Trait Details
SPITE:
II - Remove one condition and heal you for 900ish while striking an opponent below 25% health.
IV - Just too good. Passive 3 boon removal with a fair direct damage.
VII - Best trait in this line! All your signets recharge faster, give you 3 might stacks on use and corrupt 2 boons on opponent.
CURSES:
II - Cast plague signet when you have 3 conditions and crit your opponent. Nice sinergy with spite traits.
VI - Tradicional Terror trait. Hope it scales VERY WELL with high condition damage.
IX - New scepter trait. +150 condition damage and +100% duration on scepter skills, means your bleeds are going for 12~13sec duration.
SOUL REAPING:
II - Great trait, LF regenaration on staffs marks.
VI - Since we pick terror in curses line, makes sense take this one.
VII - Stun break / stability stomp every 10 seconds, sounds nice. Still debating between this and dhuumfire.

Upgrade Item Details
Since we have a high crit chance, makes sense use crit sigils.
- Torment sigil: is nice, you can stack up to 2 torment stacks in aoe. Torment got a little buff in damage.
- Strengh sigil: I was able to keep 4~5 might stacks only from this sigil. That is like 150 condi dmg.
- Corruption sigil: solid choice, 250 condition damage once its fully stacked.
- SIgil of battle: more might, always welcome.
V. Basic Gameplay
Same gameplay as old terrormancer, but now you have more condi tranfers and boon corruptions. Stack your conditions and fear them to death.
Main Skill Rotation
I didn't manage a proper rotation quite yet, because i am still waiting on patch to see how might stack will be working.
