condition dmg in spvp
Not that I’ve ever noticied.
No, you should get the kill as well, if you’ve dealt damage.
Conditions will get you glory, however farming glory for fast kills direct damage classes are faster.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I was wondering about condition dmg in spvp and earning glory. It seems to me that often I will deal a pretty good chunk of condition dmg to a bad guy but not get any credit for the kill. What are the rules here? Do direct damage dealers have an advantage in accumulating glory via kills in spvp?
Thanks!
I’ve had the same thing happen heaps of times. Done thousands of damage to a foe and got no credit.
We don’t need to make mandatory gear treadmills, we make all of it optional

Oh if they remove conditions right before they die sometimes you dont get anything if you dont attack them again or stomp. Its rare only happened a few times to me.

I feel like this was happening to me a LOT last night. I would go into a big skirmish and spread around a ton of bleeds and watch the damage roll and I know several of those guys would get stmped but not by me and I would get credit only for maybe one. Quite frustrating for a casual pvper just looking to get some glory for my efforts…
If you lose credit by them removing conditions but then dying right after anyways because they were so low from said conditions, I would call that a BUG! I’m sure this type of thing happens rather often since so many builds have condition removal. If i whittle away 75% of their health and they end up dying in the skirmish regardless of whether I execute the stomp I should get some credit.
Disclaimer: I realize spvp is not about kills but for the sake of gaining glory it IS important.
I was just playing again and was fighting three guys along with a teammate at waterfall node – we killed all three and I KNOW I had put out a ton of damage on all three with my bleeds but I only got credit for one – the one I stomped.
That is really crap in my opinion. I mean, is ANet trying to force thieves into backstab (burst) builds and discouraging condition builds for casual hot join? Or is this just a bug? Either way it sucks because the condition build is the one I enjoy most but I’m punished for it glory wise… not cool.
