Guild Wars 2

Hi all, I am using a PVE HGH granade build with Shrapnel and Sharpshooter for some bleed damage. I have all Rabid gear and the utilities are 2 elixirs (for Might) plus Granade kit and elixir H for healing and Might.
I can’t decide if I will maximize damage better with bleed duration or might duration runes and food and sigil (bleed or might on crit). The might stacks really up those bleed numbers but I read on the necro forums that bleed duration is essential for bleed builds.
My tests on the golems were inconclusive. Any advice?

Same dilemma here

i suggest you got for might stacking if you are doing wvw as your target will often remove conditions dont forget Burn does damage equivalent to 6 stacks of bleed .

Bleed duration runes if you’re looking at PvE. You’ll hit 22 second bleeds and hit the bleed cap all by yourself. However, with that said, if you play with a group regularly that also has other players applying a good deal of bleeds, you might want to consider the might runes instead.

I will say this though – I’m not fond of stacking might via HGH. When you could be planting more conditions and damage, you’re spending 2-3 seconds chugging and tossing elixirs at often inopportune times, purely for might. The only elixir you’ll want to chug every chance is B (and maybe U, but don’t tell me you’re wanting to toss U every time it’s available, that’s a lie and we both know it), all the others are timed based on necessity, given we don’t have any damage elixirs (don’t bring up the god-awful trait, please).
