Guild Wars 2

I have my thief at level 65 right now and I’m trying to use a condition damage build.

Thief has some traits that increase damage:

Exposed Weakness (Deal 10% more damage if your target has a condition)
Lead attacks (Increases damage by 1% per initiative)
First strikes (10% increased damage when initiative is over 6)
Fluid strikes (Increases damage by 10% when endurance is not full)

I would like to know if those numbers are applied only to brute damage or to the condition damage as well.

Anyone knows something about it?

STRanger.5120:

Yes, those apply only to direct damage (which is sad )

It is not especially sad,because on the other hands conditions aren’t affected by damage reducing effects(like protection). The same they aren’t affected by neither toughness or power.

i belive those traits refer to direct damage not Damage over time

Yes, those apply only to direct damage (which is sad )

To increase the condition damage, you need anything that’s addressed as “+X to condition damage”.

That’s sad.

Thank you all.
