Guild Wars 2

Hi, this is just a general calculation for condition damage for the standard S/T A/D dire survival build. I chose this build because its what I enjoy running the most, and also because of the incoming huge changes for condition damage.

Assuming post-patch gear gets exactly a 30% increase in stats.
Post-patch ascended dire gear (dire + rabid trinkets):
-1413 condition damage
-828 vitality
-969 toughness
-140 precision

Condition runes (excluding undead):
175 condition damage

Stats without food (with ambidexterity):
-1738 condition damage
-1828 vitality (24,202 health)
-1969 toughness (3,087 armor)
-1140 precision (14.19% critical chance)

Stats with food (koi cake + tuning crystals)
-1999 condition damage
-1828 vitality (24,202 health)
-1969 toughness (3,087 armor)
-1140 precision (14.19% critical chance)

Condition damage with food (1stack/sec):
-Bleed: 176 (With Hidden Barbs: 234)
-Burning: 441
-Poison: 153

I didn’t bother with Poison Master since nobody’s going to run that trait anyways. Also, you’ll have to do other condition calculations (confusion, torment) yourself depending on what runes you’re running. I myself never run those runes so good luck

Did you followed the new condition calculation? Because it is weird that the poison tick is lower than a regular bleed.

Yes I did. Keep in mind Dagger#4 will apply 3 stacks of poison (459) and Sword#3 will apply 2 stacks of poison (306)

An idea of how much damage you’ll be dealing…

Conditions on Weapon Skills:
-Sword #3 (Serpent Strike): 2 poisons – 306
-Torch#4 (Throw Torch): 2 burnings – 882
-Torch#5 (Bonfire): 1 burning – 441
-Axe#2 (Splitblade): 5 bleeds – 880 (Hidden Barbs – 1170)
-Dagger#4 (Stalker’s Strike): 3 poisons: 459
-Dagger#5 (Crippling Talon): 3 bleeds: 528 (Hidden barbs – 702)

Yeah its ok… But its still weird in my mind to see it ticking less than normal haha. But it does take into account the fact it is 33% less healing.

I’ve been confusing myself on trying to calculate how much armor my cavalier build will have… http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNAQNAR8HAA-TFhYwABV/ZhSQAK/YpbAA-w

I can’t seem to get the numbers right using the calc…

Assuming 30% increase in gear stats again. You’ll get 2413 toughness (3531 armor).

Thanks. How does that calculation work? 1000 base toughness + 1413 toughness from cav armor + how much defense on the armor + what base defense?

Actually I don’t know anymore about toughness → armor conversion. That stuff is tricky. I thought I had it, but it should be somewhere between 3450-3550.
