Guild Wars 2

This is something that has been bugging me for a while now. Basically I am wondering if anyone knows the break points for the various Conditions at which you get an extra tick of damage.

This is the same as the haste break points for dots & hots in the game that shall not be named.

For those not familiar with this concept let’s consider Burning. If it ticks every 0.25 seconds (completely made up figure) and you get +20% Burning Duration then a 1 second Burn will get absolutely no use out of that +20% because you’re prolonging the Burn to 1.2 seconds which is 0.05 seconds short of that extra tick of damage.

I’ve tried searching for the answer but I can’t seem to find a valid one. Help is much appreciated.

What will happen when you find the answer? will the game be more or less fun for you?

Not sure about burning, but bleed ticks every second (each stack on its own) and fractions of a second are just wasted. The same applies to poison.

Some people enjoy knowing the ins & outs of the game they play. Which will make the game more fun for them.

I hope that in the future you can find an outlet for your sarcasm somewhere else.

It’s every second for DOTs. Other conditions go to the tenths.
