I though I was missing something about condi

[ArthurDent.9538]

But I was wrong, how does one go about slashing the power damage of almost every skill in the game by about 30% and then only tone down a handful of individual condi damage skills? I figured there had to be something along the lines of all stacks of burning, bleeding, torment, poison, and confusion do roughly 30% less damage to keep it inline but nah. Signet of fire on fire weaver did about 9k damage unbuffed pre patch, post patch still doing about 9k burning. Its not like there weren't extremely strong condi builds before this patch that they needed this insane relative boost for. So give up trying to play power condi spam is pretty much guaranteed to be way more effective.

Because condi durations were significantly reduced this patch.

No they weren't, the removal of expertise amulets doesn't matter as Carrion and Sage were either equally viable or straight up better than the expertise amulets.

[Lost Elegy.9276]

Yeah, no. I can mirror this experience. I played one game as a hammer warrior (For the lulz) and encountered a burn guardian. I died in under 2 seconds from two 8k burn ticks. Unless they hotfix condition damage, power builds will cease to exist. Condi spam is back, boys.

Duration was never an issue. Them doing my healthbar in under two seconds with burning was the issue.

Nothing says fun like a burn guard setting themselves on fire, standing next to you and giving you 9 burn stacks. Good game. 10/10.

?! Are you referring to expertise amulets? No one gives a shit about that. Most condi builds use sage, wizard or carrion anyway.

Well.. we should be in heavy condi meta now. I am expecting FB to dominate the scene pretty signifcantly, compared to before.

I dont know what bad build you're playing but warrior beats burn guard in any matchup. You're just bad?

Hammer war loses to every thing post patch probably, which is what they were playing, which is besides the point anyways.

Burn as core or burn as FB? Sage FB had a significant edge over warrior. This does seem to have changed (probably much easier for FB).

Missing something? Make a condi build.... play with your elbows and win every fights...... that's pretty much gw2's approach where anet wants to bring the game to. Just like in 2013 ish when condi bombs were the end all be all....

[ProverbsofHell.2307]

Let’s not forget that not ALL condi builds are over performing. Don’t want focus to be lost here.

[Stand The Wall.6987]

just make sigil of cleansing clear 3 condis instead of 1 like it is in wvw.

Condition damage is a problem I saw this happening lul

[Eddbopkins.2630]

I was giving anet the benefit of the dout but for real. There testers have to be real incompetent pvpers to miss this Condi damage misshap. I'm so sry to say that but it's my truth from the heart.
