Bleeder Thief Fun
I’m playing something like this myself however I’m using a shortbow and d/d. Vs beginners and generally people with poor condition removal it’s pretty nice however I’m sure you’ll see that vs people that know a little bit about what they’re doing it’s not quite as easy.
In that initial situation if people just dodged away from the caltrops and used a condition removal they could have easily countered your strong opener that used quite a few CDs and all initiative.
I play this mostly in WvWvW and some sPvP and my strat is to start with just a few stacks of bleeding and poison and go stealth with the #5 dagger ability and try and force a condition removal there and then go in a little stronger. So I basically aim at a longer game not throw everything off the bat. I also play this with more survivability utility skills and traits, something like 0/0/20/30/20. My play style is basically bleed and wait it out in stealth until they’ve used most of their stuff. It does pretty well vs multiple opponents too.

Yeah. Videos against bad players are unimpressive. Sorry :-(
That first Group just sat there and fought you in a caltrop field while you Death Blossomed them over and over. Not a single dodge or interrupt or anything.
I also prefer a little more mobility vs. a campy build ;-)

What is your trait distribution? For a condition build, pistols and shortbow are interchangeable. IMHO.
