My question here is fairly simple. I’ve been using a condition damage build with sword/dagger, and shortbow. If I switched gear and traits into a more power build, would the sword/x and shortbow be better or worse?
I guess I’m asking does a sword/x and shortbow need condition damage or will they still be useful with power/prec stats instead?

Shortbow and Sword can work with either build, so no issues there.
For power:
- Dagger is providing you with anti-healing (poison), supplemental damage (low poison and bleeding damage), and control (cripple)
- Torch is providing you with supplemental damage (burning) and a fire field for applying more of that
- OH Axe is providing you anti-projectile and solid direct damage
- Horn is going to provide you with more mobility (swiftness), improve your damage (fury + might), and give you a single solid direct damage attack.
All can work. It just depends on what you want from your offhand.

Thanks for the responses. I messed around in the mists some with it and just wasn’t really sure what other people’s opinions on it were. I’ll give it a shot.

They will work much better with power/prec instead of condition, higher dps and also better for groups in general, plus it won’t take you a year to break objects/siegeweapons for when/if you need to do that.
Interesting. What about Rampagers? Or would I just be better going for berserker and calling it a day?
