It is very rare for Condition damage to really finish anyone. Almost all WvW is about burst/Power damage and not Conditions.
I mean why do you need Conditions damage when sic em Soulbeast can potentially one shot players. If you are trying to out last a Roaming celestial build you can just run away and try burst them again later.
Honestly the match up is more important than what you bring. My roaming Celestial build does have alot of Condition damage but in a burst form since I use the Axe ambush and chain 2 of them together. Failing that I just run away.
Have you ever set foot in wvw at all? Or are you being sarcastic?...mate 99% of wvw is condi burst...even thieves play condi scepter and cele meta is here to stay....the warrior zerk gs busr skill for zerg gameplay it's just a drop in the ocean....WvW is like Condi wars 2

Bunker / Condi Druid with staff is still better in every way, and even that's so weak I'd like to see it played past g3.
In addition, it's very hard to do damage on this type of build and be melee with all the CC and AoE condi puke (scourge, DH, etc.) that occurs.
That is, with dagger you can't really take Shared Anguish--or you lose the CDs + condi dmg--so getting in close via pet swap is tenuous with no stability (and popping your elite to go in melee is bad). Untamed simply doesn't have a defensive utility you can use offensively to go in melee (i.e.: Dolyak Stance).
Condi untamed was ok in the 2v2 mini-season though; still hard countered by Reaper though.
See? What did I tell you?....

Ranger is literally "trash" in WvW due to the complete lack of viable condi specs, the only ones capable of dealing with cele trolls and perma stealth BS....yeah I know already...the usual carebears will come here with the usual "b--b--but...Sic'em"..yeah killing the worst noob who massively screw up once in a blue moon surely makes it worth...sarcasm off/.
Cele tanks and massive boon spam make power builds on ranger completely obsolete, you need hybrid dmg to get through the layers of toughness, dmg reduction while dealing with the aftermath of damage nerfs...oh...and let's not forget the worst class mechanic: pets.....utter garbage joke outside 1-2 honourable mentions
The end result is ....crap in my opinion, and please now..go on with your sad faces spam...that will surely change the fact that I literally farm rangers without even looking at the screen now...unless it's some boon-centered try-hard who can't even bother me, let alone kill meon his own.
The main problem is : Cele is meta and it's here to stay and cele ranger builds suck...no access to burning, torment, confusion is any capable manner...without these condis..your condi build suck...no enough dmg..no quickly enough.
- The sustain is average at best
- Low access to stability
- Pets suck big time...worst class mechanic in the game
- No Cleave/AoE ranged attack
- Projectile based...when everything these days is block/reflect.
- etc etc etc etc
End result: no worth it

This is all you had to say, because that is exactly it's core design. It isn't a warrior, it isn't a thief. You want to play those roles? PLAY THOSE ROLES on those classes.
Sounds like somebody who got farmed by eles since day 1 and still going strong

Things suddenly make infinitely more sense if you think something that people play because it's busted as heck and incredibly overpowered is "amazing design"
I have got news for you! Guardian and Necro cover like 60% of the playerbase because they're busted AF...it's not like either way Anet gives a kitten when it comes to those 2 professions!
It's ok for a necro to have an elite that gives all boons to himself and all condis to you...meanwhile ele got what?...tornado?

Dude, Ele is amazingly designed overall. It has awesome flow, solid weaponry for the most part. It was not designed to be static/slow like some others so I don't understand the whining.
The amazing design is guardian no ele..... It is reason why 2/4 of the population go rushing around on Willbender in wvw and no ele...so stop the kitten BS, if they don't know how to balance, it means they haven't got a clue what they were trying to accomplish. They did not want to follow the design of GW1 and they went all hippy-go-lucky "original" devs, they could have used a simple double element design: 2 x elements at any given time - offense or defense role, instead than this BS 4 x elements cover all roles crap..then come down with "ops we can't balance it sorry guys"

