If there is no downstate then no respawn is needed to make it fair. So if you wipe a zerg inside your T3, they'll stay there until another zerg comes and res them. Since it would be dangerous to commit all your forces at once, zergs naturally break up into smaller units. The zerging problem solved on top of class balance!

Excelsior! @Cal Cohen.2358/ @Cal Cohen.3527 make this happen!

lmao reminds me of the days of everquest, if you raided a god plane and wiped, you needed to run back naked to the corpse and not in ghost form like WoW. If not possible because of respawns, you had to call in other guilds to help with corpse recovery, either way you had to be ress'd by clerics to port back to the corpse and recover exp lost on the death.

 

Gamers have it so easy these days.

I don't care what you do or say after, just remove trailblazer and dire , the game full of this condi trash from small roaming, to large fight...all I see and face are these tanky condi cheese builds that never dodge and just facetank damage: 

 

https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Weaver_-_Starfire_Roamer

https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Necromancer_-_Core_Condi_Roamer

https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Herald_-_Condition_Mallyx_Roamer

https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Holosmith_-_Explosive_Roamer

https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Scourge_-_Power_Curses

 

The ones above are by far the worst offenders, but druid is surely worth a mention:

https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Druid_-_Longbow_Roamer and all variants...just delete kitten Ancient Seed

 

 

And if things were not bad enough before you went and buffed celestial, so the whole scene full with condi hybrids tanking the whole kitten planet.....this is truly not the same game I started with in 2012, I had big hopes after the success of GW1 ..but this now...this is just sad

 

 

It is what it is!

 

Also 4/6 builds you linked don't even use any trailblazer though?

Umm, so how is removing dire/trailblazer going to impact Power Curses that uses marauder gear lol?

 

Also Explosive Roamer aint got a drop of condi damage on it.

 

Seems like offenders are the specs and traits, not the gear?

Really I think the issue ties more into the inflexibility of sigils/runes and to a lesser degree food.

The runes and sigils you want against power damage are not the ones you want against condi damage. Swapping them is expensive, or high barrier of entry. Even food it makes more sense to do -20% duration instead of -10% damage but who's going to throw 1g down the drain for the opponent that might just run away 5s later anyway?

Condi only really comes off as strong against people who prepare for bursting down power damage classes. It stalls or wipes to people who come prepared, but it's seriously obnoxious to prepare for both circumstances.

also force 1st person pov, no one wants to zerg in the chaos plane of polygons. problem solved.

Then I would even suggest going all the way with VR and 1:1 head tracking your characters movements, for immersion. 

 

Thieves will just have to brace themselves before pressing daggerstorm.

A lot of people who run these builds are super bad and can be easily countered and quickly given a free respawn ticket.

If you find it non fun, just avoid fights with these nabs. I personally enjoy it to some extent, crushing the egos they built up by picking on people who run zero counter to them.

 

It's not really just an issue with stats though, it's also that skills apply too many stacks and do power damage, and too many skills output condi damage overall.

 

idk, Anet won't ever be able to fix it unless a non care be ar approach is taken.

Then I would even suggest going all the way with VR and 1:1 head tracking your characters movements, for immersion. 

 

Thieves will just have to brace themselves before pressing daggerstorm.

yo that sounds tight mayne. lets go 1:1 dodging and jumping too!

Guess what counter these nabs...and guess what these nabs constantly whine about....DE?...sic'em?.....LR/FA?...anything with any resemblance of ranged power dmg get whined about by the majority who play these kitten condi/boon tanks builds pressing 1-2 buttons doing massive aoe dmg while granting passive sustain thx to powercrept mechanics. The game full to the brink with these builds granting passive toughness, perma protection, traits that turn a full soldier build into a freaking glass cannon minus the glass part...all melee centered backpedalling mofo builds that get countered by the builds you're suggesting and guess what Anet likes to nerf the most?!

And you know why in this game, high risk=high reward gets constantly shafted in favour of no risk=all reward?...Profit, one hit wonder gameplay attracts whales and rejects from harder games...the perfect customer base for a super casual MMO it would appear

 

People think they have skills running these condi/boon tanks...I can easily tank 3 people if using any of those build...it's not hard to do so

You really need to stop with that edge, your whining really isn't different at all from the strawmen you've built to try to take down.

 

The more obnoxious classes using trailblazer have close to zero chasing abilities except perhaps Revenant. Some of them I can kite within a camp's capture point forever, the rest can pretty much be traded with using a Sigil of Cleansing and one cleansing ability/trait (normally baseline in any PvP build) due to either low overall condition damage or reapplication issues (which should have been the norm). I'm surprised they aren't food for the likes of you since you're clearly a superior breed.

This ^, thank you.

From frequent experience in dueling, roaming and zerging on core zerk Rifle Engi, all I need is Sigil of Cleansing and Elixir Gun to fight the majority of Condition builds. That's x3 on swap, x1 with Super Elixir, x1 with Blast Finisher, and Light Aura for Condition Damage reduction if needed, and that's it.
Yes, if the fight drags on too long I'm likely to die, but that's kind of the whole thing about Condition builds - they're attrition. And yet many of them can't even attrition, because Power damage is so high that fights can often end before you run out of cleanses.

Any time these threads come up I try to participate because I dislike people perpetuating this fantasy that Conditions are a problem. Condi builds have gotten steadily worse as more options to negate them have been added, and ways things can apply Condis have been nerfed.
That isn't to say there are no OP/highly forgiving Condi builds, just that they're far fewer than what people here often say.

