I haven't been playing WvW for very long, but it's my understanding that it's not about conditions or power geting buffed or nerfed, but that AoE condition cleanse has become so common that bringing condi to WvW Zerg fights is handicapping your ability to do damage.

Absolutely, I've noticed that.

great, thanks a lot for the insight I got to try the mirage, holosmith engineer and the new thief meta, a lot of fun is waiting for me :).

I got pistol and sword, I also got celestial ascended accessories, pistol and scepter.

 

I just read about the Mesmer, Now phantasms automatically turn to clones, that sux, I guess I'll just plat the meta berserker deadeye thief with rifle.

I've decided to hop back in GW2 bus after a long time (may be 5 years or even more) I have all characters @lvl80 all geared with at least exotic sets of all kinds and stats some have legendary gears.

 

I was surprised that my gear was actually still viable, still the same, which got me more exited as I'm not really falling behind to that extent. I am mainly interested in WvW roaming and sometimes arenas, back in the days condition builds were the gods of roaming 1v1 or 1vX but after trying them, I just found that the new meta is power builds, were condition builds nerfed? I prefer to play mesmer phantasm build, why do my pistol phantasms turn to clones is it a bug? I just need your advice to help me stick to 1 or 2 classes and gear them like they should be, as I'm now really confused.

[What I Personally Think GW3 should look like]

It shouldn't be sandbox, it should just be the same game with graphics enhancement. Why change things when it works.
