Guild Wars 2

I imagine others are running something similar to this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNAQNAV8YjEqUzaBLusw1aABhaVA0uGShl1d+eDfdBrSA-TpRAwAAeAAUuAAdOCAlLD45gA0b/BA

I would like to discuss it.

I have been running around in spvp the last few days with this with great success. While it is not the best all out bleed build available I feel the defenses it offers makes for some very active play.

The synergy between SotF and bark skin is awesome (backed by 1900 toughness as well)

Krait runes with 1400 condi dmg are pretty swell

I love martial mastery with s/d. Combined with bow, you can kite like a bawss with this build all the while bleeding them out.

You won’t soar to 25 stacks of bleed but you will consistently have 10-15 up and they do a lot of dmg. There are many options available to keep poison up the majority of a fight not allowing your opponent to recover.

I feel bark skin also allows for you to get away with running a glass pet w/o investing in the BM line hence the raven.

If you find yourself facing a lot of condi pressure in a game. Just swap bark skin for EB and run a drake.

Thoughts?

I know some people are all for a/d s/t set ups but I love bows (yeah I’m one of those) and martial mastery with sword is lol fun. Hornet sting is basically a 4 sec cd by the time you get done with both leaps.

I hope others are having as much fun as I am with similar set ups

I run a super similar build, but no krait runes rather runes of the Undead. I swap out signet of the hunt for muddy terrain for an extra control + condi removal tool, martial mastery for off hand training as I prefer torch since it’s very strong in pvp. Rampage as One or Entangle is something I haven’t decided which is most convenient. Sometimes RaO is better if you’re facing off a lot of warriors and guardiants… etc. But sometimes Entangle rocks better, since it’s also going to provide with condi removal + control + bleeds.

Eitherways it’s a good setup mate.
