I’ve got a set of both viper and trailblazer I’ve been using on my reaper. For fractals, open world, and raid I’ve found it a lot better to use trailblazer.
The reason being is I stay in shroud much longer, which is where most of my dps comes from. The shroud1 AA does a small bit of damage when compared to the burning and poison ticks, and losing a lot of power did not seem to make much difference. I do use the power signet though to make up for it over having another pet, but it’s mostly because it’s a great dps bump when shroud drops it drops a pile of condis on the enemy in no time so you can pop back into shroud quick.
