Guild Wars 2

I run a Minion Master (MM) build in PVE and im debating between using the trait Mark of Evasion or Bloodthirst. Which of the two traits will provide more healing?

I like Mark of Evasion because it heals not only you but your minions/team as well. And if you time your dodges right you can have 6 seconds of regen every 10 seconds, for about 135 healing per second, its pretty good.

Bloodthirst would be better if all your minions were hitting a target consistently, and the extra health they leeched surpassed 81 hp per second. There is a good chance that BT is better in high uptime situations.

The extra siphon damage that Bloodthirst gives your minions is probably also better than the damage from the bleeds from Mark of Evasion.

Transfusion will.

The other option is Transfusion, since it’s a 3k+ heal to your minions when you use it.

Thanks for the comments.

I already run Transfusion (its great!) but still not sure if either Mark of Evasion or Bloodthirst is best as an additional source of healing.

Been testing Mark of Evasion and its kinda annoying with the 10 second cooldown and making me want to waste a dodge to try to get it and then no Mark. However it does allow me to maintain permanent regeneration (combined with staff Mark of Blood and a boon duration of 100% from traits, runes and food). Using sigils of energy on both weapon sets to recover my endurance on weapon swap.

However it is a lot of work and im not sure im getting much more heals than just sticking with the simpler Bloodthirst trait and exchange the sigils of energy with sigils of leeching.

Any more opinions?

I would generally prefer Mark of Evasion, because it heals your minions as well as you, and generally will be able to outdamage and outheal BT.
