Guild Wars 2

So I recently went a bleed spec. Went D/D and D/P for my weapon sets. I feel it does not do as much damage as my direct damage set. Both sets of gear had full exotics. The bleeds only tick for about 116 but start ticking really really fast. But when I get can like 4k auto attacks alone on my direct damage, I just don’t see how bleeds beats that damage wise.
Would help if re had a damage meter or a target dummy. (For the purpose of helping me, not being a dick.)
The bleed spec was really fun, I did it of two ways, death blossomed or CnD for a sneak attack constantly.
Even comparing bleeds to my short bow auto attack, it seems the short bow wins.
What do yall think?

DD spec is better dps for sure but what bleeds let you do is use stealth to the fullest. You can apply constant ranged pressure while remaining in stealth if you want. The decision to leave stealth early and increase pressure or remain in it and heal and allow CD’s to come back up is the sort of stuff you do while doing the P/D stealth dance.

The main advantage of P/D and bleeds in general is allowing you to take on many bad players and glass cannons at once and win, given enough time. It’s really fun. 1 on 1 vs good players and bunkers is still fun too but it will take a long time to kill them.
