Guild Wars 2

They are good but I don’t know about OP… Dagger cleaves 2 targets and they can die pretty quick…

Don’t plan for 1v1 unless you are dueling. Plan for 1vs many…

I used to use it in WvW till they nerfed it. Which was incredibly random cuz I felt like I was the only person using it and it was never complained about. Surprised even more-so post nerf of anyone claiming it’s OP because it isn’t.

By no means is ambush OP…
Though against badies, everything is.

I personally wouldn’t run it in WvW. Though when I do sPvP, running a condi P/D build, I do use ambush and Thieves Guild.

In combat, after say stealthing, I would plant it right under the opponents feet making it more likely that they will trip it. Once they’ve tripped it, optionally and depending on the situation I would pop TG, giving me a total of 3 minions/thieves – for some people that causes a panic, the female thiefs also use scorpion wire which is nice sometimes, the pistol thief drops BP as well… It’s mainly for that panic/confusion aspect in combat – works decently well against badies.

The other neat thing I would do with it is plant it right on the center of a point that I just cap and leave to cap another point, if the trap triggers, that means someone started back capping that point. Sometimes by chance, I would leave the trap on one point and fight at another point/location, out of nowhere a thief would appear – again adding a bit of confusion/panic for the opponent.

Basically how I’ve used that trap in sPvP.

It’s gimmicky, and not OP.

I used to use both in WvW for the same reasons, it’s a force multiplier and makes most people fumble, but also for the warning when I’d be around a corner or hovering around artillery. I used to build for rescue in zergs and they made nice back up, especially in Shadow Refuge, when reviving people. they can also be nice bunker busters when the other side would throw up a ballista by Shadowstepping in, drop Ambush trap and maybe Thieves Guild with Caltrops, and then fight a bit until it’s time to Shadow Return.