Read my recent posts.
Back in the days, people used to spend months practising in unranked arena, to get good enough...in the hopes of getting 25 won unranked matches in a row and unlock ranked pvp from rank 0....then keep practising some more for months, asking/begging high rank to give you a place in their team to prove yourself and start your long journey to the coveted tiger emote( Phoenix for the greats and dragon for thr best).
But in GW2 ....players lose 4 games and come to forum to cry...because they lost...
In light of this behaviour, Anet removed the real matchmaking which was forcing people to get good to climb ladder, they replaced that with asinine 50/50 system and force vet players to carry bad players, let them win and climb above their actual skill level.
They even introduced elite specs that play themselves.....but gw2 players would still dare to come here to whine on how they lost 4 games in a row.....and some individuals still wonder why pvp in gw2 is awful.....

So now we whine about some second or two damage immunity while other specs 1 vs 10. 😄
Mesmer is like one of the few professions after guardian, thief and necro..that gets defences even before equipping any weapon or uses any trait, gear combination. That's what makes them far easier to play that you lot would like to admit

I beg to differ. Mesmer, any mesmer has the highest learning curve. Just jump on one and see. Kudos to whoever gets good on it!
Seriously? We forget about the part where distortion is like a mistform..but mesmers can attack while it's up. There are dozen and dozen of mesmers in wvw for a reason. Did you take a look at player stats lately? Go and see them, then come back and keep claiming that mesmer "it's hard to learn".
I could have said that with core mesmer, even mirage power at some point, where they were not using infinite horizon..but since almost every mesmer started playing condi mirage with IH and staff for easy faceroll....it all went downhill since then.
Chronomancer...it's like easy mode mesmer and virtuoso it's easy mode X 2

the difference with power chrono compared to everything else there is that the power chrono who just csgo onetapped you probably skipped the birth of his own child so he could stay at home and practice mirror blade combos while his wife was alone in the hospital, and honestly when you're that dedicated to pwr mes then you absolutely deserve to be bursting most players into the next borderland over
just get good, be the ball, et cetera. most of the EoD spec and cele builds you've listed here are 100% broken and corny af (not a single person who plays druid in this game had siblings growing up and it shows) but the one singular eternal fact of guild wars 2 is that everybody who plays this stuff is almost universally terrible at the game and you can win on that factor alone
Lol...chrono shatter is like the easiest glass build in GW2...by a mile, anything hard in GW2 does not get used....so get down from your high horse non-sense.....distortion into stealth into block into teleport into mantra of distraction into distortion into stealth...oHHHHHH me me burst omegalol...into block into distortion...and things get hard....blink/stealth and gtfo....moa form for the laziest kitten or well variant for the macro lovers.

Calling it here and now, when it's not well-known yet( at least for the next few days).....it's a PvP bunker spec...and it's already -10 in CMC's book...it's a ranger bunker spec and that's like -100 on top. I give it 2 x balance patches top, to be gone by Christman, end of January at the latest.

Big condi mes buffs. Big ranger pet (untamed) buffs.......................... Sounds like fun /s
Everything got buffed but...vast majority of players will only see buffs when they are obvious and aimed at the cooky/cutter build they have been playing for months/years. Crying one month before the changes are even applied and people got time to experiment.....GW2 community should get a kitten grip already...stop kittening crying for a 1 kittening second!

Loads of positive changes for the pets:
- Overall reduction in the massive CD on F2 skill for all pet families, I have been saying for years that F2 skills on 35-45s CD could not be justified at all
- Devourers, they finally increased attack rate/speed and CD reduction, it only took 11 years but this pet will see play finally
- Healing soulbeast will be a thing, a very powerful option for gameplay...mace/mace will probably amplify that, Moa/Fern will pack a huge heal team burst
- Jaguar now applies stealth, on you it would seem...in case people missed that part, being busy with takedown nerf
Anet literally screaming at you to change pets, I wouldn't say that smokescale dead but yeah....there will be better options if you're not single minded on one-shot gameplay

