More than 100% condition duration
Condition duration cannot be increased beyond 100%
Ok I read that and I see this. But my hero screen shows 126% condition duration with the ability to increase to 130%
So if I cant go above how come the game allows me to
it won’t allow conditions you apply to have a bonus of more than 100% (double)
BUT if what I’ve read from dev posts is correct, then if an opponent has -condi duration bonuses, then it will not subtract from 100% but from your actual bonus. Meaning if someone has melandru runes, you could still apply +100% duration conditions to them. (126 – 25 = 101)

Yeah. If you have 126% extra duration, and a warrior is running -98% cripple/chill/etc duration, you will still have +28% duration over your base.
I personally don’t see the point in going over 70% duration.

Oh, that’s strange:
When I reached 101%, I focused on my Elixir Gun’s Bleeds. I increased the Condi Duration to 125% and got the Bleed Duration on my Elixir Gun to last about 0.5 seconds longer.
Generally, condi duration at around 60 to 90% is good enough. Anything higher than that it’ll be cured too quickly to take full effect. Basically, once you get 90%, focus on condition damage, as it is more powerful in pvp/wvw than duration.
If you make your conditions too long, they’ll just get cleansed before hitting their full duration anyways, meaning you wasted stat points into something that could have gone into condition damage or toughness or something.
Condition duration beyond 50% is typically only for abusing specific abilities.
