Guild Wars 2

I’m currently running [url=“http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fQUQNArYGmAkKY9kiv3OqwxA”]this[/url] build while grinding to 80. Basically when ever DS is up, I:
- dodge in for mark of evasion
- f1 to enter DS for weakening shroud
- DS 2 if single target
- f1 again to leave DS for the deathly invigoration

I was thinking of going full soul reaping for 50% DS recharge, but then I looked the traits up on the wiki and found weakening shroud has a 15s icd. That means only meaning shrouded removal and deathly invigoration benefit from it.

So, what other trait combinations would support simply flashing DS instead of staying it it?

Spiteful Spirit (Spite 10) would provide 3 seconds of retaliation when entering DS.

Im a fan of Shrouded Removal and the Fury Buff you get from just flashing. I haven’t tested if Shrouded Removal has a CD ( dont believe it does) but the fury is applied each time you enter DS, for perpetual fury if you so wish to trait for DS cooldown. Spiteful Spirit is also a nice one, as stated above.

Some traits really need to specify cooldowns in descriptions (ie weakening shroud).

By the way, this is my spectral DS spamming build. Focused more in phisical than condition damage.

(It’s not exatcly what I use).

So basically you do whatever you have to do but every 5 seconds you enter/leave DS. No matter what, you have to do it. This way, every 5 seconds you will get 3s retaliation, 5s fury, lose a condition and sometimes cast enfeebling blood.

And even more, you can enter DS, press 3 for Doom (insta cast) and leave DS. Just in ~0.5s or less. (I binded DS in E instead of F1)

All of this without spending a single % of life force so it’s always there to save your life
