Guild Wars 2

I came across a spreadsheet that had the weapon DPS of the auto attack for each of the warrior weapons. I did not create this, but would like to share it if you all haven’t seen it yet! Credit goes to Speedracer00z of reddit:

Nice find. Thanks for sharing!

The problem is this is very misleading when you look at bleed damage compared to raw base damage of autoattack. Bleed damage is phenomenal when you have no gear and are comparing weapons. However, the scaling of bleed damage as a percentage of total damage becomes MUCH lower in practice when you hit 80 and become geared (especially when you can slot % crit damage to +condition damage in item budget).

Sadly in PvE with others players around, bleed stack limit of 25 really puts a hamper on the theoretical upper damage range for both sword and rifle. At 80, I’ve seen (and done the math) with my own bleed damage in which it only added ~3% to some fights of my total base sword autoattack damage because bleeds keeps getting wiped off the champion mob.
