I’ve been building up a set of Rampager exotic for awhile now and I’m wondering what trait/skill/weaponset I should try with it. Every body seems to go either bursty (berserker) or condition (carrion). I was using a survival thief for awhile with Pistol/Dagger and Shortbow. Traited 0/0/20/30/20 with maximum stealth skills. However I would like to up my DPS (preferably without having to get a new set of gear) any suggestions on how I should do this?

I’ve used rampager gear for ages with a condition/crit build (10<not for mug>/30/0/0/30) , some nice condition damage coupled with some decently strong critical hits (due to having reasonable power), throw into it some on-crit effects and you can really see some nice direct damage coming from it at the same time as good condition damage, in PvE its a good burst then break build, if utilizing somehing like DB you spend all your init on burst dealing reasonable direct damage (between the 100% crit rate you can get on DB, omnom pie life steal and on crit fire blast the damage goes to a decent level) then you can step away from any mobs to safety from AoE’s etc while your bleeds still deal good dps letting you utilize any utilities you have while you wait for initiative.

Of course in PvP situations its a little tougher though if you can get the bleeds up and then escape you do a fair bit of damage.
