What if condies behaved this way

[Loading.4503]

Take away condi stacks and just have skills add condi durations per attack instead.

 

Condi cleanse can either cleanse a condi completely or remove duration base on how powerful of a trait/utility/cooldown

 

Condi damage let’s ticks tick for more the longer a condi has been ticking for and expertise still increases duration to allow condi damage to work. That way it can address the condi builds only require 1 stat but power builds require 2 argument, and also the condi needs a ramp up time issue.

Whats the intention behind it?

It's already the case that the more conditions you stack the more dmg you do. But you can only stack conditions over time. So the time is already the essential part.

There's no real difference between not stacking conditions but stacking time and do damage that way. The end result is the exact same.

 

All you would achieve is take the number on the stack away and render everyone clueless on how long the condition is already there and how much dmg it will do.

Which makes conditions even harder to read in PvP and PvE.

 

Also, you would still need stacking conditions unless your suggestion is that more than one condi build in a raid or on a worldboss is useless.

Thus making more than 1 condi user completely useless. Great.
