Physical damage I know for sure but have no idea about its effect on condi damage dealers

nothing other than removing a condition affects condi damage.

Good question, I’ve never really paid attention to this. I’ll get back with you in this thread next time I’m in a 1v1 arena.

And minus condition duration and traits such as Engi’s AR..

Damage =/= duration

They still tick for the same amount of damage regardless of what food or traits you run to reduce duration.

100 damage is still 100 damage

Just to clarify on this, the overall damage will not be the same, as the condition will lose ticks if minus condition duration effects are in play, but yes, the condition will still tick each time for the same amount of damage.

Weakness doesnt do anything to condition damage. Only direct damage.

Thanks for clarifying guys because I wasn’t completely certain.

With the help of d/d ele and shoutbow cleanses, I’ve noticed a decrease in condi builds running about in ranked queue. The decline in condi builds made some players too comfortable to bother about cleansing.. Wondering if this will create an opportunity for a high burst condi build since it’s least expected.
