Guild Wars 2

After some testing, it has come to my attention that the Master Tier in Curses is not very good for Reaper.
Terror: Terror does not work well, because it requires Fear of Death to be noticeable. However, Reaper grants a much more useful shroud for condition builds, so Vital Persistence is essential. This means that Reaper fears will be small, 1 second fears, and 1 tick of terror is hardly noticeable when compared to a few burn stacks.
Path of Corruption: This skill ought to be the trait of choice for a Reaper, because it can net 2 boons corrupted every 5 seconds; however, with the way Reaper Shroud #2 works, it requires the Reaper to be spinning in the face of the enemy until the very end of the skill, which gives the opponents ample time to do something like teleport, stun, or dodge.
Master of Corruption: Could this really be the best trait for a reaper in this tier? I have not tested this, but I’m aware that Corruption skills are just average skills with annoying drawbacks. However, a 10s cooldown reduction on Consume Conditions is probably better than a small Fear buff or an unreliable boon corruption.

Because I want Necromancer to improve, I will leave some suggestions that may make this trait Tier work better.
Terror: Merge the two effects of Fear of Death into two different traits. Add the Fear duration boost to Terror, and add the Fear on down to Reaper’s Protection. Besides, what kind of Necromancer fears death?
Path of Corruption: Make the final hit of Reaper Shroud #2 activate as soon as it hits the foe. This would make the skill much smoother for use of PoC and Chilling Darkness.
Master of Corruption: Make Corruption skills stronger, and remove Blind and Weakness from the pool of conditions that Corruption skills self-apply.

Yeah I think master of corruption is the best in that slot, but most high level necros that are reviving condi necro are dropping curses altogether for spite, for signets, chill of death, and bitter chill, and it feels a kitteneesier and works better with carrion in particular, but it still feels odd to run condi without curses.

Ik the feeling, wehn i roll full condi necro cant get away from rolling Spite/Curses/Blood Magic, just doesnt feel right to roll anything else unless im switching to dhuumfire Reaper and plowing through PvE content :P
