Guild Wars 2

Hi all:
Im theory crafting a sinister build, and I intend on utilizing Bowls of Sweet and Spicy Beans. Can condition duration be increased beyond 100%? otherwise I might not buy these because it kind of stinks to have to pay 1g an hour for a build to work.

Nope. +100% is the max effective duration.

That said, there is a niche for going beyond that, as any -condition duration effects are done additively. For example, if you had + 125% bleed duration, you wouldn’t normally see any difference on bleed duration than someone with just + 100% duration. However, on someone wearing Runes of Melandru, your duration would not be decreased, as you would still be hitting the cap (+ 125%-25%=100%).

Not generally worth it, though, as the rest of the time you have wasted stats.

Ok! thanks! I might still buy something like Koi Cakes or something and run aristocracy runes. (Or Flame Legion and use dhuumfire… BRINGIN IT BACK)

pretty sure that Lingering Curse still exceeds the cap.

It does and it doesn’t. Lingering Curse changes the base durations that the condition duration multiplies.
