Guild Wars 2

I wanted to primary focus on conditions, (until necro gets some good buffs) and I’m curious on how I should build my traits.

Obviously curses maxes first. But then there’s spite or soul reaping. Spite for condition duration, and soul reaping for critical damage and life force. I know for a conditionmancer it would seem the duration thing is more important, but I keep hearing others say critical damage is more important. What do you guys think?

Critical damage is relatively unimportant, most people go into soulreaping for faster life force generation and the foot in the grave trait. Spite for the additional condition duration is a good option. Other traits that are very good for conditionmancer are mark of evasion in blood and greater marks and staff mastery in death. Aside from 30 in curses it is pretty flexible.
