I prefer 10/0/30/0/30 with Perplexity Runes (interrupt with F1 and Scorpion Wire).

Runes of Melandru would be tankier and would be a better choice if you don’t want to have to time interrupts.

I run Carrion armor with Rabid trinkets (slotted with quartz), and I feel pretty tanky.

You can find the dire armor stats (Condition/Toughness/Vitality) on the trade post. They’re called Travelers armor or Errol armor

And what do you think about rabid (cond, toughness, precision) with undead rune, I saw it on youtube and it looks good, less tanky, but huge bleeding dmg?

I don’t see a whole lot of point using Precision without Power, because we don’t have a lot of useful “on crit” effects that are synergistic with condition builds. Not like Necromancers do, anyway.

Refer to my build. Dire armor trumps Carrion and Rabid. You don’t need precision or power for condition spec. With my build you maintain good armor rating, condition damage, and vitality.

Hm it looks like there are no dire ring and earings, but where did you get dire back? I find only rabid back for karma.
