Q:

For all 80 levels I have focused on three stats: Condition damage>Precision>Toughness.

My build is something like this (0/20/0/20/30):
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYIQNAoYVlcm6OXey5E95EymiKUo8e8VdVY1pgrsKA

It was intended to maximize condition damage and survivability.

In WvW it’s much harder to land enough Death Lotuses to do significant damage than it was in PvE because players just run around and dodge.

Alright, so, back to the question. How should I update my build so that it suits WvW play? Is it possible to stay with condition damage or is power/precision more preferable?

Thanks for any responses!

Interesting, I will give it a try. The “death lotus spam” gameplay is viable against other players, though? I guess I just need more experience in landing them.

Honestly, I don’t really think it is. At least not in WvW. You’re better of playing Pistol/Dagger which works best with the same 0/0/30/20/20 build.

P/D is the way to go, unless your set on keeping your daggers. You can make the daggers work for you in a condition build though.

If your intentions are condition and survival go with a 0/0/30/20/20 build like this

Gives you good survivability while focusing on condition damage.
