Question was about absorbing that deadly blast from Sorrows That blast is the only bit of problem, because NOT breaking Ai at all doesnt lead to wipe afaikI didn't link the page so you could read up on cc. I linked it so you could read up what breaking the bar does since you asked.Linking a 30 minute video, which by the way is out of date since the changes shortly after, is hardly helpful. Also it's not the boss breakbar you need to break, it's the SORROW's breakbar which does the aoe kill attack, which in this video is countered with https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Infuse_Light, the Heralds heal. Not all classes have access to such a heal.EDIT: and even IF a class had access to such heal skills. Chances are high they won't be up multiple times are they are when 1 player does solo damage against the boss for experienced groups. For inexperienced groups timing these skills properly would be the biggest issue. That is when looking past the entire aspect of now removing all other classes which do not have access to such heals from the fight.No one is arguing you can't turtle through the fight, because you can. As a matter of fact, that's how some players got their DwD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I in any way attack you for that?@Sinful Mustache.3589 said:The video is probably outdated. That is why i asked a question.

This is not about finding custom builds with which to turtle through each individual content. That has been possible since forever. Instead of taking individual invuls you might just as well take a tempest with Rebound. That's not the issue people have with the fractal though. This is not about "how can we get it done" for players. It's about how can it be done without to much hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expirienced stuff..Not breaking bars doesnt mean you cant get the DwD, right?For example, we are not elite speedrunners, but we are still able to "turtle" through that CM =)Not a heartbreaker, but I will miss the cons anyway. Bad, bad idea to remove them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagerus.8675 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I'm all for having options but I think the move makes sense. GW2's combat mechanics are hardly ever accented by playing with items from the inventory in the middle of a fight. It was kind of an inconsistency in the old 100cm but no one was requiring you to ping cc cons on join or raging at you for not having them back then. Group damage might go down a bit, the fight might take 2 mins longer but we still have the means to complete it effectively so personally I think it's fine.

Most DPS numbers on the golems are measured with a good bit of DPS remaining from the burst phase and doesn't take the mechanics to play into account . cFBs can keep up it DPS nearly perfectly + it the only condi build which can burst.Top DPS in my last 100 cm run was a cFB with 29.6K dps after lowering the dps several times otherwise otherwise we would wipe in the sorrow phase. 32k and more are possible and this with out having an HFB with offensive traits&skills with it you get really close to 40K(!) dps Now cc became a huge problem because the faster you are the more sorrows you need to cc.In comparison basically all other condi dps builds do 21k in 100 cm(as top player) and in average 17k which is nearly half the dps of the cFB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen other builds perform to the same degree, or even outperform firebrand with ease. ?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't even have stat infusions... Only 3/4 in fractal god title. So 30k+ with condi war should be easy to reach (My rotation isn't perfect at all with condi war).Cfb may be easier to play but isnt so OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lacks CC compared to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lystodyne.4719 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I randomly found this page while googling and it's so funny watching people complaining about the change lol I'm no hardcore players but I do all CMs+T4 daily...And I found the removal of cc consumables a good change. There're shitloads of utility skills in every character and it's stupid people only know how to use 3 of them. Every class, dps included, should know their cc skills and everything. And now there're more people doing CMs+T4 daily in pugs more than ever...... I find the removal of cc con a good change, forcing you to explore your class more. If you're only able to stick with 3 skills that give you most dps....Don't call yourself "hardcore" lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is that pugging without consumables feels miserable because pugs aren't aware of their builds lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean nobody called themselves hardcore because they were using CC sonsumables. Actually CC consumables could be much more useful for newbies, but they don't even bother looking their CC skills let alone get through the hustle of getting CC consumables. Veterans used them just to clear fractals faster and easier, that's all. I don't feel that they were somehow blocking ppl from pugging, I have never seen anyone ask for those.
