Weakness vs condi

[Lahmia.2193]

Just as Anet allowed Vulnerability to increase condition damage, what they made it so Weakness reduced your condition damage by a set amount? In addition to its current effects that is. Discuss.

Considering weaknesses is a 50% chance to miss, this already works on condis.

 

If I fumble my attack to apply torment (say a revenant auto attack with mace) I miss, and don't apply any torment. So... Weaknesses already does what you want it to.

It grants a 50% chance to fumble, not miss. Fumble causes the hit to deal 50% less damage and cannot crit.

50% miss, lol.

Weakness should rework to make conditions deal 50% less damage

[CptAurellian.9537]

This has been suggested a few times before. I'd definitely welcome a change that would make 50% of condi ticks deal just 50% damage when the player is affected by weakness.

I suggest a 50% duration reduction on any condition applied during weakness. This way it reduces condi dmg by half by having it end early.

[Linken.6345]

For weakness to do this condition ticks should have to be able to crit aswell.

 

[Sigmoid.7082]

The amount of clear would have to be reduced.

The more you can mitigate condition damage the less you should be able to negate it.

I'm all about reducing condi, but look at who craps out the most weakness and ask yourself, does scourge really need abother buff?

Would personally suggest such a thing be applied to the Regeneration boon (a chance to cut a single round of condition tics by 50%) but I'd start the chance at 10% and scale it with healing power.

Condis cannot crit so weakness affecting condis is a way to circumvent the fact they cannot crit. That's not balance.
