Guild Wars 2

I have limited Black Diamonds for Viper gear. What profession do you think would be best served using it? My first thought was necro; lots of short conditions, including non-damage ones benefiting from the duration increase. Useful as core Necro or Reaper if I choose.

I assume you’re referring to Viper’s stat gear rather than Sinister, since you mention Black Diamonds and Condition Duration.

Currently, Power Necromancer/Reaper is better than Conditions, but its not so awful that you can’t run it. Its down to preference, so put it on Necromancer if you want.

For Raids, Viper’s Warriors and Engineers are in demand, the Raid-runners can’t get enough of them, so consider giving one of those two professions a set of it.

OK thanks. Yes, Viper’s I meant. Raids is a consideration but also more generally, PVE from a conditions enhancement POV.

I like doing the higher tier fractals with a mixed set of viper/sinister on my engineer, it’s pretty fun. Not really all that interested in raids, so I can’t comment on that. For general PvE it’s pretty nice though.
