Guild Wars 2

Has anyone tried a DD build for WvW that uses 20 in Shadow arts instead of 30?

I’m trying to get something with more dodges without using Truffle and Meat Stew.

So I thought perhaps the following?

I have all the gear listed without the Ascended armor – I have the mats but am waiting for the balance patch.

You lose the stealth heal but gain pain response. You get more HP from having points in acrobatics. The last 5 in Acrobatics could go to Deadly arts for the poison on steal.

I will try this to see if I miss the stealth heal but I just wanted to see if anyone had tried before.

The main reason I never stuck long with builds having less than 30 shadow arts is because I neither have the damage to burst someone down quickly nor the sustain to live long enough to outdamage theirs.

It’s also very hard to keep pressure on someone with a dodgy D/D build, which is the main reason I never go more than 10 into acro if I do at all.
0/30/20/20/0 would work best with D/P imo.

But for D/D the only ones I’ve found somewhat viable are:
25/30/0/0/15
10/30/30/0/0
0/30/30/10/0
30/30/10/0/0

You forgot the mighty 30 30 0 0 10, 4 signets kamikaze build.
