Due to the future changes in Soul Reaping the Terrormancer has 3 important traits in the Master slot:
-DS-skill recharge (important to get DS#3 in a rotation-cooldown of 10-12 seconds)
-“Spectral Mastery” because this trait is now absolutely amazing and it’s important and since it extends spectralarmor and spectralwall duration
- +50% Fear duration, self-explanatory, but I think this is the least important one

Those are 3 traits wich can be combinated right now but can’t be after the update.
Additionally in the Curses specialisation “Terror” moves back again to Master so it can’t be combinated with “Path of Corruption” anymore. But the boonstrip it provides is important. As of right now I wouldn’t pick the Terrormancer over a basic condimancer, not even in PVP

the easiest solution (2 steps) whithout affecting any other build is:

1. switch places of “Path of Corruption” and “Weakening Shroud” so the Terrormancer can use it combined with “Terror” since boonstrip is needed. Any other combination provided will serve an basic Condimancer and even If a Powermancer takes Curses he can pick “Plague Sending”, “Weakening Shroud” and “Path of Corruption” for Condi Cleanse, Weakness and Boonstrip (Swiftness, Quickness, Protection, Stability are always annoying).

2. switch places of “Soul Marks” and “Vital Persistence” so the Terrormancer can equip -15%DS-recharge and either “Spectral Mastery” or “Fear of Death” at the same time. For the Adept slot every build still has a good choice of traits (piercing lifeblast, less degeneration or less recharge on DS) and the Grandmaster slot has a choice of 2 ways to get life force (spectral, marks) or a better contol over enemies (longer fears)

Those 2 changes will make the Terrormance a valid option again, at least in PvP and WvW without affecting any other build.

What do you think about this?
