Guild Wars 2

Nothing was mentioned about this in the recent blog. Currently it is the second big disadvantage condition damage has along with the issue with vulnerability.

Will condition modifying traits finally influence condition damage?

There are already traits like that. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Poison_Master for example.

Actually the biggest problem would be the fact that condition damage does nothing against objects. :/

I think they’re going to keep that on purpose so that Phy damage will still have a huge influence for taking down objects. Or least I hope, because bleeding a fence (while would be funny as hell) is not practical.

You just made my day, because I completely forgot about that. xD

I guess it’s kinda the logic Anet follows to make people able to have variety

‘Is it a creature? Conditions can damage, if not then it will not be effected.’

Or something like that.

It’s in the better interest of Power characters for objects to be treated more like creatures.

Objects (including really large bosses) don’t take critical damage.

I guess we should reduce sword damage against stone enemies by 99% as well then? And I mean hitting a sword on a fence would dull it so quickly that it would no longer be a sword within a few seconds. Just being practical…

chilling a legendary ice elemental?
crippling an ooze?
blinding an ooze?

At the very least most of the objects should not be immuned to being burned.

I guess since we’ve gotten a little off topic, We don’t know and can only make observations for now.

Face rubbing a door in WvW shouldn’t be a thing. Makeing doors like they are in stronghold, invulnerable to all player effects. This could spice things up.

Side note:
Tequatl, Wurm, etc. In light of the condition change, should also become vulnerable to critical strikes.

I do hope +% damage traits and sigils will work for condition damage too.

I think it is possible, since they did say Vunrability will now effect condition damage. So they should already have the stuff worked out for % damage. Would be very nice if it also applied on traits and sigils.

Well, some Mobs are immune to a Conditions that make no sense.

Some Destroyes are immune to Burning
Dredge are immune to Blind

Not all dredge are immune to blind.

I was definitely not referring to WvW doors because against those it doesn’t matter if you are using conditions or not. The damage is like scratching a door with your nails in either case.

Yes, went a little off topic but with massive amounts of people scratching,.Think GoT S5 E8

It is a mistake to assume everyone watches that show.

That aside. If you can scratch through the door then the defenders are probably asleep. It is a boring situation regardless.

Well taking down a reinforced door with dagger stabs will be much more realistic then just setting it ablaze…

I can imagine a door not reacting to confusion, but who knows.
Bleeding is the deteriorating effect of cutting things up and I can see a door being tormented, poisoning, can be done with toxins but also with acid… (yes, evil…) acid will eat the door. (doubt it will be feared though, stunned, nah….)

I wonder if Retaliation will do more damage to targets with Vulnerability (in-case the door ever decides to hit back).

Anyway, the clear way to stop PvDooring is to have all your rangers switch to Retalbear.

Stun isn’t a condition anyway.
