I have been trying out and tweaking a death blossom condition build on BWE2 and BWE3. It seemed to work quite well. In the end I want to use this for PvE solo, fractals and raids.
I however am a bit in a doubt regarding some gear/trait-options.
This is the build I want to use, with my current gear that I have been preparing:

In short:
- Two sets of dagger/dagger with weaponswapping when off-cooldown for extra initiative and endurance while being able to spam death blossom on both actionbars. Lotus training for the conditions on dodge and the extra condition damage.
- Pistol/dagger set for ranged option
- Switch out traits in trickery to “thrill of the crime” and “bountiful theft” in raid settings to support your group more.
Some things that are still on my mind:
- Sinister or carrion: carrion gives that extra vitality and keeps you alive longer, especially with raids. Sinister however gives you that wee bit of extra physical damage through a higher crit chance. Sinister doesn’t add anything for condition damage though. A dead thief deals no dps.
- Acrobatics or trickery; acrobatics does give a lot to the endurance synergies but lacks the damage options/support that trickery offers.
- Runes: affliction or scavenging: affliction gives a lot of extra condition duration thus more stacks in the end. Scavenging; life steal and a condition damage boost (120 extra). Maybe even a total different set of runes?
