Hoping that the release of “Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns” is just around the corner, ArenaNet is announcing more and more changes in the upcoming addon. Players who enjoy making life difficult for their opponents with conditions can especially look forward to this.
No more conditions cap
Conditions such as Bleeding previously could only stack on an opponent up to a certain cap. This especially complicated the teamwork of characters who are specialized in these conditions. For example, the more players stand on a boss, the less damage each individual player added through the conditions. Logically: Once a cap is reached, using skills only extends the duration of the conditions but does not add new stacks.
How exactly the change will affect PvE, which is set to become more challenging with HoT, is still unknown. However, we are looking forward to the ultimate debuff that will likely be possible with Heart of Thorns. By the way, the debuff will deal more damage with a Legendary, which you will obtain in different ways in the future.
More information about the addon Heart of Thorns and generally about GW2 can be found on our thematic page for Guild Wars 2.
