Guild Wars 2

I was wondering that since their is sooo much Condition Meta in the game, is this Buff going to include condition damage reduction?

this buff is very underwhelming except if I’m 1v1 with a build that wants to melee me.
and I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen that happen.

Doesn’t matter the condi classes can just rip your boons off lol

such balance xdxdxd

Weakness should reduce your outgoing condition damage or the duration of it since conditions generally are thrown around so easy and stuff.

Condition damage ignoring damage reductions is balanced out by the fact it also ignores damage amplifications. No traits, vulnerability stacks, or even special debuffs (like Frenzy) increase damage dealt by conditions.

I think he is talking about %damage increase traits

Correct. Might is a stat increase, not an amplification. It does boost condition damage, but inefficiently. Bleeds get +1.75 damage per might stack, for reference. Power is more difficult to calculate due to the differing coefficients and weapon damages as well as target armor.
