So I just hit 80 and I’m trying to decide on spec and gear.

I want to do a shortbow + axe/warhorn condition and trap build.

I was hoping to find gear with power/toughness/condition damage, but it seems like this combo doesn’t exist.

What is the best extant stat combo for that type of build, anyone have any suggestions. I know there’s power/precision/condition gear but I wanted a bit of defensive stats so I’m not a glass cannon, and I really don’t want to stack vitality as I didn’t plan on traiting into that tree so it seems like I wouldn’t get the full effect of it anyway.

what are you planning to spend the majority of your time doing(WvWvW, SPvP, PVE Dungeons, DE’s) and who with (Organised guild groups or pugs)?

Whats your play style? You like staying alive and supporting, You like pew pewing, You like trapping and kiting…

Need more information as there is not a single trait set that rules them all.

Sorry, I like to do a bit of everything. Maybe not super serious aboutsPVP but dungeons, open world pve and wvw for sure.

Wasn’t really asking for the best spec period, just what would be optimal gear for condition/traps and the weapons I suggested. I generally just try to kill the stuff in front of me, I use support abilties in dungeons when it helps, use more damage when its appropriate, and trap and kite when it helps. None of those are things I would say i do all the time, more when the need arises. However, with the trap traits and condition damage I wanted to generate a good buit of my damage from trap conditions as well as weaponconditions.
