Guild Wars 2

i have started experimenting with some skills which greatly compliment a pistol whip sword build. i find haste is great and makes the attacks really fast, allowing you do do a ton of burst damage. basilisk venom helps to keep you on your target during the sword swings, since you cant move during it. obviously assassins signet gives you the 150% damage which is always nice.

what do you guys think of the pistol whip build for pvp, and what tips have you discovered?

Pistol whip is hard to land against players. The initial stun takes so long to cast that good players will avoid it. And it is a channeled skill, so often you will be whiffing away at nothing while frozen in one spot while the target is getting away. The sneak attack with sword is really weak as well – not that you will get into stealth often with that combo.

Of all the dual wield combos my favorites are dagger/dagger and pistol/dagger. 20 points or so in shadow arts is key to getting the most out of the dagger offhand to set up sneak attacks for a cheap initiative cost.
