Guild Wars 2

What armor stats should I use for Viper Horror build until I get full Vipers/Sinister?

I assume Rampager’s is the closest (Power/Precision/Condi). Would it be a good use of Karma to buy an exotic Rampager’s set of Temple Armor from the Orr vendors?

Using the build at http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Reaper_-_Viper_Horror.

Thanks!

Honestly, I’d say rabid with krait runes and an agony sigil. I’d prefer having condi damage as a main stat rather than precision (unless you actually plan on raiding in said gear, then Rampagers is better). But since its a stop gap until you get viper/sinister, it probably doesn’t matter too much.

Unless you don’t have tailoring leveled at all, it’d be equally as cheap to just make exotic viper’s armor… The recipes cost Aurillium (by far the easiest/most horded currency) and use Black Diamonds, which are also super cheap on the tp.

But if you don’t have Heart of Thorns or something, I’d go with a Rampager/Carrion mix.
