So, I wanted to try a Might stacking build that focuses around dodging and such but I’m torn between 2 different builds as I don’t know which one would be the most effective.

D/D (Sigil of Strength/Sigil of Accuracy) and SB (Sigil of Energy)
2x Monk
2x Water
2x Strength

Bowl of Orrian truffle and meat stew + Tuning Crystal as consumables

Mixture of Rabid and Rampager gear and gems, focusing on using Condition Damage from Caltrops, Death Blossom and Call Owl.

Bowl of Orrian truffle and meat stew + Sharpening Stone as consumables

Mixture of Berserker and Knight gear and gems, focusing on high power/crit/crit damage and leveraging auto attacks (Quickness procs, high mobility and fury uptime)

I’m not sure which one would be best, I’d assume Might favours Condition builds (Due to buffing both Condition Damage and the initial hit when applying the conditions) but Condition Builds tend to suffer from cleansing in PvP/WvW and Bleed caps in PvE (I can easily hit 25 bleeds on my own using Call Owl or a stolen Coral Shard)

But on the flip side, as a condition build, using Death Blossom a lot I will be evading a large portion of attack against me (Death Blossom evades and Dodge evades).

For D/D Bleed builds I really like a 0/20/0/20/30 build using Signet of Malice, Signet Use and Hastened Replenishment. This gives you a bunch of Initiative regen and Might on Dodge and Signet trigger. Dodge also drops Caltrops so you will basically be either Deathblossom’n or Dodge’n. I’d run carrion gear all the way with Condition Duration or Bleed Duration increasing Runes. Super Veggie Pizza or similar is great for DB Bleeds.
