This is the build I have been running since I unlocked Reaper, I don’t have all the Ascended pieces that is shown, but, it’s what I am aiming for.

I use this build in practically everything, as I don’t have the money to be constantly changing out this for that. But mainly it’s for PvE and Small-group / Solo-roaming.

I really enjoy this Elite spec it is my favorite by far of the Elite specs, so please help me polish it.

I personally prefer to use Augury of Death instead of Chilling Nova since we apply enough chill and there is really no need to have more. The cooldown on Chilling Nova makes this trait really really useless. For this reason I use Your Soul is Mine instead of Consume Conditions. However if you plain of a full malice build (with Rabid stats) then Dhuumfire is useless: the time you apply Burn is lost on applying condition with the Sceptre, and when you are out of the Shroud the time you apply back the conditions the burn is lost. My suggestion is to avoid the Shroud most of the time, use Speed of the Shadows with Vital Persistence only to use Soul Spiral with a Poison Field (so, Corrosive Poison Cloud is a good idea) but then leave Shroud and keep using the Septre.
For the same reason (condition losts) I don’t use the staff anymore as secondary weapon, it’s just damage lost. Instead I have a Sceptre/Dagger on the first set and just a dagger off-hand in the second set with just a Sigil of Corruption.

So I would use this setup instead. Which is my main fractal builds (that I’m going to convert to Trailblazer’s)

@OP

I think your build has your own flavor in it and I don’t think it needs major changes.
Looks pretty well thought out.
a corruption freezer build…pretty cool

Looks perfectly fine to me. Very similar to what i am using at the moment. I just use Viper gear.

The only thing i would say is that plague sending trait is a little wasted here as you have consume conditions, deathly swarm, putrid mark & Suffer. It is a hugely situational skill. Unless of course you are fighting a boss that applies loads of conditions.

What you could do is leave Plague sending but change Consume Conditions for Your soul is mine and then take Augury of Death instead of Chilling nova that way you get some very slight extra healing which is actually kinda useless but you do get faster recharge times on two useful skills.

But again its entirely up yo you. If you find you get a lot of use out of it then more power to ya.

Last thing I have been really struggling with is, managing a proper rotation for this build, like, I still use staff as my switch to scept/dagger, because it’s nice for WvW when keeping people off an area, or in PvE tagging a bunch of things and not having to rely on my more potent Chill attacks.

So this is what I have been doing for my Rotation:
Blood is Power
Staff: 2-3-4
“Suffer!”
“Chilled to the Bone!”

Weapon Swap

Corrosive Poison Cloud
RS: 4-3-5 then Exit RS.
Scepter/Dagger: 2-5-4-3

Stick with Scept/Dagger skills, and use “Suffer!”/“Chilled to the Bone!” Corrosive Poison Cloud + RS Combo as needed or when their ready to be used, ect.

Any advice, or help on a better rotation would be GREAT!!!
