Guild Wars 2

I usually always play D/D both in PvE, sPvP and WvW. I use staff if I’m running with a zerg and D/D for roaming. Now I wonder what would be the benefits of running S/x (either with focus off hand or dagger) over a D/D build if you want to roam in WvW?
I’m thinking something standard like 0/30/0/20/20.. I’m using zerker in PvE but this is obviously not an option in WvW. So which gear would be the best? If anyone got any videos to share of WvW scepter game play (something that’s still viable of course), I would like to watch them..

What type of roaming are you intrested in? distracting large groups? 7-15 people or like 1v5 kills?

I play zerk S/D (20/30/10/0/10) for small group/solo roaming in WvW. It is a lot of fun and utterly destroys most people. You just need to be aware of your squishiness and play accordingly. Sadly, no videos, as my computer is a brick :/

Both are good to roam honestly.

I think the days are long gone when ele could kill 5 people all alone :P
But yeah, I mean more like small group fights..

I could imagine trying something like that in pve. what traits are you using in fire? I’m guessing Pyromancer’s Alacrity and Internal Fire?

Lava Tomb (lol) and Internal Fire. I switch out lava tomb for spell slinger in some cases, such as duoing with a thief.
