How relevent is this gear?
condi-terrormancer fell out of use when they changed traits to specializations.
Dire can still be used as a cheaper less effective version of Trailblazers.
Perplexity runes were nerfed (6. inflicts confusion on heal skill use instead of interupt).
Condi epidemic necro is currently one of the meta builds in wvw zerg fights: http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Reaper_-_Epidemic is the build.

Your gear is probably fine. I wouldn’t bother with trailblazer’s on armor because the price-to-usefulness isn’t there, unless you get it from spvp.
That said, trailblazer’s trinkets are quite easy to get farming the LW3 maps if you really wanted it. Rabid is nice for the sake of critical hits, though.
Haven’t played WvW since pre HOT.
I had loads of fun playing on a condi-terrormancer support build. (0/6/4/0/4)
I have full set of ascended gear Dire armor with perplexity runes and rabid trinkets / weapons.
Is this gear setup still viable? Or should I spend my time farming a new set with different stats?
I haven’ messed around with the new trait system to see if I can still do a build like this, wanted to see if this gear is still relevant at all…
Appreciate any advice!
FYI, since your gear is ascended, I would switch it, or at least some pieces of it, to traiblazers / viper. Those 2 go together very well when you mix them for various degrees of offense / defense.
You can switch stats on ascended gear nowadays really easy, only thing is, traiblazers can get expensive due to some component prices, or can take a long time if farming for it. Other then that, just do it.
Runes, ditch them, you can use remover if its viable for the price, otherwise use runes to maximize your highest DPS condi.
If you have infusions, those are easily removed as well now, you can buy the removers from a vendor in the fractal lobby, no fractal badges needed, just some silver.
