Guild Wars 2

When you have the sigil of generosity on a weapon, is the damage you send back to your opponent THEIR condition damage or does it filter the condition as if you placed it, therefore using YOUR condition on the opponent..? I’m wondering because I’m a ranger with no condi damage at all. If i got like 520 burn damage put on me, and then I send that back to someone will they take 520 burn damage, or will that get way scaled down since I have no condi damage..?

Please only answer if you KNOW. Don’t give me your best guess. Thanks ^^

It works the same way as the Necromancer’s Deathly Swarm and Mesmer’s Arcane Thievery. Example:

• My Necro (1600 Condition Damage, 50% Condition Duration) receives a 328 dps Burn from a Guardian (0 Condition Damage; 0% Condition Duration) with a 10s duration.
• I transfer the Burn to another target, which is applied to the target after 1s (i.e. 9s duration remaining).
• The new target would then suffer a 728 dps (328 base + 0.25 * 1600) Burn for 13.5s (9 * 1.5)

Don’t forget about Putrid mark as well. This combined with Deathly Swarm makes condi Necro nearly impossible to lose against another condi in a 1v1 fight. Especially when used right before a Fear. Lure the condi clears/stun breaks then hit them with Deathly Swarm (transfer tracks to multiple targets) and follup up with Terror traited Reapers mark. 5-7k damage the can do thing about. These are fendementals tactics of playing a Terrormancer. This also works for me as a Powermancer. Although I don’t have the condi pressure it can still set them up for an incoming burst. It’s a bit unconventional to run offhand dagger but a good condi transfer followed by AoE weakness has saved my but many times when starting with 0 LF.

Some life blast or BiP can even give Power a bit of condi pressure with good timing of my transfers.
