Guild Wars 2

Greetings,

i want to optimize my current Condi Minionmasterbuld. I’ve crafted full ascented viper weapons (Staff/scepter/Focus/GS) and amor. Trinkets also all viper.

Actually im running 6 Runes of the Afflicted. I’m thinking about changing them into 6 Krait or 2 Trapper together with 4 Nigthmare runes. My main condi dps is bleeding together with poison from the Nova of my dying minions.

So my question is wich runesetup will be the best for me?

You can use Krait runes if you don’t want to use Food and Nourishment to cap bleeding or Thorns runes if you want to cap poison and bleeding duration with them.

If you are using minions, you are not maximizing condition dps but there is nothing wrong with that. Death Nova proc’s poison fields so Thorns is better, imo. Make sure you use sigils with food and utility consumables to cap your bleeds, though.

I am guessing you are traiting Death Magic, Blood Magic, and Reaper toward minions, sceptre, and chill-bleeds. Keep that focus on condi dps but be forewarned that minions are not always appropriate or appreciated so be ready to swap utilities as the situation calls for.

You’ll get more bleeds if you use Reaper runes with the Augury of Death trait. Spamming shouts is fun! When I use that setup I bring 4 shouts and Flesh Golem. Just using Suffer will put 6 stacks in a radius, plus 3 from each other shout. And that’s before you even get down and dirty with your weapon skills.

You will have to use at least one consumable to get 100% bleeds though.

u can cap bleeds/chills at 97.2% with sigil of malice and 2xtrapper/4xnightmare runes without food.
taking berserker runes with rare veggie pizza it will give u 92.2% chill/bleeds.
