- Infused Angry Earth Coating – 15% Angry Earth Damage
- Infused Angry Earth Ward – take 10% less damage from Angry Earth enemies
- Powerful Honing Stone – 7% Empower
- Desert Sunrise – reduce duration of incoming DoTs by 25%

How to Play
- Tondo
- Flurry
- Tondo
- Flourish and Finish
Abilities are the primary source of your damage, so only light attack between abilities if they are all on cooldown.
If you have enough Evade Rapiers on your team, you don’t need to use Tondo, and can use the Evade ability instead, because you will be ‘popping’ their bleeds from Flurry as well as your own.
Empower details
| Keenly Empowered | 13% |
| Honing Stone | 7% |
| Leadership (team) | 10% |
| Oblivion | 15% |
| Tether | 20% |
| Total | 65% |
Empower is capped at 50%, but having more than 50% can help you manage to stay at cap at all times. To know where your current Empower total stands, check out the Empower Calculator.
Hive of Gorgons Tips
A Bleed Rapier build is mostly used in a team setting where you have other Evade Rapiers already on your team, because Flourish and Finish can consume other ally rapiers bleeds on enemies as well.
