Guild Wars 2

like the post says, was wondering if crit or condition damage would be more useful on a rifle. if it helps, right now i have ~2k power/precision, ~300 cond dmg because i have basically a 0% contribution on all my gear, and ~60% and 30% crit chance/dmg, and the rifle i plan to buy would have about 1k damage and a toss up between 9% crit dmg or ~120 condition dmg.

I’d go with crit damage. Sure, the 1 skill has bleeds but all the others are direct damage. So you are increasing damage on more skills with crits.

Power, Precision and Critical Damage.

Always.

Conditions are a “nice bonus”, not something to build around when it comes to Warrior weapons.

Crit, definitely crit!

Unless you’ve got a sword main hand for your secondary, then go condition so both sets can do substantial damage. Otherwise stick to crit cause every warrior weapon could use it but only sword and rifle can actually utilize condition effectively.

And if this is for s/tPvP then never consider condition for warrior, we don’t apply enough in any circumstance to combat half the classes condition removal abilities :P

thanks! was leaning towards crit dmg anyway, but it never hurts to consult before making a decision that, in my case, ended up costing a sizeable chunk of my gold.

If your still wanting to do bleed just find a sigil that gives a chance to bleed on crit. Then it doesn’t matter what skill you use.

Waste of a sigil if you’re not specced into bleed damage though, in my opinion.

Both sigil of fire and air will boost your dps a lot more then a sigil of earth will when not specced into conditions.
