No it’s not viable as glass cannon anymore.
Ele & thief main (full ascended)
Down with the braindead faceroll classes.
The class isn’t viable anymore.
ARM isn’t viable anymore.
It depends on what mode of the game you are playing:
-In wvw and pvp it is mainly support (offensive), not burst.
-in PvE you can go GC and put out some nice dps with fresh air, but you’d do better with the focus anyway.

For pve glass cannon d/d is most certainly awesome as long as you know when to dodge and use your skills wisely. I pve with complete zerker gear using d/d, s/d and s/f. For wvw and spvp the only time it came be helpful is when you have a great amount of support behind you even then you are way too squishy to die in 2-3 hits from a single burst type of player.
I used to play D/D in spvp as cannon.

If I were ever to run that again (which I wont due to the D/D being one of the most buggiest weapons the Ele has when lagging) It would be 0 20 0 20 30 or 0 15 10 15 30.
Now I’m enjoying playing around with the S/F (still, been playing around with this since before the RTL nerfs lol).

Not really, but I play it pretty kitten glass anyways in WvW for roaming.

Its a little better in small group fighting where you have a little support than solo.
