Now that ranger pets have base Condition Damage stats, I started looking at which pets have the potential to do decent condi damage, and I realized that the conditions shown in the ranger pet skill tooltips (F2 and the Pet Management menu) are way off from the actual values. I did some tests in HotM and found the following:
- Conditions shown in the tooltips seem to be calculated using an extra 800 Condition Damage over the pet’s base Condition Damage (1800 for a pet with base 1000, 1200 for a pet with base 400, etc.)
- The additional Condition Damage and Condition Duration from Expertise Training do not affect the tooltip (but DO affect the actual damage done).
- Bonuses from the Hidden Barbs (20%) and Poison Master (25%) traits DO affect the tooltip but DO NOT affect the actual damage done.
- These all happen regardless of which amulet/runes I equip, so it doesn’t seem to be related to my Condition Damage stat.
