Guild Wars 2

I have read that the difference between Exotic and Ascended for power/crit builds is 5%-10% damage but what if I run a condition spec character?

What condition damage (if any) does the ascended weapons offer me?

Carrion pearl axe gives +90 condition damage
Occam’s Reaver (carrion stats) gives + 94 condition damage.

So this is as well bout 5% damage, there are also stats where conditiondamage is the second or third attribute, if you want to know those please use the wiki yourself.

(look for ascended weapons, and for exotic pearl weapons and see the difference.)

I know the stats, I mean damage in real-terms…
(damage per tick) difference?
Power builds show a 5-10% Damage difference (according to reports I have read) so wondering if the +4 cond damage on the weapons also translates to 5-10% extra damage per tick?

errr… +4 condition damage is = 5% damage?

Either I don’t understand how condition damage works at all or you are using some might strange “new” math there. If you mean it’s a 5% increase in the condition damage number….well ok, but that does NOT translate to +5% DPS (as I understand how condition damage applies to actual DPS).

No. Wiki has info on how Condition Damage actually applies damage and it is different for almost all conditions. Ex: For Bleeding, I think you need about +50 condition damage increase to get a +5% increase in actual damage per tick. Other conditions vary in how that would work and it depends on how conditions actually stack.

Sorry, I ment +5% condition damage. I prefer this term, cause the actual number is fawled cause of all the downscaling going on. An ascended weapon rewards 5% hiogher stats for condition damage then an exotic weapon with the same set of stats.
