Guild Wars 2

was wondering what does more damage with all condition and slight to medium power what would do more damage pistol or flame thrower

More damage: Flamethrower. The reason is that the flamethrower can maintain a constant burning effect.

Pistol maintains a permanent set of 2 stacks of bleeding. but bleeding is stackable till 25. a stack of 2 will do a lot less damage. The other skills on the pistol (assuming your dual wielding) are all short duration effect (2-3 seconds) with a long recharge. nice but not very impressive.

Besides that, the main condition (burning) on the flamethrower is applied as AoE (everything in the line of fire will get toasted), as where the bleed from the pistol is single target.

That is the main reason I mostly play rifle/flamethrower.
The flamethrower is a very good AoE/condition dealer with limited control mechanisms (a true nuker) where the rifle is very good at CC-ing one or two foes (e.g. when fighting a veteran).

Pistols are to me more of a weaker version of the flamethrower.

That being said, flamethrower deals more damage as a power/prec weapon rather than condition.

well iv invested a lot into 2sets of exotic armor all forusing on power precision condition ange and preision condition damage and toughness. so since my condition damae is 100% what would be best weapon you think?

Really? So i have been focussing on the wrong stats then as a flamethrower engie… so power/precision/thoughness is best?
