Guild Wars 2

Hi

so ever since the changes and Condis have gotten more powerful and Viable I’ve been wanting to test out how much condition dmg I do per tick etc so I’ve been attempting to watch them

The problem that im having is that the visual condition ticks that pop up on the enemy are completely obscured buy the visual Direct dmg notification sometimes that pops up when I hit a enemy..

This is pretty annoying and makes it difficult to see how much dmg Im actually doing..
I’ve also been having the same issue with my Ranger and his Piercing arrows causing a massive cluster of dmg counters that are completely unreadable..

My Request is that could we have a new visual damage counter?

A optional one that shows the accumilated total damage done by you during a battle, condition and direct dmg included

and a change to the current dmg counter so that your condition ticks, Life Siphon and AoE ticks are not overlapping one another making them impossible to see

I think both of these would be good additions to the game and I think people would really like a visual number to show how much thier damage effectiveness is

There could even be a optional chat post option as well so that other players or party members can see who is actually doing the most damage and could even make some friendly competition out of it

Not only is it obscured, but it’s not on the screen long enough to see half the time either.

+1 to a redo to numbers – both damage incoming and outgoing, as well as heals incoming and outgoing.

Why not just open up your combat log screen and check it there.

Because you cannot show just condition damage. You get everything that inflicts damage in the combat log.

you can turn of certain dmg parameter.
ther eis a arrow on the combat log option. give only buffed out goin dmg a check and you see only condi dmg

No, you wont. Outgoing damage shows EVERYTHING that inflicts damage. There is no suboption for just condition damage. You either see all or none.

There is a little arrow that lets you choose what you see, outgoing/incoming dmg, heals, buffs, interrupts. all of it.
Choose “outgoing buff damage” that is the term used to show only your condition dmg you do. be sure to turn off all of the incoming effects.

The Combat Log is the only real way to do it atm but its a complete mess of Chat spam.. which Is why I avoid using it..

Its not friendly enough really.. and im not a die hard kind of player who’s willing to spend all that time counting and doing math to work out my average dps or how much dmg I did in that specific battle.. in fact my math abilities are extremely poor.. they always have been.. ever since I was a child.. which was the main reason I give up persuing a career in game design.. and Electronics for that matter too…

A maximum damage counter akin to something I descibed in my original post would be such a big help to me and im sure to many others who find themselves mathematically handicapped

OUTGOING BUFF DAMAGE is for condis
not just OUTGOING DAMAGE
