Stability) if you know you won't need it for combat soon.
Ratings
0 sustain build and the damage isn't enough to justify it. Trades OP traits like Desert Empowerment for marginal DPS increases that in the end just aren't worth it since Anet gutted Scourge DPS traits in PvP years ago.
One of my new favorite builds to come out of Secrets of the Obscure! Extremely high damage, lots of CC, good range, loads of boon corruption, and decent survivability. Reasonably simple to learn and to play, though pulling off some of the combos requires practice and experience. Absolute blast to play, as well. Would much rather have one of these on my team than a Blood Sage at this point in the meta.
Lowkey stupid amounts of damage, gives some support via minor boon gen, barriers and cleanses as well as crowd control and boonstrip, but it can get deleted really quickly by bursty enemies, so much so that a support is basically mandatory
