So I was running a Pow/Prec/Crit build and I don’t find that it helps in the slightest for PvE and WvW so I am going to respec into a condition build but I am not sure if I should go Pow/Prec/Cond or Pow/Vit/Cond. The Vit gear gives more Cond. What do you guys think?
Need advice on condition gear
The best stats for a condition build are toughness/precision/condition damage. Information on how to obtain it can be found in this thread:

It will take you some time to get it so power/vitality/condition damage is the best stop gap until you do.
Pow/Vit/Cond gear is useless for Conditionmancers. You need a good crit chance to apply as many bleeds as possible.
Power/Vitality/Condition damage gear isn’t ‘useless’, it’s the best gear you can use if you don’t have toughness/precision/condition damage gear.

Necromancers already have the highest health pool in the game along with a secondary HP bar, so Vit isn’t that useful on them. Without Precision, you will not be able to stack up any decent amounts of bleed to support your condition damage build leading to a massive decrease in DPS. Therefore Pow/Prec/Cond gear is your best bet if you don’t have access to Prec/Cond/Tgh gear yet.

No it’s not, you’re kittening your condition damage with that gear and way overloading your crit. Also, vitality is ALWAYS useful.

The additional bleed stacks easily make up for the slight loss in condition damage. As for Vitality, technically it is always useful, but killing faster helps you survive just as well as increasing your max HP by maybe 20%…
After some number crunching I’ve come up with some results. You are correct that the rampager stats will in fact give you more dps, I’ve concluded that it’s about 7% more dps (this is with sigil of earth on both). Of course, a lot of the rampager damage is based on RNG. Carrion stats will give you 33% more HP though.
