Guild Wars 2

Okay so basically I’m timing how long it takes to down a heavy dummy. i have not completed the spread sheet but i thought i would share some of the things i have observed.
Conditional damage beats everything. Nothing is higher except a high crit build but i don’t have anyway of testing this.
Another thing i have come across is that all basic attacks have the highest dps, in most cases. So never use any other skill unless for certain purpose. eg blind to stop charge attack. Cripple when target moves.
Damage is mostly determined by percentage increases. Not stats. At the end of the game you have a good amount of dps with no gear. So mainly focus on dmg increases. It should be relatively easy to get 20% on most classes.
Healing power is not so bad. The main thing with healing power is to focus on regen other than big heals. With 1000 healing power it doubles regen. The thing to weary about is that it only stacks duration but the hps will use the highest person healing power. Basically on have 1 healer.
So guys let me know if u want to the spread sheet because it takes a lot of work.

By “condition damage beats everything” is that all conditions? Or does one condition do better than others (bleed, poison, burn, confuse, etc).

Interesting that a high crit build is higher than condition damage, because I see synergy with those “effect on crit” sigils.

Yeah i probably should have elaborated. Basically bleed then fire then poison. Bleed is the best but only if your fight goes longer than the duration. So 8 second bleed you reach max dps at 8 seconds. Fire and poison instantly have highest dps.

Effect on crit is normally a waste of time because it better to have increase duration. If it’s a trait then go ahead but I would not recommend it though
