Auburner.6945 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Lots of torment application with tons of other conditions to prevent cleansing, all while tanking like a pre-patch Defense SpB... add a (hybrid) Firebrand to the mixture, stir it well... oh wow!

Bezerker.2379 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 protip: its not tormenting thats causing the issue. The heal is absymal per application.It's that combined with core rev, jalis hammers, and retribution steadfast recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Ahh so this must be the build I came across today in WvW.Very strong indeed but a lot of fun to fight against, although granted in a 1v1 scenario it would obliterate me haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lare.5129 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 As for mew the condi rev is works as should. Don't see anything broken. Someone should win and dominate.If someone lose 1:100 - this is also ok. Not ready change class or find zerg on wvw is not other players problem.Also main idea of www no matter who win 1 vs 1, main thing - is zerg, tactic, and skilled comm.

Torment is poorly designed because it doesn't actually punish anything, everyone is always moving in WvW, 99% of the time unless stunned or immobilized.It should punish movement skills, not movement. Basedmg should be a bit below current levels while moving like 0.07-0.08 instead of 0.09 and it should do a burst of dmg when the enemy uses a movement skill, similar to confusion but targeted on a subtype of skills, then it would actually punish high mobility builds, Right now it's just bleeding with more dmg. But a bit less dmg if event is CCed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates/2013-06-25#Profession_Skills is the update that added in torment shame i cant find the post about talking about why they put it in but it was just for necro and mostly is DS. Mesmer got torment at a later date it looks like. I would like better to work out what they said word for word about why they are adding in torment as a link i can post here but from what i remember it was about keeping ppl from moving so it was on classes that could not move well DS core necor was the main class.In its current state for the classes that its on and the effects they have torment is a broken condi that should be less useful then bleed for dmg only. Rev condi apply a lot of torment and it is an unbalanced classes because of it (i am also suggesting mesmer condi as well at one point but that did get nerf).

Rev condi apply a lot of torment and it is an unbalanced classes because of it (i am also suggesting mesmer condi as well at one point but that did get nerf).That's fair enough, thanks for looking into it. I remember thief and mesmer having access to it before rev was introduced (sharing venoms with thieves guild used to be a hilarious way to kill people), but honestly it's quite a long time ago now so I'm sorry my memory was fuzzy.Honestly current condi rev feels dangerous less because of the torment and more because of the burn imo. As others have pointed out, torment isn't as high a damage condition as you might think, the thing is that rev can use rapid torment application to cover burns in the same way thief can use rapid bleed application to cover poisons. If burn damage is toned down, which seems likely given the number of burn guards doing pretty obscene things still, condi rev might actually find itself balanced without any other changes.

Bezerker.2379 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Torment was their answer to making necros feel unique since mesmer had confusion as its thing, and necro had bleed but so did everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpsssss.7530 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Condi rev gets hard countered by scourge. because boon corrupts... It has very few condi clears and if you point at centaur then you lose your right to complain. there ain't nobody running centaur on a condi rev.

Sure, you could run away, but that means losing everything it decides to take.I'm not trying to comment on the larger balance issues or non-issues--just looking for potential alternate solutions.( Literally browsing this forum the last hour because I'm painfully bored... )You have a point, but from experience as a roamer, 99% of the time if a fight in a Camp/Objective lasts longer than 60 seconds, others will join. There are times this isn't true, like off hours or distant supply camps ( South on APBL, Speldan which has been bugged since forever and doesn't get contested, etc. ), but in general it's a race against the clock if you want the Objective and not a fight.Still, this brings me back to my point about other classes having better options. Not all too long ago I spent 10 minutes trying to kill a support Firebrand that was trying to stop me from capturing Rogue's Quarry in EBG. Granted I was playing a Condition build without many cover Conditions so I could have been playing something better, the point is that most classes can do this anyway with most having better damage to boot. Since the patch I've yet to meet one of these Signet Necro's I couldn't kill or that was such an issue in a situation like capturing a Supply Camp that I was forced to leave. My experience doesn't dictate the effectiveness or presence of the build, but just saying I still don't think it's an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornwolf.9721 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Nerf rune of tormenting and the power of condi-rev will drop off, ALOT of their sustain comes from that rune which is why its not in PvP as an option.You could nerf trailblazers but I don't see the point honestly, the set is strong but its only really strong in conjunction with runes like the rune of tormenting who heals based on the damage torment is doing.

But leave rev for now cus it's not as annoying to u as thief personally even though its stronger than thief in roaming and zerg play. Example of a biased post with zero regard for actual health of the game. Imagine how bad a condi rev would have to be to lose to a thief while roaming lol.

Interesting quite enough, even 'tank' Necromancer now aren't even using minions so yeah!! we are use to it, with our pets being useless to us so, this is our way of survival.
