Guild Wars 2

So with the DS change, I’ve decided to try something different than the Dhuumfire condition build, instead opting for something akin to 0/30/10/0/30, focusing instead on the Terror + Master of Terror combo and opting in for more survivability instead of damage.

Mainly, though, my question is what to do with the 30 point trait for Soul Reaping. I’m thinking either Soul Marks to compensate for the scepter’s poor LF generation or Foot in the Grave for OMNOM stability (either to screw over warriors/guardians or to make getting off my DS3 -> DS5 -> DS4 combo off easier). Both will most likely be accompanied with the 20% off staff CD trait.

What do you guys think?

I’d say take Foot in the Grave. Your build is (probably) going to be focused more on flipping into / out of death shroud than sitting in it for prolonged periods, so you’ll have good periodic stability to ensure you’re the one controlling the fight rather than a bit more life force to tank hits.

Foot in the grave for WvW, deadly perception for PvE. However I use an axe/focus so I have a good amount of incoming LF, as a staff user you don’t get that; but I have heard some staffusers swear by it. For PvP I cannot comment as I never do that part of the game, so there the choice is yours.
