Guild Wars 2

What do you think would do the most dps. 2.306 power with 126 condi dmg and 213 crit dmg and 44% chance to crit Or. 2.245 power. 416 condi dmg. 203 crit dmg. And 41% chance. My sources of condi are sigil of torment. Riposte (4 stacks of bleed) impale (5stacks torment) and flurry (11stacks of bleed) with the sword auto attack (one stack of bleed)

I’m confused. Do you want “Warrior’s max damage possible” or do you want to know which one of your setups is worse?

Which of those two would do a higher combined dps (power and condition damage) to kill things faster.

You will not get good DPS by combining Power and Condition Damage…..

All maths point to full Berserker if you want max DPS. You will drop like a rock when hit, but you will be max DPS.

I think ‘pop like a water ballon’ is a better phrase to use here.

There are condi warriors and burst warriors. And tanks. But forget them. Why can’t there be a hybrid that functions just as well?

Because specializing in something > spreading your stats everywhere. I don’t know much about warriors but they are not a class who would benefit from being mediocre at everything. Your hybrid is everywhere, so spread out that you’ll die against any players that respect itself without doing a scratch

Because of simple addition and the fact that you have limited pool of stats for a set of gear.
Specializing is NOT always better than spreading your stats around (a bit), but it is the only way to get MAX anything (and that is what the OP was asking for). The only mode in the game that requires MAX DPS is Dungeon speed runs.

this is way oversimplified, but I feel like the point is the same:
total damage = direct damage * critical damage + condition damage * condition duration
let’s say you have 1000 in each: 1,000 * 1,000 + 1,000 * 1,000 = 2,000,000
let’s focus more on condition damage: 500 * 500 + 1,500 * 1,500 = 2,500,00
how about focusing on both damages but less on the multipliers: 1,500 * 500 + 1,500 * 500 = 1,500,000
now we focus entirely on direct damage: 2,000 * 2,000 + 0 * 0 = 4,000,000
what about more direction damage than direct damage multiplier: 2,500 * 1,500 + 0 * 0 = 3,750,000

Some things to take away from this:
- focusing on one thing will maximize your damage output due to multiplicative effect.
- balance damage and damage multiplier. in the real game these aren’t direct number:number comparable (and there’s also that pesky damage multiplier chance), but there is still a point where they are maximized. lots of posts out there about “if I have 2000 power and 1500 precision and 500 ferocity, which should I add an extra 50 to to get the most effect?”
