> With Antitoxin runes and Purity of Purpose, all a condi build does is buff the enemy zerg. Only corruption is legit since it can tempoarily remove boons and trap people for a bomb but straight up condi damage in a zerg has been a terrible idea for most of the game's existence (except that while in HoT) and now is probably doing negative damage. If you spam burn on an enemy, what you're really doing is letting the scrappers constantly convert for Aegis. Not to mention Scrappers can do like 200 cleanses in a short fight.

> In short, I'd take a GS soulbeast over a condi whatever. If you are getting run down by a zerg who you can't seem to hurt, then tell people to stop spamming condis and get some scrappers running a build like the above.
Fun Idea:
I started to shot my own Mortar fields into reflects, just so i can get condis to convert.
The ice field gives 1s chill 5times.
Each gets converted in 4+ seconds of alacrity.
Im realy at the point of WANTING condis on me....

Let us buy Ascended gear boxes from the skirmish npc.
No skin and cheaper then crafting.
Also remove the need to hit a target for loot when you are a healer.

1 new utility for every legend.
Also big YES from me to the general idea.

Rework Staff.
Let Ranger cast AA without a target.
Make the wisp a Groundtargeting Skill.
Make Staff 5 bigger.
This alone would make druide viable in WvW.
And this comes from one of the biggest anti ranger guys.

WoW.
So many misinformations here.
Retaliation does NOT give you loot.
Healing/Boons alone do NOT give loot.
You still must hit a target to get any loot.
You only need todo alot less dmg.
From personal exp. dmg under 500 does not give loot.
If you do lets say 500 dmg but the target has only 300hp left in downstate, you magicaly dont get wxp/loot.
Hitting very low life downstates with condis does not count as a hit very often. Even if the dmg is higher then 500.
Next time in wvw, turn on wxp gain in chat in see how often you dont get the kill , even if you did dmg.
Believe me, its crazy.

From HoT launch to this patch, Berserker felt like a Alpha version of a Elite Spec.
Now it feels like Beta.
Anet can still change stuff but atleast Berserker works now like a Elite Spec.

> Is the vigor really worth it? Don't you loose a 20% outgoing healing modifier by taking that trait over another one?
Yes.
For how much does a Orb heal currently?
Anything under 2k is not worth talking about.

I havnt seen someone using trailblazer gear for a long time now.
And minstrel gear is overrated.
Well, going full minstrel is.
-
Because then, everyone would have it and devalue it.
There was a Mini that was only given out at a contest.
It had prestige.
Years later anet gave it out for free.
Now it is a worthless mini nobody cares about.
People want the outfit because its rare and not because it looks good.
If it looses its rarity, it would be a dead skin.

Running the big of boon boost etc that soulbeast has can be useful if you have a group running backline with you. Also people think Ranger is about hitting one person at a time... WRONG, spec it correctly and hit many, not just one.

The fact that you need a giant wall of text, just to even try to make Ranger look usefull, says alot.
Same old problems.
Sure, Ranger can be usefull if the player behind it is skilled enough.
But 99% of rangers are kitten bad.
On the other side, even a monkey is usefull if he plays scourge.
Most Rangers would increase thier usefullnes by playing Meta ALOT.

Buffing Mesmer?

Well... a 5th choice healer is still a healer i guess?

> I love living in the world where "Berserker is absolute trash" and "Berserker is absolutely broken pls fix" can exist at the same time
Today i learned:
I doesnt matter how many drawbacks a build has.
If it just does one thing better then others, it needs to be nerfed ASAP.
List of negativs:
* No Burst while not in B-Form
* Minus 300 Thoughness
* Traits only work in B-Form
* Needs 30 Adrenalin to become playable
* You must waste a Adrenalin filling Skill to make it playable
* B-Form can be interupted
* 12 Seconds of downtime of 100% uselessnes.
* Rage Skills are bad
* If you cant kill someone in B-Form, you are basicaly dead.
Positivs:
* It does dmg.

The multiloot nerf was how long ago?
Feels like more then a year.

Its not wanted because both druid and soulbeast habe terrible weapon choices.
If Soulbeast had Rev Hammer it would see alot of play.
Stances are amazing but without a good weapon....
