Guild Wars 2

Hi all,
Like many, I have been struggling to find which sets are conducive to my build, which is heavy conditions. The kharma exotics have almost no condition damage on them. Could someone point me in the right direction as to which set would be best for a condition thief?

I was thinking the Carrion emblazoned set. Is that purely a leatherworking-crafted set?
Thanks in advance.

well, I say Carrion or Rampager is the only option. Rampager has no defense and less condition damage but has pow and precision too. Probably should go with Carrion btw. And yes they are pure LW crafted gear.

Also the Twilight Arbor set has some nice condition damage stats, along with the great runes.

Thanks. So instead of kharma farming in Orr, I’ll be materials farming in lower zones…
I dont feel like breaking the bank using the TP
Only at 131 leatherworking. Is it easier to just sell things on the TP to make $$, and purchase the carrion set(which will go for 12-15 gold total), or level my leatherworking and farm the mats?

And how can I check out the look of Carrion gear?

I am atm farming COF set, but I think all dungeons that provide lvl 80 exotics have a condition dmg gear sets

You can get a few pieces of good gear in a variety of specs (or other things worth about the same that you can trade away) by getting map completes in Orr.

i spent some time the other day trying to come up with something that works well for me for a Dagger+Dagger build.

my playstyle takes advantage of both alot of critical hits AND alot of bleeding/poison condition damage so accomodating this required some blending of gear sets.

The first thing I decided was that I wanted to hit 16000 base health no matter what so this required using some vitality pieces on the larger equipment slots (body, legs, amulet). For Vitality equipment the only good choices for a Thief are Carrion (power, vitality, cond dmg) or Valkyrie (power, vitality, crit dmg). I went with Carrion here as getting my bleed ticks up to a good number is very important to me.

The next thing I decided was that I wanted my critical hit rate to be at minimum 33% unbuffed. Its possible to get much higher by really stacking Precision (i’ve been as high as 53% unbuffed) but for my own purposes I decided 33% was enough. For Precision gear the choices are Knight (power, precision, toughness), Berserker (Power, Precision, Crit Dmg), and Rampager (power, precision, cond dmg). I chose Rampager as this one is the only offensive stat set with Condition Damage and it also has the highest precision compared to the other choices.

Here is the final mix I came up with:

Head: Rampager
Shoulders: Rampager
Body: Carrion
Gloves: Rampager
Legs: Carrion
Boots: Rampager
Amulet: Carrion
L. Ring: Carrion
R. Ring: Rampager
L. Earring: Carrion
R. Earring: Rampager

Mainhand Weapon: Carrion Dagger
Offhand Weapon: Carrion Dagger
Swap Weapon: Rampager Shortbow
