Guild Wars 2

I put intensity in quotes because what i mean is to use the size of the stack as a duration timer rather than how it is done now.

Meaning that if i applied say 5 bleed, they would last for 5 seconds. But after each second, the bleed stack would be reduced by 1.

Similarly, protection would apply say a stack size of 3, and so lasting 3 seconds.

This should greatly reduce the amount of server resources required to track all those boons and condition timers.

I don’t think that would work out. You have to be able to track individual durations and damage per owner, otherwise the condition system becomes dull and could as well be removed.
