Guild Wars 2

It’s been over a year now and I have to ask, is there anything being done about condition stacking?

I understand this can be a complex issue in zerg play, but it’s even flawed in 5 man parties! I won’t even run a condition based build in dungeons because the ~1,000 DPS my burning and poison cause together takes a huge hit if anyone else in the party applies it.

Especially with burning and poison the matter is negligible.

For duration stacking conditions, the higher one is priorized. So is your burning deals more damage than any of your party’s and you manage a 100% burning uptime, none of your party will be able to inflict any burning damage (except attacking before you attack).
So for a party, the higher damage is always the one that counts.

Definitively one of the worst mechanics in-game and yet unaddressed. I would also like to know what is being done in this matter.

To my knowledge: nothing is being done.

Feel free to dig it up…

I also had a condition build, but it doesn’t work at all when it’s most needed (bosses with lots of health).

The reason behind the 25 stack limit is because the servers wouldn’t be able to handle too high stacks. 25 is far to low though…
