Deals damage every second. Deals additional damage to foes that aren't moving. Stacks intensity.

— In-game description

Torment is a condition that inflicts damage over time and stacks in intensity. If the victim isn't moving, they take more damage than they would while moving. Characters suffering from torment have black smoke on their legs (if applicable) and large red scratch marks around their lower body. The moving damage is higher in PvE than it is in WvW and sPvP. The damage dealt by torment is determined by the following formula:

While moving (PvE only):

(0.06 * Condition Damage) + (0.25 * Level) + 2 damage per stack per second,
(0.06 * Condition Damage) + 22 damage per stack per second at level 80.

While moving (WvW and sPvP):

(0.054 * Condition Damage) + 19.8 damage per stack per second.

While stationary (PvE only):

(0.09 * Condition Damage) + (0.36 * Level) + 3 damage per stack per second,
(0.09 * Condition Damage) + 31.8 damage per stack per second at level 80.

While stationary (WvW and sPvP):

(0.07 * Condition Damage) + 26 damage per stack per second at level 80.

Notes[edit]

  • Synergy with immobile and control effects, since they suppress movement of the the victim.
  • "Moving" includes running (or walking), strafing, or backpedalling (default key binds W, Q, E, and S respectively). Turning in place (default key binds A and D) does not count as moving.
