Hey,
With regards to a bleed build, I tend to run much the same as the “cookie cutter” build.. i think!
Traits are a little bit personal, but my general build is 5/30/25/10/0. This may be a little unorthodox, but I find that the Opening Strikes I get helps out at the start of the fight, especially if my QZ is up.
Also, to justify the 10 points in Nature Magic, 5 points gets Regeneration and then the 10 points will increase the regeneration duration
I think this aids with my survivability. I think I have around 18k hp with Runes of the Nightmare and Sigils of Earth on the Shortbow along with Accuracy on my Sword/Warhorn.
Generally, I run with with QZ, Muddy Terrain and Sharpening Stones. I’ve played around with changing Sharpening Stones out, but I feel they offer too much of a damage increase.
I’ve attempted to run with extra bleed pets such as the lashtail devourer, but I feel that dual spiders with immobilize seriously aids in the length of time I can live! Also, I feel that these two immobilizes aid in getting behind my opponent and flanking them – I feel positioning is much more valuable than a few extra bleeds from a pet.
I hope this has helped
