Just wondering if the various conditions are treated as physical damage while they are applied to a target?

Nope, there's nothing that will enhance the effect of a condition; skills will either spread it, remove it, draw it or deal it.

as darcy said conditions are considered degen and all degen are armor ignoring for obv reasons, and armor ignoring cannot be bugged or nerfed.

Or make them last longer/shorter, but this.

Weapon mods and runes/insignia's can have an effect on the duration of a condition, as is stated in the description of various mods/runes/insignia's.

The condition isn't a source of physical damage, but the way it is applied may be. For instance, a Ranger using a Vampiric bow and Apply Poison will do physical damage with an arrow strike, and cause poison. The poison is not physical damage, but the source of it is. However, a Necro using Enfeelble followed by Virulence would also supply poison (as well as weakness and disease), but not deal any damage at all, much less physical damage.

So if I understand the question, it isn't the condition that matters, but how it is applied.

Reading that made me think back to the costume brawl. Burning, insted of doing the normal -8 health regen or how many arrows there are, it gave me
+8 health regen insted. So i wondered about gaining so much health from a single team of eles.
