- Condition damage only scales with 2 attributes, namely Condition Damage and Condition Duration (Expertise). (Overlooking small damage increase from normal damage, condi attacks usually scale very badly and condition application from crits.) Condition Duration doesn't even really count.
- Feb 18, 2020 A old school player that came back to Guild Wars 2 since 2015. And every one is at MAX LEVEL attributes; and as in for World Vs. Healing for either POWER dmg or CONDI dmg.
Oct 07, 2015 I do agree though, condi druid may be an option (even better) because condi damage is important in raids and condi damage needs just 2 stats (duration and condi damage). Given this, meta might be a condi druid, however, one problem is most duration is from pizza and rice balls are better for healing so that's a big issue.

Group Stealth
Thief's unique support in groups is group-wide stealth access through smoke fields, which can be used for skipping trash and parts of certain fractals.
- should be used as the primary smoke field due to lack of cooldown. Have party members chain blasts in this field with you, while you blast it with . The smoke field only lasts 4s so you need help from your party in order to stack a significant amount of stealth.
- Use Smoke Screen in less organised groups since it gives a longer stealth field for easier blasting.
- gives a large amount of area stealth without needing to use blast finishers. This skill is useful when stealthing next to or on top of mobs since most blast finishers deal damage and thus break stealth. When possible retrait for Shadow Arts before using it to get the benefit of and the cooldown reduction of
- gives 3s of stealth, is a blast finisher, and causes no damage making it very useful if you have to cover a long distance. It is often used in combination with Black Powder.
Pathing
Once you trigger certain mob groups while being in stealth they will follow you unless you 'path' them. This is done by standing still until the mobs reach you.
Skipping Ahead
After stealthing with your group you can use a lot of skills to skip ahead of your group to trigger bosses/events faster to save time. This requires you to be able to retrait fast for full efficiency but isn't needed.
Shadow Arts should be used instead of Deadly Arts to reduce the cooldowns of Deception skills and get longer stealth from your skills.

edited October 24, 2017 in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
For those who don't know, before launch, all of the secondary attributes had flavor names similar to the primary attributes, and they were changed to be descriptive sometime around launch. I have no idea why, because, apart from being less interesting, it removes clarity rather than adding it. Over time, Ferocity, Expertise, and Concentration all made their way back due to the need to have a secondary attribute influencing a derived attribute. Only Healing power and condition damage are left (and the profession attributes, sort of.)
Gw 2 Guru
Condition Damage was Malice, and Healing Power was Compassion, though I could think of terms that work better than Compassion (like Spirit)
I think it's time for Anet to formally change them. The flavor names roll of the tongue more easily, they are faster to type, and they are less ambiguous in discussion. - you can easily distinguish between the attribute Malice vs. a condition damage build, which involves more than just the one attribute. Likewise, you can easily distinguish between the attribute Spirit vs. a healing build, which involves more than just the one attribute.
In fact, I feel so strongly about this that I'm just going to start using the terms Malice and Spirit ubiquitously on the forums until the habit gets passed to around to other denizens.

What bothers me more is 'Expertise' and 'Concentration', I absolutely never use those terms and why would I when all they do is increase Condition Duration and Boon Duration, which is what I say when I talk about 'Expertise' and 'Concentration' - I do get it though, it's weird to have a piece of equipment increase Condition Duration by 200 or so.

Awaken from the dark dark slumberWintersun - Awaken from the dark slumber (Spring) - Part II The Awakening - Somethign that disturbs me by design personalyl too, I tried also somethign out, how peopel react on the german part of the forums, how they think about renaming old terms.It ended up in fact like a thought how it would - people just don't care, or when they care, then they are so protective over these old terms, jzst becasuse they are lazy and used to these terms now for nearly 5 years now, that their minds kind of woudl get irritated, if Anet would suddenly come up with renamigns of older terms, even when these renamed terms in fact woudl make much more sense and would be finalyl in line by design of all the othe terms, which are parameters of a characters values and not like in case with 'Condition Damage' just measure numbers, where you get as a player the impression, that the devs sem to have been too lazy for giving this attribute a proper term name, thats in line with all the others conceptually, because we also don#t call Power instead 'Physical Damage', no, we call Power, just Power because it just fits better, because its a common used and known parameter for how much strength our character can put into its attacks, which decides over it, how much damage we can deal
However, I don't agree with the term 'malice'.. malice doesn#t fit to heroic character,s which is why I think it made sense, that anet removed this term and it kind of disturbs me also ,that they basically reused it as term now for the deadeye as a gameplay mechanic term, which on the othe hand is again a strong reason for why condition damage should be named malice, as logn theres the deadye mechanic with the same term in use.Healing Power just shouldn't exist at all as individual Attribute. It woudl be best, if just the effect of healing power - to increase the effectiveness from your Healing Skill and that to heal others with your skilsl that can heal others, or cause Regeneration, that heals others as well too, should be merged into Vitality as its secondary effect
Vitality in itself aloen is useless, Healign power aloen it itself is useles,s but merged together as the Dual Effect Attribute Vitality, it is much more useful and build definign, due to its bigger impact of beign now two effects in 1 attribute.
If All Attributes woudl work thsi way finally, Anet could much simpler balance this game and make better sure, that offense and defense become finally more equal, as such a system allows Anet to add soem missing defensive effects that would help dramaticalyl in balancign this game, like an Endurance Regen Increase Effect, I know, that you want to have in teh game same as much as me -me, because I know how much it woudl help in rebalancing obsolete boon effetcs to the point, that they even could be completely removed and perhaps replaced with new and more useful boons, whiel the removed boons just get recycled into improved Attribute Mechanics, Traits, Skilsl Effect,s or Upgrade Effetcs instead, where they'd make more sense to be there in the game.Cassandra Lancaster - Achievement Hunter - 28,9k AP currently - Server: Drakkar Lake/EU - Mastery Rank of 254
I'm the proud Origin of the Elite Specializations Concept (Sub Classes) through the last made CDI Project. - Problem with that is those terms are either actively used or part of defunct systemsMalice is used for Deadeye and Compassion was previously used for the Flavor Emotion System.

The problem with your assertion is that 'malice' is in fact much clearer and to the point than 'condition damage' once you know what it does because it's a specific term that references a specific game mechanic, which isn't exactly tricky to figure out if you spend any length of time whatsoever playing the game. It's also silly to have to type out or say 'condi damage' to refer to the attribute that increases condition damage. In some cases you actually have to specify 'the condition damage attribute' which is even more kitten.Their original decision to replace specific names for attributes with generic names was misguided and should have never happened.

For people who aren't experienced with the game, 'condition damage' is no clearer than 'malice', and for those experienced with the game, the former is less clear since it can be used in different ways based on context and doesn't necessarily only refer to an attribute. it's actually incredibly dumb to not have a short hand way to refer specifically to the attribute that everyone automatically understands and interprets in the same way, or can look it up easily if they aren't familiar with it. It just complicates discussion in addition to lacking the pizzazz that helps build immersion.What a bunch of silly arguments. Why don't we go ahead and go change 'Power' to 'base attack bonus', and toughness to 'base defense bonus' just to ensure discussion around those attributes is as complicated and unflavorful as possible.The right idea is not always the popular one, I suppose.
- Inference, context and translatability are all key things to keep in mind when coming up with words in a relatively fast-paced game. A word that describes a stat needs to be quickly understood at a glance.Toughness was brought up, so let's use that as an example:
What does it infer? The ability to take less damage.
What is it's context? We already have a 'Health' stat, so therefore it must have something to do with Armor.
It can also be easily translated into various languages, and it can be described in only a few words.Now, Malice:
What does it infer? Anger.
What is it's context? Uhmm. Social NPC interactions? Or wait, maybe it's the new Deadeye mechanic? Hold on, isn't there an item called Malice?Do you see? We're already way off the mark of what it's supposed to mean! Far be it for me to argue for a 'double-plus-good' naming convention, as I am of the belief that flavor is the spice of gaming.. Perhaps, 'malice' may be replaced with a different word that has better inference and context. For the time being, 'Condition Damage' is sufficient, however, I agree that over time, A.net should replace it with a far more flavorful descriptor that fits their guidelines.As an aside, here's an anecdotal example: I played WildStar at the time of it's launch. It had a multitude of uncommon words for it's stats. One of which was, 'Moxie'. I only remember that stat purely because every time it came up, I had to wiki it to remember what in the world it did! To this day, I still only vaguely remember it had something to do with 'Criticals'. - edited October 25, 2017@Verenhimo.3296 said:Also barely anyone I've run into bluntly calls things 'a condition damage build' it's always come with the armor prefix as the descriptive term, which tells far more about what you're trying to say than just bluntly saying 'condi damage' which could refer to 4 common types of gear, all serving different purposes.^ Still thisIf I'm referencing a build for Raids/fractals I will use the prefix if there are multiple variants to the build:Example of builds that need clarification:
- Healer Druid: Magi, Minstrel, Harrier
- Chrono: Minstrel, Commander
Example of builds that don't need clarification:- Condi Druid: only 1 'meta' variant
- Condi Renegade: only 1 'meta' variant
So no, changing the terms Healing Power back to Compassion (or your proposed Spirit) and Condition damage back to Malice? That's rather pointless as they are not used as a point of reference as much as the prefix is. As in if someone asks me what they need to run a condi build I'm not gonna tell them to stock up on Malice or whatever. Instead I'm gonna mention things like Sinisters, Vipers, Dire, etc because that is more of a specific statement than just saying they need a certain stat.In regards to talking to non-gw2 players. Still easier to use terms like Condition damage and healing power as to them Malice and Compassion could mean something entirely different. At worst, I use the term DOTs when refering to conditions. In regards to gw2-players. Well, it doesn't really get anymore blunt that it is right now. If I need to add more damage to my conditions..well..I stack Condition damage. I need to add more power to my healing?..I grab healing power.
