Guild Wars 2

My actual necro is geared with: Toughness, Precision, Condition DMG.

There are 3 set of runes i can use but i dont know wich one and why:

1 Set: 6x Crest of Rabid (120 cond, 84 prec, 84 tough)
2 Set: 6x Rune of the undead (183 cond, 50 tough, 5% tough to cond dmg around 90cond dmg)

3 Set (im using this atm):
2x Rune of lyssa – for 10% condition duration
2x Rune of the mad king – for the other 10% condition duration
2x Rune of the krait – for 15% more bleeding duration (since there isnt another set of runes to get 10% more duration on conditions)

Even tough im using the 3rd set, shoudnt it be worth to use the undead runes?
Is the difference between undead runes and the 3rd set almost the same in dmg ?
Well overall whats more usefull to increase dmg of conditions, condition dmg itself or increased condition duration?

comes down to what content your doing and what conditions your applying and how often your applying them.

For example if your hitting 25 stacks of bleeds and continually refreshing them with autoattacks that apply them then durations not going to do much, but if you apply stacks only occasionally then duration comes in more useful.

Also you have to keep in mind for condition duration that it only actually increases damage if it increases the duration by a second, half seconds go to waste.

There’s a good thread in the necro forum about this:

I run Power/Condition/Vitality will a full set of Superior Rune Of Undead. I end up with about 2K Power and 1.3K Condition Damage.

You can play around with your Trait Lines to get good condition durations or eat some food as well.
