Guild Wars 2

Hi, i’m in the market for 2 condition damage Exotic daggers but not sure which ones to get?

Maybe Carion with agony runes? (for cond +bleed duration)?

Condition damage and Vitality are always nice as Power, Precision and Crit Dmg do not effect conditions. Keep in mind that only 1 ‘per kill’ rune will trigger and stack, meaning that 2x agony won’t do you any good. This goes for any rune with stacks, Agony + Blood is a waste because you will get either Condtion or Power stacks but not both.

Agony sigil is for bleeding duration, not for condition dmg stacks. However i think that two runes with percentage bonuses also don´t stack….

I was able to quickly figure out that the sigils that give a bonus per kill indeed do not stack. The % bonus sigils however, I have been running because I thought they DID stack. How can I test this to find out? If I am wasting a sigil to try and get 10% + 10% bleed duration, I kinda need to know so I can switch one out! Thanks in advance for any info on this!

You can test it in PvP, get a steady weapons, attach sigils and test on dummies. Also I think that when beta was running, someone from the Devs stated that two +5% damage sigils do not stack, so my idea comes from this statement.

2x agony sigils do stack. I have exactly 75% bleed duration with my setup which includes 2x 10% agony sigils and I get 7 ticks on vital shot with no food.

I’m not sure I understand you. Are you saying Power doesnt effect Condition’s?
I was under the impression that they effect the damage ticks things like Bleeding do.

Power indeed doesn´t affect condition ticks, condition dmg stat does that.
Power affects only direct dmg attacks.

Great, thanks for clarification then However, I still don´t know if this applies for the +5 damage sigils also.

Here’s a short video showing the sPvP (although you can do the same in PvE/WvW) setup for an initiative D/D blossom spam. Sorry for the flickeriness. I forgot to turn windowed mode on.
