for this build how much dps do you lose if you use trailblazers vs vipers although I know you are supposed to use vipers but my dodging abilities are trash and want a bit more leeway for errors that I might make also what shatter skill should I be using?

If you’re using it in open world, Trailblazer or Celestial are good options (often better than Viper’s), so don’t worry.

If your plan is play instanced content (Strikes, Raids, Fractals, Dungeons) , then no, go Viper’s. Dps meter is more important than extra survivability, and most hits from the bosses there will either down you instantly or you won’t die even in full Viper’s.
