As someone who has recently crossed back over from ESO (played that since release) i can tell you that in my experience GW2 feels way more alive than any game i currently play, mainly due to the open world aspect that this game does better than anyone else. In ESO i could wander zones and bump into a handful of people or a group doing rotations in Blackreach, but here its much more vibrant and as the above poster has said i am catching up on LW content (just finished Skyscale) and there are still folks doing Meta's in these older zones. I was/am a Grand Overlord / Former Emperor in Cyrodill PvP which is being destroyed by their 'Performance' balancing and having now sampled GW2 WvW no way am i going back. From what i can see this game is nowhere near dead, far from it, its a breath of fresh air after the disaster that is now ESO. Be Safe

I don't have much experience of Condi builds but i mained an Engi since release and recently returned to the game. I used to run riffle and turrets as most did but for a change i did the scrapper spec. Core is good and still holds a lot of decent skills and whilst i fully back anyone wanting to play how they want i cant recommend Scrapper enough. You can still play core (i hated the hammer to start with) and use riffle/pistol etc but Scrapper is like CoreV2, it gives you so much more on top, more survivability (barriers), some decent speed buffs and a 'get out of jail free card' with sneak gyro. I hate Holo - its not my style but for someone who loved Core, scrapper is just the icing on the cake. Again not trying yo change your mind but you can still have the core 'feel' with extra's.

Aww dont be depressed im an old retired Soldier :) Thanks for the advice, i was just looking at condi cleanse having run into a few mobs that really hurt (casters in Istan?), luckily my tankyness saved me but.

Seriously cannot believe what im reading here, OP how much have you learned in all those hours of PvP? im a returning player crossing back from ESO PvP to WVW in here as a Ranger. With less than 100 hours or so in GW2 wvw even i have no problems with Reapers (Scourges on the other hand!). LB/GS, Lightening reflexes, muddy terrain and use the Jacaranda because if owt needs a nerf its that bloody plant. Honestly if shroud is an issue keep at distance and wait until its over - then toast um. Even better just swap to a Druid, root root root, they never get close. Be Safe
