Bam, spam that baselisk to cover your bleeds!

Although you do have to be close to the enemy to get this to work, so applying basilisk venom from range for your opener isn’t the best way to use the runes. But you can always do a CnD steal opener and apply it from stealth.

I’m wondering if the 6 piece bonus will “hit” the enemy and reveal you though. It doesn’t sound like it will since it’s only apply condis, but it depends how that thing is implemented.

Still no sure it will be better than perplexity or traveler runes though. The confusion can be much more powerful than a bit of extra bleed, torment, and poison, and the movement speed from traveler is just too necessary in WvW, unless you’re comfortable with sacrificing utility slots.

It doesn´t reveal you.

Withdraw+Balthazar is better

The bleed duration synergizes very well with P/D as it does otherwise have such a quite short bleed duration. With 2p (10p) Deadly Arts and sigil of agony you can boost it up from 4 to 7 seconds. As a cover the 6th bonus is quite nice apart from the fact that it applies conditions that you do already have easy access to.

Does the poison from the Krait runes proc Lotus Poison (weakness)?

Yeah just found that awesome rune on my thief. That is a perfect condi thief rune. Finally no more crap runes mix just to get some bleed duration.

About time.
