Does the GS even apply bleed stacks? If it doesn’t then why build for condition dmg?

Originally, I went with the Exotic Crafted Zerker gear, and after being downed multiple times in dungeons (even thought I consider myself quite the good dodger) – I got fed up with it, and switched to a Knight Set. I lost about 30% Power and 30% Precision, and gained almost 80% Toughness over it. Probably the best thing I’ve switched thus far, and I’m currently much more happy with my group dungeon performance.

No, you should not gear for condition damage at all with the greatsword.

If you want maximum damage go for full zerker gear with ruby orbs, make sure you grab all the greatsword traits, and after that look for traits that give you a solid damage increase, you can also dump the rest in dis to get more crit damage.
