Are conditions considered physical damage?

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.

Although I couldn't find anything about it on the wiki, I would say no. The wiki does state that physical damage is always from martial weapons.

Conditions and hexes are part of the health degen family, thus they ignore armor and buffs.

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

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.
