Has anyone parsed or compared stacking condition damage compared to stacking critical? If so what were the average numbers you found?

Apples and Oranges.

Condition relies too much on playstyle to really try to parse. Your ability to keep bleed stacks as high as possible will effect numbers when parsing.

Critical is mostly RNG, so once again, parsing would be inaccurate unless you had a ridiculous sample size.

You can probably assume that over time, they would both do similar damage, but depending on the situation, one will out perform the other. Short fights, condition does not perform well as you dont get enough time to get stacks up and let them do work. In long fights, or fights with multiple enemies, condition performs better than critical if you are DD and worse if you are talking about S/P vs P/D.

2 different builds.Both have advantages and not.Power build stacking critical is better in terms of damage + its instant but condition dealers have better survivability .
