I’ve been at it for weeks. The viable one I have made includes conditions and I have to run viper gear. However, I would like to eliminate the condition damage. I can kill just about any build pretty quick with this build unless they have resistance or a quick way for putting distance between me and them, but I still don’t like the condition damage aspect of it too much. Plus, if I get locked down I go down easily. Does anyone have any build they’d like to share or any tips? Thanks.

I am running this build for a few months now and experimented with different variations. The result is as viable as Power Reaper can get. Tons of synergies: incredible Lifeforce generation, insane boon corrupt capability, good condi clear, multiple stability sources, frequent weakness application.

The WvW Version sacrifices AOE damage / CC via GS but has huge burst potencial to counter other burst builds like thieves and also added strong ranged pressue because everyone will try to kite you.

Greatsword Spite/Blood (zerker/valk gear) is super viable in most PvE… Actually outshines condition in open world, most world bosses, old-world dungeons, and lower tier fractals (although they supposedly adjusted the toughness/hp scaling across fractals, so not too sure since I’ve only played condi since the change.)

I’m pretty sure Condi is still better in high tier fractals, as it doesn’t suffer much DPS loss when forced to attack from range. Power builds against lots of melee hate have to fall back on axe, or drop reaper altogether.

I’ve been working on an ascended viper’s set…but it’s tedious.

Those armadillos would be a lot cooler if they looked more like real armadillos. mmm armadillos

Life blast is underrated, especially in areas where reflects are rare.
