If you're willing to buy exotic armor with karma, then indeed, the Mortal armor of Grenth sold in Temple of Grenth seems a good option. If you're looking for runes which cause condition damage, you can check them here.
Another interesting dungeon armors with different attributes you could take a look:
- Flame Legion armor
Condition Damage+Power+Vitality(+315 / +224 / +224 Attributes)
- Sorrow's Embrace armor
Power+Vitality+Condition Damage(+315 / +224 / +224 Attributes)
- Corrupted armor
Precision+Toughness+Condition Damage(+224 / +224 / +315 Attributes)
- Nightmare armor
Condition Damage+Toughness+Precision(+315 / +224 / +224 Attributes)Precision+Power+Condition Damage(+315 / +224 / +224 Attributes)
- Inquest armor
Power+Precision+Condition Damage( +224 / +315 / +214 Attributes )Power+Condition Damage+Magic Find(+224 / +224 / +18%)
- Noble's armor
- 3 combinations with
Condition damageas a 224 atribute
- 3 combinations with
- Honor of the Waves armor
Precision+Toughness+Condition Damage(+315 / +224 / +224 Attributes)
- Corrupted armor
Precision+Toughness+Condition Damage(+224 / +224 / +315 Attributes)
You may also would like to take a look in Ogden's armor and Khilbron's armor
Resuming: There are several sets which contain condition damage, you may choose one that fits more your play style.

guild wars 2 - What is the best stat armor for a necromancer doing condition damage? - Arqade
I have a necromancer that does condition damage. What is the best armor for this type of necro? It seems that the best armor would be the Grenth Karma Exotic armor that I can get from the Temple of More on gaming.stackexchange.com
What gear should I get for my necro? And what build for that specific gear?
Generally any fractal / raid build is just a good balanced build. Sometimes they rely on others providing healing or boons though, so might be just dps. Basically they should be fine, but if you need a bit more survivability to them you can just swap some traits or utility skills out and go with that. Open world is never really too hard to need much survivability if you are OK at dodging and positioning. More on reddit.com

r/Guildwars2 on Reddit: What gear should I get for my necro? And what build for that specific gear?
December 1, 2020 -
Hello! I'm a new player (just started like 4 days ago) and a level 41 necro. I know I'm not level 80 yet, but I plan to take this game seriously so much so that I have already bought the expansions. I played GW1 way back and took a long break from MMOs after that, but I still really love the lore of GW.
I'm planning to get an exotic gear first once I hit level 80. I saw on metabattle that there are specific builds for open world, fractals/dungeons, and raids. These are the content that I would love to get into. But does this mean I have to get three separate gears/armors for each game mode?
tl;dr, Ultimately, I would like to know if there is a good starter gear and build for necro that can fit both open world and fractals/dungeons. For example, would Reaper Power DPS be also good for open world solo & roaming despite being designed for fractals & raids?

Focusing solely on your six armor slots... Get a cheap Berserker's set as your entry level set for power builds. You can buy a set of "Zhed's" armor from the trading post for approx 6 gold. - https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Zhed%27s_armor However, I prefer Marauder's gear for power builds. The extra vitality is really nice and Reaper hits hard. You can't buy it on the TP though, so you have to craft it yourself. You'll need a 400 Tailor. First, buy the insignia recipe from karma vendors. - https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Recipe:_Marauder_Intricate_Gossamer_Insignia All the armor pieces are discovery-based after you learn the insignia. The materials will cost you about 29g if you have absolutely zero materials in the bank. - https://gw2efficiency.com/crafting/calculator/a~1!b~1!c~0!d~1-71494;1-72602;1-73043;1-73643;1-74879;1-75971

February 20, 2013 -
I haven't been playing GW2 for a long time (only played it a little bit, when it first came out), and have recently started playing, 1 month i think (currently, level 29). So i have decided to start playing seriously, and necromancer always seemed something that would fit my play style. So i am running for the level 80 Norn necromancer!
So i caught an interest for armor sets, and started looking for what armor set i would head for as a Condition/Vitality necro, and couldn't really decide what would fit my play style the most? And also if their are any low level armor sets? since i don't really like the look of the armor you buy from the market on a Norn. But the level 80 armor sets looks awesome!
This is also my first post, so hope it catches some interest!

For a necromancer focusing on condition damage, there are five stat sets: Carrion (power/vitality/cond dmg). Crafted or Dungeons (SE/CoF), run CoF and craft/buy some with the gold you make. Rabid (precision/toughness/cond dmg). Can be bought with karma in Orr, accessories can also be bought for karma, it might be a good idea to pick up the accessaries there and run TA for the armour. Rampager (power/precision/cond dmg). Crafted or run TA/CoF/AC. Shaman (vitality/healing/cond dmg). CM seems to be the only place. Only accessories are named items I believe. Apothecary (healing/toughness/cond dmg). Crafted only, and too expensive for most budgets. Rabid is the most popular for a necro, but Rampager is good too for a power/cond dmg hybrid, which a necro does really well. Carrion is probably less desirable than those two, since there is no precision and necros already have a high health pool.

Hi guys!
I am going to make a Necro. I don't care about gender or race - I only care about armor/aesthetics!
So, do you guys have any pics/suggestions for scary/death themed armor sets for necro?
Thanks!!

I think the most obvious choice would be the arah dungeon set. Perhaps combined with final rest (but again - pretty generic) I have a sylvari necro and am still waiting for a dark dye to drop to go with a decayed plant theme (she's wearing sylvari cultural armor tier 1) EDIT: check out this site - http://www.gw2armorgallery.com/

There are many options, really your best bet is to look at what you can afford and just mix and match. My personal choice was to go with a sylvari because they are the only race the skull starter mask doesn't look silly on: http://i.imgur.com/0byWG.png http://i.imgur.com/lbLdASL.jpg
