So I think you are asking should you play a Power (direct damage) or a Condi (damage over time) build.

It depends on what game mode you are a playing. Is it sPvP, WvW roaming, WvW blobbing/zerging, WvW havoc group, raids, dungeons, fractals, open world PvE etc?

Tell us more about what game modes (and sub modes) you are playing.

Try running a spell checker over your English next time as just fixing up spelling mistakes would make it far more readable.

The percentage damage modifiers on abilities/traits such as Close to Death have no impact on the damage dealt by conditions. You should only take abilities such as those if you intend to play a build with Power in it.

Depends really. Vipers build are hybrid builds, and the increased damage effects the skill rotations, so i dont think its bad to use if you dont need or like the other grandmasters.

You’re right, Viper builds are hybrid builds, but as my original point stated: it has Power in it.
