Weakness condition - Guild Wars Forums

ares416 · Aug 08, 2005, 05:39 AM // 05:39

For the love of God, will someone please explain clearly what the condition, "weakness" does to players? I've been searching on 3 different forums and even Google and have heard everything from, "it makes your target weak" to "it makes them do less damage". That's wonderful, but HOW MUCH less damage? Is it like 1%, 20%, 50%? I can't believe I'm having such a hard time finding this condition explained. Is it somewhere that's so obvious I missed it?

-Thanks

50% base damage reduction on weapon swings

Most of the actual numbers were only recently revealed to us by the devs, but no fansite ever updated their official pages

Thank you! I should have put more exclamation marks as I was about to pull my hair out looking for this description!!!

This seems like a decent condition then, I was looking at the necro spell, enfeebling blood to protect from swarms of warriors, whether on me or my teammate casters. That combined with something to slow their attacks to 50% could cut the dps down to 25% of total, as long as it lasts. I'll have to see if there is a spell to do that to a group.

Enfeebling Blood+Shadow of Fear are one of the answers most of the better guilds used to destroy warrior packs.
