There are already several ways to counter conditions. You can adjust the numbers on those to balance. Condicleanse, condi transfer, resistance, barrier, raw healing... why would you need a 6th way, this is already too complicated as it is.You forgot Auras but everyone forgot that those even exist or even what they do.Idk currently weakness doesn't do anything against pure condition builds its just there. it reduces endurance regeneration and reduces power damage.suprise, condi builds run usually carrior with 900 power.My condi mes deals I guess about ~20-25% of its damage as power damage and relies on its dodge.Weakness is MUCH weaker against condi builds but its not useless.EDITIn similar note, condi cleanse is not useless against power builds.Removing fear,immob,cripple,chill,weakness,blind and vulnerability is important too and when you have build like holo that can run 20-25might they can still apply 2k+ condi damage simply due to hight might.Well you have convinced me Weakness is an overloaded condition, it doesn't need more effects, it probably even needs nerfs.

My only beef with weakness its the RNG aspect of glancing hits.And since I play mesmer having chaos aura on me OR the enemy.... I have RNG to proc weakness that has RNG to lower your power damage....

I have RNG to proc weakness that has RNG to lower your power damage....It is also RNG but not that RNG since on average is every second attack to reduce it damage by 75%, i'm no sure if there is anything else that can get to these numbers.

I would take reliability any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
