Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,

I’ve searched on Google and GW2 wiki but I didn’t find the answer I’m looking for.

Can anyone confirm if the critical % chance and critical damage bonus applies to condition damage like bleed, burning, poison, and confusion?

We know that all condition damage are damage over time except confusion. For each tick or pulse from DOT condition damage like bleed, burning or poison, does critical % chance/damage increase their damage? What about non-DOT condition damage like confusion (backfire), does it gain critical damage and % critical chance?

If the answer to the above is yes, then does critical % chance and damage applies to Mesmer’s illusions?

Thanks guys

Right now it does not. So if your going for a condition based char, do NOT take up any + to crit dmg.

I play a ranger and I use conditions and critical damage. Maybe it’s better to put all points into condition damage or critical damage. I have tried to balance my points right now until I figure out how all the traits and attributes really end up affecting gameplay.
