What gear to use if Vipers is not available?
I currently am running full berserker and was wanting to try out a condi spec. The only problem is that I have no tradeskills to make a Viper’s set. What’s a good alternative till I get my tradeskills up? Would it still be worth playing Condi if I don’t have Viper?
Sinister or rampagers is basically vipers without condi duration. Rampagers has more precision and sinister has more condi dmg.

I think I’ve seen DPS charts that say rabid does more damage that rampager on a condi ranger in PvE.
Something like this should be extremely good if you want to get an early taste for condi-ranger. You don’t need leatherworker at 400, and it should last you until you can craft ascended Viper’s.
I wouldn’t recommend crafting exotic Viper’s since it’s so expensive and quickly replaced, you do get some free Viper’s from the HoT story though I believe.
Just buy most of the armour/weapons on the trading post (Normally they are between 50s to 3g). You can get the more expensive bits from the karma merchants in Orr or the dungeon vendors.
Once you get your recipes unlocked and crafting levelled it’s very easy to upgrade piece by piece into full ascended Viper’s. (Can also do fractals or raids for easy ascended boxes).

Thats becaus erampager is more precision and less condi in comparison to rabid.
Sinister is basically the way to go except you wanna crit more often.

On that note, I’m estimating it’s about a 100% chance give or take 0% that the entire PvE meta will change once the new expac comes out in a (presumably) few months.
Exotic rabid and then berserker ascended is a safe choice, and you can change the berseker armor to whatever new OP stat comes next. Like some 1 stat condi armor or something equally crazy.
