Is there a limit to increased condition duration?
Right now with rare veggie pizza my scepter bleeds has 128% duration increase.
Is the limit 100%?

The cap for condition duration is 100% or 133% with the increased sceptre durations.

Also I use Scepter/dagger and Staff.
Will I need to invest more into Vitality or Toughness? With a condition/well build
I use Well of Suffering & Corruption but I use them in Range.
I keep my power around 1600.

Either one is good, Toughness reduces the amount of damage you take making it easier to heal up while Vitality increases your health and maximum Life Force allowing you to take more damage both in and out of Death Shroud.

Toughness has the downside of not affecting Conditions while Vitality has the downside of not reducing damage (Makes it a lot harder to heal up)

Ideally, going for a mix of both would be best, increasing your health and reducing damage you take.

That said, if you’re choosing between Rabid and Carrion gear, your set up would benefit more from Carrion (As the Power would boost the damage from Wells) than from the precision on Rabid (Crits + Barbed Precision minor trait = More bleeds)

I recommend Toughness because we already have high Vitality as a class, and so you see a greater return on effective health investing into Toughness. There also isn’t really a +Vit armor set that benefits condition builds without boosting a wasted stat (Carrion is Pow/CndDmg/Vit, but you’re really not using the Power). I recommend Rabid armor 9 times out of 10 for condition builds, and this also benefits us further through Undead runes. I don’t think your build is really suited for running wells; you’d be better served by things like Epidemic.

Also, DS benefits from both Vitality and Toughness, so I wouldn’t worry too much there.
