Some I’m wondering if I should use runes of the orrian, or bleed durtion runes. Orian gives me 175 condi damage, 15% poison duration, 5% chance to poison enemies on hit, and 5 seconds of haste at 20% health (godly imo). However a good chunk, if not ost of my damage come from bleeds, so was wondering if it would be better to get 75 stats and 30% bleed duration + 10% condition duration instead. Worse stats, no haste though.

What what you guys run? What other runes do you like? Thanks

I either run rune of the undead. or (im currently using) 3 different rune sets but 2 from each which increases bleed duration. I lose some condition damage but can stack my bleeds higher. imo the bleed duration runes are better but im toying with the idea if nightmare runes for the chance to cause fear on hit. as I run a terror build I can see them being effective

Depends on what you run with traits/gear

Generally undead for pvp if you run rabid(toughness/precision/condition)
And If you are just going for max bleed damage over time you go bleed duration.

Depends on what you are aiming for. Bleed duration is for damage it may look like you lost some damage on each single tick but if you can get 100% duration that would make you barbed precision hit twice. So keeping a huge stack of bleeds is possible w/o doing idioticly long combos where your precious 25 bleeds last for a whooping 2 seconds and then for the next minute you struggle to maintain 10.
But for faster damage and something that isn’t entirely condition or more beffy condition other options are just as valid.
