Guild Wars 2

Power is 1k base. Make Condi Damage the same please. I go “all in” with condi damage and can get nowhere close to the levels of damage from power. In order for condi builds to become truly viable, they need to be put on the same playing field.

Not sure if troll or fool…

Maybe OP is playing a condi spec/class that isn’t bonkers right now. Not everyone can be a burn guard.

I guess I’m a fool. Share your secrets and educate me. Seriously, go ahead. Show me the math that says that non-burn condi dps is equivalent to its counterpart.

I could go burn, but when it gets nerfed I’ll end up like the Irish – potato, I mean condi starved. Condi did get some nice buffs, but it still has a long way to go to stack up to traditional dps. I’d just like to see all condi specs (not just the burn ones) become viable. I think that upping the base condi damage to 1k would do that….

And break the game eve further, no thanks.

How would it break the game? Elucidate.

They are not supposed to be exactly the same. They are not equivalent. Condi completely ignores armor, so you can stack 3k toughness and it will make no difference. Condi is passive, you apply and can go full defense during its duration, where power needs to be active all the time to do damage. Condi needs just one stat to do good damage (condition damage), while power needs power, precision and ferocity. Don’t compare condi damage and power damage one-to-one because from a design standpoint this isn’t logical.

Also, condi in PvP have always been strong. And is even stronger now.

I disagree with this statement.
