Guild Wars 2

There is a huge problem with down scaling of condition damage.
Condition damage has a hard cap when you are down scaled.
And I hit this cap in dungeons like Ascalon Explorer and honor of the waves without head, chest and leg armor pieces… So the main attribute of the biggest 3 armor parts is wasted.

Ascalonian Catacombs (explorer mode) – 464 hard cap @ lvl 35
Honor of the Waves (story mode) – 1458 hard cap @ lvl 76

Trinkets: ascended rabid/rabid stats without infusions
Back: exotic rabid/exquisite chrysocola
Armor: gloves, shoes, shoulders rabid/superior rune of the undead
Weapons: zepter or dagger rabid/superior sigil of agony, dagger or focus rabid/superior sigil of bursting
Buff consumables: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Koi_Cake http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quality_Tuning_Crystal

If I add the other 3 armor pieces with rabid/superior rune of the undead stats I don’t get any additional condition damage.

Only boosts like Banner of Strength, Sigil of Corruption stacks and Might can increase your condition damage above the hard cap.

Can you provide screen shots of the different downscaled dungeons with the gear swapped out?

I have a full rabid set as well, and would be happy to see if this is in fact, yet another condition damage issue.

Here are some screens.
When I use a major and a superior sigil of bursting in Honor of the Waves I only need 1 armor piece to reach the cap.

So ANet still ignores this…

Hey ANet why just not remove condition damage completely from the game and force everyone into power??? Like you said you work on a way for condition damage to trigger on buildings… Nothing happens…

I wonder what the hard cap on power is under those circumstances?
