Guild Wars 2

Hi! Im currently running an condition damage build on my ele, as stated above. So far i have managed to get my CD number to 1400, raising to 1600 with corruption sigil, not calculating might.
So by numbers, that means, i’m ticking for 122 bleed, and 828 for burnning.
More numbers, on average i’m doing about rougly 2,250 damage per second from conditions only( assuming i only have 12 stacks of bleed from 2x eruption, i cab easly gain much more stacks from more eruptions and earth skills) not counting the raw damage. On average im doing about 500 damage with eruption, 400 with lava font, and ~ 600 with each MS hit. So that mean… A minimum of ~ 2,650 damage per second from small bleed stacking and average lowest hit.
If calculating highest hit, it can go up to 3,600 damage per second( with extra might, 600 raw damage and 18 stacks of bleeding, 3x eruption)

I’m wondering if can the 0/10/0/30/30 build out damage these numbers? Can it be more effective? Assuming I also gain some decent toughness and vitality numbers. Dont have my pc currently so i cant actuay provide more exact numbers, but im in a concern wether i should drop the Condition based bias on e and for all and move on.

a couple of question before answering your:

1) is this a PvE, WvW or PvP build?

2) if I’m correct those dmg assume that u’r permanenty in earth attunament (based on the fact that you’r stacking bleeding with a 6 second CD skill) so how do you plan to apply burning in a reliable way? (also u talk about building more bleeding with other earth skill but the only other earth skill for staff that apply bleed is the 5 that apply a single stack with a long CD).

aside form those question there is still a standard concern that u should think about:

Condition dmg is good as long as:
a) your opponent doesn’t cleanse him self (that make Cond build fantastic for PvE)
b) you’r not engaged in a fight with other ally that also use bleeding as primary damage source (due to the 25 stack cap for target)
c) you’r aiming for a victory over time rather than bursting down your opponent

the lasto point is probably the one that has to be taken into consideration more than any other… condition build generate more dmg than direct dmg build… over a moderate amount of time… but over a short amount of time (a few seconds) direct dmg build can generate impressive burst capable of shutting down your opponent before he has the time to react… this is the main advantage od direct dmg build… u don’t give your opponent time to act… while with a condition build even in the best case scenario your opponent will still have several second to cleanse him self, pop up defensive CD try to disengage, look for help… al obviously if we’r talking about a human opponent… as said before if this build is aimed for PvE than the only concern you may have is that u must be sure to be the only one running a condition damage in your party (otherwise your bleed dmg and your other party members bleed dmg will overwrite and you both will lose part of the dmg resulting in a total dmg reduction compare to that generated by pure direct damage build…)

I’m hitting 4000-4700 with each lightning autoattack, and they cast roughly in 1 second.

so you’re severely outdamaged (even more in DE’s / when other people in dungeons also run cdmg builds)

Primarly pve. Im not focused on earth only.
At Razor, what is your build/spec? Im aiming for a balanced build that will also provide decent healt and armor. Am not interested in going. Erserker.
