Yea I just put together this awesome p/p build! Oh…No I didn’t, because anet took pistols and ran them over with a kitten truck! Just class A stupidity. There is literally no reason to even have the whole weapon class in the game now.

I know d/d has fallen somewhat out of favor in recent times, but it’s still my favorite playstyle in wvw. After playing all day today, my general feeling is that my build has gotten noticeably stronger with the new patch. So consider giving d/d another look.

The following is originally based off Yishis’ d/d build, but since Descent of Shadows got rolled into Cloaked in Shadow, I found myself with an entire trait line open that didn’t necessarily have to be Acrobatics, so I ended up choosing Trickery.

See Yishis’ Outnumbered videos for much better gameplay and commentary than I could provide. This build plays much the same as it did pre-patch, except that you also get goodies like on-demand Boon Rip + Daze and bursts of Quickness.

Valk armor, except zerker chest. Berserker weapons and everything else. Traveler Runes. Dagger/Dagger and Shortbow. Fire and Air sigils on both sets.

Utilities: Hide in Shadows, Blinding Powder, Shadow Refuge, Shadowstep, Daggerstorm.

Shadow Arts:
3) Shadow’s Embrace (remove damaging condis in stealth)
1) Shadow Protector (gain regen on stealth)
1) Cloaked in Shadow (gaining stealth blinds enemies + reduced fall damage/blinding powder)

Critical Strikes:
1) Side Strike (7% increased crit chance on side/back strike)
2) Practiced Tolerance (ferocity based on precision)
2) Hidden Killer (100% crit chance when attacking from stealth)

Trickery:
2) Flanking Strikes (quickness & fury every 60s on a side/back attack)
1) Bountiful Theft (rip 2 boons & vigor)
2) Slight of Hand (daze on steal and reduced steal recharge)

Omnomberry Pie or Slice of Candied Dragon Roll. Hardened Sharpening Stone.

What are you using for the sigils and Runes? I was just trying to make this build last night for my girlfriend, and it seems good. Hard to tell when I can only practice alone on the PvP golems haha.

While I am not OP, I am making a very similar build atm, and I am partial towards Traveler Runes so far, simply because of the movement speed and a lack of reliable swiftness and with me being so darn impatient.

Why sinister gear?

Hidden Assassin:
DA: Mug, Panic Strike, Executioner (because its broke….)

Critical Strikes: Flawless strikes, sundering strikes, hidden killer (extremly high backstabs of 10k+ or more plus bonus damage from condis, and adds to the brokeness)

SA: Shadows revjuvi (faster INT gain + Healing), shadows embrace (because more condi removal..) Hideen thief (sets up wonders for backstabs with stealth on steal + mug)

Still using Valk gear, zerk rings/amulets and Pack runes.. pack runes seem kinda worthless now as i dont get swiftness I may change to something else.
