IT is true that DE is quite strong especially retarded p\p build (i made it up and ppl copied it i appologize for releasing the plague) BUT imo it is balanced well enough. My point is. Almost every class has some condi cleanse = makes work as condi DD harder (so far Trapper works fine for me in this case), Secondly most of the classes buffess their butts with tons of boons like i havent seen anyone lately who would have full might fury stability swiftness (not to mention Mesmers BLEH) Thirdly cripple spam every necro has, stun spam every warior has, bilions of clones every mesmer has, damn smokescale every ranger has, revenants blinds, engineers stun build, guardians that drop more burn stacks tahn elementalists. I mean dont you tell me other classes are not pain in the behind as well. DE can kill you quick yes but with all the defensive possibilities you other classes have you shold be able to withstand a poke from DE.
