Just wanting some input into my Dagger/Focus build and also a comparison if you guys can against the other builds. (D/D, Staff, S/D etc)

Here is my build:
http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mcqzM9molvMMolvMM0pVxaoaVcsV

I’ve been stacking Vitality while trying to keep an imaginary soft cap for Toughness. (Is there even a soft cap for Toughness for us?)

My stats ingame with gear:
Health: 20 536
Armour: 2120
Crit Chance: 41%
Attack: 2683

Power: 1751
Precision: 1687
Toughness: 1200
Vitality: 1737

My build tries to focus around rotating basic dagger moves with Fire wall + arcane Proj. While rotating defensive cooldowns and CC until I wittle the other guy down.\
I usually pop Air Elemental for some random damage and CC in 1v1.

I’ve got Lightning flash over armour of earth specifically for movement in WvW and sPVP.

I’m able to run into an attacking zerg do my damage then bug out with defensives. Then come straight back in and bug out with cantrips.
I’ve so far been able to solo backstab thieves with either CC opening or defensives for them to waste their opening backstab.

The only class I have trouble with is mesmers atm.

Lastly I feel I can help a team greatly with projectile defense CDs, Arcane spec buffs, little bit of condition removal/healing and my own CC to compliment their attacks/kiting. (especially the chill and dazes in water with D/F)

What do you guys think?
Cheers

I dont do much spvp but i do wvw so ill comment in regards to that.
Focus just plain sucks. Very limited for mobility and much lower dmg output. And as ele you really need mobility and interupts. Obsidian flesh just doesnt make up for it.
Also staff is absolute king of wvw zergs. Nothing compares to it. Full berserker with staff and mad dodging skills you do soooooooo much for your team over any other weapon set its unbelivable. I hate staff playstyle but its only viable weapon if you want to be of use to your team.

Staff destroys zergs. d/d destroys roamers. There’s no room for your focus. Go sit in a corner <3
