[[Torment]] is a [[condition]] that inflicts [[damage]] over time and [[Effect stacking|stacks]] in intensity. If the victim isn't moving, they take more damage than they would while moving. [[Character]]s 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):'''
:<code>(0.06 * [[Condition Damage]]) + (0.25 * Level) + 2</code> damage per stack per second,
:<code>(0.06 * [[Condition Damage]]) + 22</code> damage per stack per second at level 80.

'''While moving (WvW and sPvP):'''
:<code>(0.054 * [[Condition Damage]]) + (0.23 * Level) + 1.4</code> damage per stack per second.

'''While stationary (PvE only):'''
:<code>(0.09 * [[Condition Damage]]) + (0.36 * Level) + 3</code> damage per stack per second,
:<code>(0.09 * [[Condition Damage]]) + 31.8</code> damage per stack per second at level 80.

'''While stationary (WvW and sPvP):'''
:<code>(0.07 * [[Condition Damage]]) + (0.29 * Level) + 2.8</code> damage per stack per second.

== Notes ==
* Synergy with [[immobile]] and [[control effect]]s, since they suppress movement of the the victim.
* "Moving" includes running (or walking), strafing, or backpedalling (default key binds {{key|W}}, {{key|Q}}, {{key|E}}, and {{key|S}} respectively). Rotation (default key binds {{key|A}} and {{key|D}}) does not count as moving.

{{Version history table row|2017-08-09|08/08/2017 – Late Notes}}
* Base damage has been increased to match bleed's base damage; movement damage has been reduced to compensate for this.
** This change only applies to PvE.
{{Version history table row|2015-06-23|Condition Updates}}
* All damage conditions will now stack up to 1500 times.
* The formula for this condition has been rescaled to account for the new behavior of damaging conditions and to put more focus on the condition damage stat.
* New damage over time: <code>1.5 + (0.18 * Level) + (0.045 * Condition Damage)</code>
* New damage while moving: <code>3 + (0.36 * Level) + (0.09 * Condition Damage)</code>
{{Version history table row|2013-10-15|Profession Skills}}
