Guild Wars 2

Judging by the patch notes, we’re supposed to run something like this now.

Get one, Pin Down OP now.

6 bleed on one shot..gg, i was about to switch my condition build to pure damage build..

Lol’d.
No wait we’re supposed to run shout healing because now it “correctly” affects people in 600 radius.
They want a bunch of wammos running dual swords and bow apparently.

And killing people by dropping 4 banners on their heads.

Lol, I wouldn’t mind buying a Bolt now
The only reason I decided not to before was because it was utterly worthless even though it looked cool…
I guess I’ll still wait though and see how things work out…

Good thing I invested in a sexy bow skin

Haha don’t worry
I love the sword, but it has never been useful to me.. even in guild wars 2 T_T…
I always went Hammer for PvP, and Axe for PvE haha

Hammer is cool. If only #5 stunned for the 2s tooltip says instead of .5 second…

Whats so wrong with sword bleed builds?

Couple other professions applying them twice as fast and twice as much.

From twice as far away on twice as many enemies at a time

The problem with Sword bleed builds is that players decide not to utilize any power gear (or gear with even condition + power spreads).

They tend to stick with Rabid.

The fundamental issue, in retrospect, is that Carrion has Vit, and there is no Condition Damage + Power + Toughness gear.

Rampager is a “meh” alternative (0 defensive stats), also precision-focused. The sPvP version of Rampager has exceptionally low condition damage as well.

TLDR: Sword builds are nice with condition + power. But gear doesn’t support condition + power very well.

Best to go crit build and splash conditions. I like the TA warrior armor. Lots of condition damage. Duel axe with a bleed sigil on crit or sword axe with a secondary GS. I can hold 12 stacks and still deal high DPS.

I miss deep wound. If they added that as a warrior-only condition and had it attached to sword it could lead to condition warriors being viable.
