Thief condition build Rabid weapons? (wvw)
I think dire is better. Other classes (engi, necro, mesmer) run rabid because they get additional condi procs on crit, like burning or bleeding. Teefs get no additional condi proc on crit. Although you can trait into cripple on crit, that forces you to trait into the CS line, which is underwhelming in a condi build.
If you want your attacks to do a bit more damage, carrion is slightly better than rabid. Otherwise, I think the most powerful condi teef builds run full dire.
