Guild Wars 2

So… If i were to increase my personal ‘Condition Damage’ stat….say with either trait distribution, a consumable, runes (like lyssa w/ a generic ‘CD’ instead of a specific type of CD), etc. etc…..
How globally/individually specific is this applied??

100% positive CD’s can include say, bleeding i inflict on another toon, poisoning I inflict, burning, etc.

BUT…

Are ALL conditions, regardless of a (kind of an oxymoron) condition damage’s, direct damage, or are all damages increased with my initiation of the damage inflicted due to this stat?

i.e. Say I inflict 10 stacks of vulnerability at 0 CD stat.. is this increased, and duely the damage taken by the oppoonent, by me having this stat?

another example/questioned stat would be say…. Blind….. maybe not for ‘CD’ specifically… but would a CDuration stat buff increase a blinds duratin from say 5-6 secs w/ enough of a stat?

Thank You

Blinds and vuln are conditions, and therefore are increased by condition duration. Condition damage only affects damaging conditions, ie bleeds, burn, poison, confusion, and torment.

Conditions can be separated into two categories and two subcategories (each)

1. Damaging
   1. Intensity stacking (Bleed, Torment, Confusion)
   2. Duration stacking (Burning, Poison)
2. Non-damaging
   1. Intensity stacking (Vulnerability)
   2. Duration stacking (Blind, Chilled, Crippled, Immobilized, Weakness)

And Fear is a special case.

As Carpboy said, malice (old name of the stat condition damage – used to not confuse with bleeding’s condition damage) only affects the first category and conduration affects all.
As example for malice’s influence on the condition’s damage I’ll post the formula:

• (0.05 * Condition Damage) + 42.5; per stack per second at level 80

Hint:
CD means CoolDown, not condition damage or condition duration.

Thanks for the clarification
