Guild Wars 2

Hello dear GW2 community

My question is or is not simple, depends on the game mechanics. If I were to have 100% condition duration reduction (but I don’t know if that’s even possible), would conditions be nullified completely when I get them or would the condition duration increase of my enemy play a role as well.

For example:
Let’s say A has 150% condition duration increase and I, B, has got the full 100% decrease. Would that mean that the duration of the conditions on B are still only half of the original value from A OR

Do the 150% function as the new 100% when trying to calculate the new percentage of the final condition duration?

Pls tell me if you know something about it. It’d really appreciate the help since my Guardian is so weak against condition builds

the condition duration of your enemy will play a role. If he has 100% condition duration, they would cancel out and apply the conditions as if you had no negative duration and he had no positive duration.

Time = ConditionTime * (Attacker Duration – Defender Duration Reduction)

This means that Hoelbrak Runes (-20%), Food (-40%) and the Warrior’s Berserker Stance (-100%) can effectively cancel out all the possible stacking that the attacker could have, making the Warrior invulnerable to conditions while Berserker’s Stance is active. A Guardian can reach a maximum of -65% (Melandru + Food) much like each other class (AFAIK).

Nope. Guardians can have 99% condition durtion reduction for 5 SECONDS!!!! after they cast purging flames.

most any condition class will have the +40% condition duration food as well as trait investment, so thats an easy 70% right there. i guess it evens out altho i still hate berserker stance from a condi perspective.

I don’t think they’ve fixed Berserker Stance yet have they? AFAIK right now it just gives condition immunity rather than a -100% duration.
