Guild Wars 2

Hi,

wanted to share this build i came up with hypothetically for Leveling & PvE mainly and maybe PvP,
Basically it involves condition dmg with fire and bleed with both LB and S/S.
my build link: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIIQNAscTlgO6sX7Q5BT0Ax5RSWC5VKmTbSKEjZA;TEBg1yqEUJpSVliKqnMPJey+k7J5TLOGZc44xxkDA

Traits: 0 30 0 20 20

My utilities were mostly meant for kiting. Theoretically, with S/S, you will be stab dodging and deal as much damage as possible then kite untill you are able to dodge again then go back and rinse fight. If there’s a bunch of mobs, use LB for AoE dmg, melting them down. My main focus should be using LB.

Is my built do-able? Is condition damage reliable? Anything else that could help with LB dps?

Try using Rabid gear in pve and the amulet/jewel in pvp 30 in arms getting the 50% longer bleeds +10 crit with sword, I think theres also some LB related traits.
in the swords take sigil of earth and agony thatll make your bleeds hit at 60% longer. which is another tick, or 2. i personally have done 10 in strength that adds another 10% condition duration then 30 in defense. using 1 shout and 2 stances.
with fire condition damage the duration being longer really helps in spvp i thnk the max damage per tick is like 600, thats equivelent to about 6 stacks of bleeds.
Also in Spvp since rabid amulet will make you tanky try putting 15 into disc at least, fast hands will be needed to keep both burning and bleeds up, otherwise youll never overwhelm someones condition removals/heals.

That build is what i’d do in Spvp, its total of 85% longer bleeds and 40% longer burns, the trait i selected in strength really makes mending a great condition cleaner can remove up to 6 different conditions, gives you time to run away.

in PvE use 6/6 superior mad king runes, as they will give 10% all condition durations, 15% bleeds and 165 power rather then the broken up ones i have here.

that sounds like a pretty solid build for PvE and maybe even in WvW for the AoE damage.

but as for sPvP……. dont even bother….. LB is COMPLETELY useless in sPvP, providing only short amounts of decent condition with almost no direct damage, and after the sword nerf in the betas playing sword/bleed warrior specs has become incredibly subpar, the direct damage once again is close to non existent and since youre only applying bleeds (doesnt matter how fast) its incredibly easy for the majority of classes to simply drop it.

so PvE and WvW, sounds good. but sPvP, not even close to viable.

The rifles attacks are adjusted for bleeds whereas the LB has no adjustment so it actually does apply more direct damage then the rifle. It just takes a different play style because you have to be close for the rounds to hit (they travel slower).

However, condition specd warriors are moot in SPvP since the up-time of multiple conditions is lacking.

Says bad link

To sum it up, the only weapon viable in pvp is GS. LB Condition build is great for PvE where mobs tend to gather up. The fire dmg eats them up pretty good.
