Guild Wars 2

I have been using aristocracy runes with sinister gear and I was wondering if the condition duration on nightmare runes is needed/better than might. I easily get 15 stacks of might with aristocracy runes before a fight(FT 4/BoB/Orbital x2/HT detonation) which is an extra 450 condition damage and the might duration from the runes makes it last a long time (I also run a 60% might stack on crit chance sigil).

People are also looking at berserker runes which gives 5% to condi and power which is 85 extra condi damage for 1700 as condi damage stat and I guess another 85 in power if you have 1700 power(prob have more power than 1700) + power from the rune.

I am thinking of going viper for gear and sinister for trinkets though I feel like I need rabid in there somewhere for fractals 50+? I’m just dying a little too much in the higher level fractals. Can I do higher level fractals in full glass cannon and just work on my mechanics better?

I would like to hear your opinions.

Thanks

According to the post on Death and Taxes, you’ll want to aim for full Viper gear with Runes of the Berserker.

viper with aristocracy or berserker runes will most likely be the new glass go-to if viper allows you to max out bleed and burn durations without needing to sacrifice runes and/or wrench nourishment (and even if its just runes).

aristocracy for pugging, when you cant depend on having 25 might all the time and need to provide at least some might to you team. berserker otherwise. nightmare + coral if viper gear doesnt let you max out bleed and burn durations, mixing in sinister to bring your durations down to only 100% exactly.

i havent looked at it much yet cuz gw2skills doesnt have the new stats up.
