Hers is my current trait setup:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQNAV3fjAV11xVCWsWCglCB1rfIT2DDd8xvgT2xycA;ToAg0yoEQJhSFlCKqmMNJaaUC

I want to mainly go conditions / traps, however I kept 20 in Marksmanship as the Wilderness Survival traits seem rather lackluster. Although, I’ve also been considering putting Marksmanship down to 10 and upping Wilderness Survival just for the Cond. Damage bonus if nothing else.

I am running all Knight’s jewelery (save for the amulet which is a berserker one, soon to be replaced by something ascended).

My current stats are:

Power: 1,810 (Attack: 2,095)
Precision: 1,921 (Critical Chance: 52%)
Toughness: 1,446 (Armor: 2,510)
Vitality: 1,012 (Health: 16,042)
Cond. Damage: 690 (Cond. Duration: 20%)

Overall, I’ve tried to stay balanced as I kind of want a little power for when I’m not applying a condition, and I’ve heard precision helps with trap critical hits. I believe I can get my condition damage up to somewhere around 900-1000 with Ascended items…though I don’t know where the point of diminishing returns is there.

Finally, if it helps I am running 3 runes of the undead currently, the other 3 are runes of the noble. I simply do not have the time for another MF set, although I am considering going 5 runes of the undead and using a karma infusion to get the MF back.

EDIT: Not sure why the forums dislike that link, but if you copy/paste it into the address bar it works…

I run a similar build. 10/25/20/0/15. I think if you do dungeons and fractals you need 15 in BM for pet swap. I don’t think its worth it to go for the 30point trap. Use food if u really need it. I actually use runes of pack for power and precision and all my gear is a mix or carrion and cleric I think. Amulets and stuff are CD,pre,toughness or ram pager. I’d like to change runes for divinity runes but too poor. Anyways this works for me and I think I do fairly well. I don’t think precision effects your traps but it does help you bleed more so that’s why I go for it.
