's Fire struggles to hit any kind of moving target, let alone a target as mobile a s a thief.

Mah build > http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vZAQNAsYVn8lClOhFOBGNB8PhFYCb+DWCThaJgAQBwLNcGGRA-jpxBQBi7QAAgHAQF3fAolB84JAADHBAA

I don't have trouble with burn guardian, just saying that nothing has changed, especially about scourge.

wow. a condi thief complaining about condi

Actually i'm main holo in my main account, this is my alt.

Anyway, i'm pretty sure theres many people feeling forced to play cond because its broken. I play zerker mostly, cond thief is just for fun.

Ooo, Quaggan can't wait when some guy jumps in and throw "I play zerker mostly, Mirage of Scrooge McDuck is only for fun".

As i said, i don't play cond in my main account.

Now i'm playing warrior >

Got 32 stacks of confusion in a second >

Maybe Judge's Intervention while throwing Zealot's Fire. Paired with Focus n°5 (Shield of Wrath) is a good burst combo.

Unthinkable, Mirage and Scourge are the ONLY condi builds anyone plays, condi is so suppressed and power is to op.

Not sure why you are dying with Shadowstep, Signet, IS and EA for cleanse. I have seen a surprising number of thieves with signet on their bar simply fail to use it.

Also not sure why you are trying to 1v1 a DH as a Daredevil. Probably a waste of time given that two of your team were dead/about to die.

LOL.... you realize that what you posted is basically all the damage of that type (burning, bleed, etc.) lumped up together, right? So from all sources.

Ok so.. before dying, in your first screenshot, OP, you took 60 hits of burning. SIXTY HITS!!!!!!!!!!!
calms down okay. So the average damage per hit is, yes-you-guessed-it 780 damage per hit. Wow such damage.Now imagine you take 60 hits of power damage from a power spec. How much damage would that amount to? 70,000? 100,000? You're basically dead.

I'm not even gonna mention your second screenshot (ok maybe I will), where you also take 60 hits from burns and 66 hits from torment.... and the average burn damage is 600 per hit, and average torment damage is 250 per hit. Now once again, imagine being hit 126 times (60+66) with power damage skills. Would you be dead? Of course you would :)

They should now remove traits which enhance condi durability and expertise.The patch itself is good, but they didn't consider this part imho.

edit: nevermind, the patch did nothing. Still die in 5 sec with a 33% + 20% condi dmg reduction ( vs 1 single player ).

You guys know that number of hits counts like 10 hits in a second based in the number of stacks you got, right? (10 stacks = 10 hits per second, for example)

And all these conds came from a single person in all screens.

Was all that damage from one fight? Because I want to know how you tanked that much damage as a thief.

' The truth is like a lion. You don't have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself '

You are absolutely correct! Anet changed Nothing to make the game fun, healthy, competitive and rewarding.

(what has changed after the 'condition balance' patch? Absolutely Nothing!)
