Guild Wars 2

After about 2,000 coffers I finally received the Jade longbow skin I wanted. Now I use full zerk gear, and really aim for good precision. But I was wondering if it would be a better idea to get condition damage on my bow rather than the standard zerk stats. Reason being is that I only find myself using my longbow for its flame attacks, and stun. Then switch back to my GS for dps.

I also have 30% condition duration increase from 30 strength, and 250 condition damage from having arms at 25.

This is primarily for PvE. I know there are better sets to use rather than a longbow, but I just always loved the ranged aoe. What would be a good stat-set and rune to go with this bow?

Decided to go 128 power, 179 precision, and 128 condition with Superior Sigil of Fire.

LBow doesn’t have a stun… and you should really blast that fire field b4 swapping back out.

Since you’re immediately swapping off the weapon, the stats it has won’t have much impact on the burn because conditions and fields update to your current stats, not those from when you initiated them. The stats on just the weapon are also a small portion of your overall stats and will have a very small impact on the weapon performance if everything else remains the same.
