Q:

I tried to search for a clear cut answer but I wasn’t finding it:

When you hover your mouse over condition duration and it shows your burning duration increase, how do those two stack? I’m trying to get 100% burning duration and I am not sure how to read the 2 together since I have a mixture of condi dur/burning dur stats. Thanks in advanced!

A:

Hovering over your condition duration will show your total condition duration, and the TOTAL condition duration of for each specific condition duration increases. Condition duration is capped at +100% though the skill tooltips will still try to show things as if it could go over.

Example:
- 20% condition duration from koi cake
- 85% burn duration from sigil of smoldering, burning precision trait and rune of balthazar
- you will have +100% duration for your burns which will be shown as such by the hover-over in the hero panel (rather than 105%)

Unlike ingame, http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/ will show the condition specific durations separately as they are rather than the combined value.

They’re not read together. Each percentage next to the individual conditions is the total number effecting it.

So just to clarify, to achieve 100% burning duration, the individual burning condition when hovering your mouse over the overall condition duration stat line has to read “100%”?

EDIT: Here’s my current scenario – right now I have 73% condition duration increase, and 40% burning. So does that mean my burns will only have 40% duration increase since my build only using burning? Thinking of it this way… there’s no point in my upping my main condition duration… Sorry as I am trying to get this clarified before I spend gold on viper and trailblazer asc gears.

Ah, thank you. I get it now, specially since in game gives the actual burning value I would have. My confusion was that I didn’t know whether to read the total condi duration and the burning condition separately or together. Hopefully understanding correctly, as of right now, I pretty much have 100% burning with this build:
