Condition

Effects currently present on the character are indicated by their status icons:

• Boons appear in the top row
• Conditions – bottom row
• Other effects – middle row

Conditions are temporary negative effects that provide damage and control over time in one second intervals, playing a major role in combat. Player characters primarily inflict conditions through use of skills and traits as well as certain equipment like relics and sigils. Certain conditions may be more common to some professions than others, characterizing their playstyles and thematic roles. Conditions can also be inflicted by attacks from NPC foes, through environmental effects, and other mechanics. Condition damage is separate from strike damage and ignores the attributes Armor and Toughness as well as the effects that reduce strike damage, such as Protection.

Damage inflicted by conditions is increased by the attribute Condition Damage and duration – by Condition Duration, derived from the attribute Expertise. All these attributes can be increased by skills, traits, equipment through its attribute combinations, and bonuses from upgrade components. Conditions can be stacked by re-applying them: conditions with control effects like Crippled stack in duration while damaging conditions like Bleeding stack in intensity. Most non-damaging conditions have a maximum duration of 10 seconds (see duration stacking effects). Damaging conditions stack up to 1500 times and vulnerability up to 25 times (see intensity stacking effects).

Incoming conditions are primarily counteracted by condition removal, available in skills, traits, sigils, and relics. Some abilities instead convert conditions on allies into boons, and vice versa – on enemies. A number of skills as well as the boon Resolution reduce all incoming condition damage, while certain runes provide condition damage reduction both in general and from specific conditions. Control effects from conditions are temporarily negated by the boon Resistance. Independently, incoming condition duration can be decreased by some traits, runes, and consumable food items.

In the user interface, conditions are displayed via red-colored icons that appear to the right of the health orb, on the bottom row of active effects. The white outline surrounding the icon indicates the time left before the condition expires. Hovering the mouse cursor on the condition's icon will also show a tooltip with the remaining time. A flashing icon indicates that the condition will expire within 5 seconds.

Some effects are considered conditions for some game mechanics so they can be removed with condition removal effects, but are not available in any profession or race skill sets, and cannot be converted into boons. Here are some examples of such conditions:

•  Dwayna's Lament
•  Burning Pitch
•  Mysterious Plague
•  Poisoned
•  Rend
•  Wounded

Mechanics

Damage

For damaging conditions that have a non-integer duration (eg. 3.5 seconds), the full seconds of the damage apply as normal, and the fraction of a second will apply the same fraction of damage. For example, if Bleeding is applied for 3.5 seconds at 22 condition damage per second, it will apply 3 ticks of 22 damage over the first 3 seconds, followed by 1 tick of 11 damage as the condition ends.

Duration

If the duration is not round to a second, any remaining fractional seconds will be inflicted either at the beginning or end of the duration. In skill tooltips, the duration of conditions is rounded to the nearest quarter of a second, but the actual duration is still precise. Condition duration bonuses obtained from runes are not shown on skill tooltips, but still provide their effect.

Condition removal and conversion

A condition is removed independent of its intensity, so 3 stacks and 100 stacks of Bleeding are equivalent when considering condition removal. For generic condition removal, the most recently applied condition or conditions will be removed first. Conditions dealt by converting enemies' boons will always have a fixed duration, regardless of the duration and intensity of the original boon. The same behavior is applied to boons obtained by converting conditions.