As for Trailblazer specifically, it's not even BIS for every Condition build. There are lots that don't get much value from the Expertise, and with how many cleanses are about it's often better to go for higher direct Condition Damage anyway. It is a very forgiving stat, and yes it is an OP one, but so is Marauder with Durability and yet people don't complain about that nearly as much.

I don't care what you do or say after, just remove trailblazer and dire

while we're at it, also remove berserker and viper.

Ah, ah, already got derailed. What I actually wanted to point out: Nice try, rolling two things into one wish. But no, these are clearly two wishes already.

No, there is room and role for all of these sets and more in WvW. No sets should have been removed from sPvP either, it would be even worse of an idea to remove them from WvW. If anything we need more options and not less. I am sorry if a build countered yours but that will happen, and quite regularly does to all of us. Too many people don't spec with abilities or gear that cover issues in their own build. That's part of the challenge, finding those builds that can fit multiple roles. But even when you find those they will be vulnerable to builds on the extreme edges. So no count that as a say against removal. If you know your build is weak against another, bring a friend that covers that vulnerability. I solo roam quite a bit and find builds that will counter mine all the time. When I havoc I try and bring builds that will cover issues my group might have. If I zerg I try and do the same and bring builds that might cover issues the large group might have. There isn't meant to be one build to rule them all. Those we should review and right now I don't see anyone in particular that really a stand out. We will already have a large number of shoutouts once the new elites arrive be them valid or not, we don't need to start that early.

lmao reminds me of the days of everquest, if you raided a god plane and wiped, you needed to run back naked to the corpse and not in ghost form like WoW. If not possible because of respawns, you had to call in other guilds to help with corpse recovery, either way you had to be ress'd by clerics to port back to the corpse and recover exp lost on the death.

 

Gamers have it so easy these days.

Wait a sec that wow ghost run wasnt a cakewalk ya know. There were times i died in places i couldnt get back to my body, not to mention the long zone runs sheesh! But yeah EQ was like the 7th level of hell of gaming.

No, there is room and role for all of these sets and more in WvW. No sets should have been removed from sPvP either, it would be even worse of an idea to remove them from WvW. If anything we need more options and not less. I am sorry if a build countered yours but that will happen, and quite regularly does to all of us. Too many people don't spec with abilities or gear that cover issues in their own build. That's part of the challenge, finding those builds that can fit multiple roles. But even when you find those they will be vulnerable to builds on the extreme edges. So no count that as a say against removal. If you know your build is weak against another, bring a friend that covers that vulnerability. I solo roam quite a bit and find builds that will counter mine all the time. When I havoc I try and bring builds that will cover issues my group might have. If I zerg I try and do the same and bring builds that might cover issues the large group might have. There isn't meant to be one build to rule them all. Those we should review and right now I don't see anyone in particular that really a stand out. We will already have a large number of shoutouts once the new elites arrive be them valid or not, we don't need to start that early. 

Disagree. More stat sets = bigger class balance problems. The game will never be properly balanced, because doesn't matter how much devs will tweak numbers or even rework skills if there are combination of sets that will still allow a cheese in it.
Dire, Trailblazer, Minstrel are broken and make fighting against them pain in kitten, not because players are good, but because they're carried by builds at this point.
More choices not always mean better, it may be a curse.
If there would be a day that A-net allowed a player to choice a specific stat combination with set amount of value like: x Power + y Precision + z Concentration, then you would understand how kitten bad it is to have so many options for the game balance.

You mean like 

 

Any build looking to 1 shot?

 

Any build with mobility skills?

 

Any build with invulns?

 

Many of the defensive traitlines?

 

Because all of those carry far more than any stat combo. 

 

Overall the only problematic trailblazer/dire builds use a combination of the above. 

 

Coincidentally so do all the problematic Power builds.

True.

That would actually be amazing. 

 

Honestly it would probably help Power builds the most though. Condi mostly got their BiS stats already. 

 

The lack of certain statcombos such as demolisher and various other yet to be named ones to balance out Precision and toughness are some of the biggest problems Power builds have.

I'm just gonna say what I said the last time a topic like this came up. 
 

 

 

Ah yeah the famous advice "Too much damage ? LMAO L2P, just use heal skill, it's easy"

And then you see the other guy "Too much sustain ? LMAO just use weapon skills, easy kill"

 

It's a bit quick to resume a class, a build or a set  etc to the overall mechanic, regardless the efficiency and how it could centralize the gameplay.

Honestly I do care about trailblazer, I find it really  annoyin to fight no matter my build but I don't want it deleted.

If it amuses kitten trolls or kitten low effort guilds  to kill greedy roamers/gankers, whatever ("omg, look at Bob, Trailblazer herald with minstrel Tempest and FB killing noobs at spawn, too much skill in this  video" "With your mace, mallyx and 28k HP and full condi damage, are you playing Berserker ?Please link build, I don't understand" ) : yes it is annoying, yes you can just keep walking or call for help, but there is a reason we don't see vitality/toughness or healing power anymore in PvP.

May be because some amulets and classes have centralized the game and obligate team building to only counter one or two specifics builds, not because L2P issue, ignorance about mechanics.  Doesn't mean this is bad or good, just sometimes it overcentralize the meta, reduce diversity, and need  kick in the kitten until next settling, and repeat.

 

Fortunately this isn't the same gameplay in wvw, and it's okai if you have few kittens  sometimes holding camps. They are not very numerous, nor good, but they are doing their job with the tools Anet gave them. Clearly they don't break the game, just some egos.

I will agree to this, only if thief as a class is deleted. My fun with condi mesmer is a fair trade for getting rid of the least fun class to play against and their insane amount of mobility, stealth and kiting, with very little counter play.

They'll switch to another broken roamer like Soulbeast, ehhh...