There is literally nothing on this class outside the 1 trick pony with glass stats......as far as PvP?wvW goes, specifically duelling/roaming/group fight. Bleeding is not something you can build anything serious around...especially when most bleeding traits require the target being CCed beforehand, adding an unnecessary layer. Nowadays, when everything in WvW is a cele tank, a power ranger will have a really really hard time making a dent in their defenses, it's an uphill battle against almost everything.
Also...it's currently the lowest effort exercise to fight a ranger in wvw out of all classes. My personal experience is that 8 havok groups out of 10 will have 0 rangers, and for the remaining 2 groups...their rangers will be focused the hardest, the second they show up: the easiest class to lock down and CC to death or condi pressure to oblivion, with the pets being literally useless vast majority of times.
I spent thousands of hours and in-game gold on this class, love it to bits but...kittening hell....this class was that much much stronger as duellist in the past, the skill level requirements have been increased drastically while the opposite is true for the rest.
The class desperately needs better condi options to expand the gameplay options...the oneshot galore only works so many times and in fewer and fewer instance, with other classes having an easier and easier time to use ultra tanky specs with condi burst or perma boon burst or block/evade rotations...

I'd need you to elaborate on that.
Condi Roamer, Power Roamer, Zerg DPS, Zerg Healer, Zerg Strip? Why "now"? Why is it underpowered?
So many questions and only one sentence without a " . ".There is no effective range of roaming builds against celestial trollsand power builds are severely lacking dmg to fight again celestial builds which are sadly like 90%of "roaming" builds. Even on glass ranger, they will facetank dmg while ranger has little to no sustain when going glass. On top of that, ranger lack access to the most powerful condis and people will laugh at your bleed stacks

Elementalist is a stats check class...you can't afford glass stats and expect the same results as some other classes, which have access to inbuilt defensive mechanics regardless of traits. On ele you need to trait for dmg(aire/fire) and sustain(water) or tankiness (earth), plus need to invest in utilities for defenses....this is the main reason why most pve eles run condi specs

The OP must be only one who will buy GW3...ho and all those redditers looking to post more screenshots of their gemshop skins.
GW3???? Yeah if they pay me 100$ p/hr I will MAYBE buy another product from anet

This thread clearly shows the line between decent players and the "forum warriors" uploading nerf threads daily. If it has not been made clear till now...all top players are such because they know how to multiclass.

Since my last Thread made me feel like i was 1v1ing a Condizerker, because of all that confu..... and i want to get better at that matchup.... ill do it again.
ELE CORE WEAPONS are not good. the be more precise: the powerdamagecoeffs are too low. They dont have the oomph, if you are playing anything thats not fuelled by Catas boonspam.
Even when running 11k fullglass, they dont compare to the damageoutput of other professions. The only thing that makes weaver dangerous, is Primordialstance´s condivomit.... but the actual powerdamage of the weapons is a wetnoodle across the board.
DaggerMH and Sceptre need some love. But please.... do it in a way that doesnt yet again benefit Catalyst. I wanna play a power elementalist, that is not hammerCata.
buff Woven skills or some stuff... idk.. or give back the 5% strike damage that you stole from Elements of rage 2 years ago....... why even put 5% condidamage on a Vita to precision conversion trait!?! like.. what? idk man.. something for powerElebuilds outside of Cata...
Thankuuu
and now.....
please deploy the confu riiiiiight.....here --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------⬇️
This time i wont spam skills and kill myself. 😈
Every time they buff/create power builds for ele...this community loses their kitten and will cry blood and tears on the forum for weeks/months till ele gets nerfed to a worst state than before those buffs and...cata boonspam? Your definition of boon spam is very outdated, because a 1/2s of resolution/resistance every 15s on top of the common boons with any build, can be hardly considered boonspam...the only reason people even bother with catalyst anymore, it's the hammer....I don't see d/d catalysts anywhere and if this boonspam would be anywhere true, we'd see loads of them

Why did I have a feeling a mesmer main would be saying the most asinine takes? They have proven through history to be the most unhinged, rage-filled individuals that claim everything and anything is broken when it slightly inconviences their tactics.

New pet?
in Ranger
Posted
If only.....if only....but can't imagine thieves/mesmers let that pet live for more than a week, before drowning the forum in tears
