Guild Wars 2

So this is my toon. I have played up to level 80 so far with zero guidance, but upon trying my first dungeon I realized that I have little to no idea of what I am doing for sure. I’ve kind of revised my build lately, switching from d/d to d/p which I am unsure if that was wise or not, though I do like the constant blinds. I have mostly built upon toughness, power, precision and condition damage. I try not to go with the common crowd which appears to me to be backstab builds. Also advice on traits and skills would be useful.
Please educate me

this will not work with 11k hp

Something I’m considering for dungeons (CM, specifically) is 20 points in Trickery (what blasphemy) for Thrill of the Crime and Bountiful Theft. There’s a mob in CM that grants itself / others Stability, Protection and Regeneration. You can now steal two of those boons, and give them to your teammates along with Fury, Might, Swiftnesss and Vigor.

Granted, there’s a 38 second recharge on this ability. But to my knowledge the only other way to steal / copy an opponent’s boons in the entire game is the Mesmer’s Arcane Thievery, which has a base recharge of 45 seconds.

Also, regarding pistol off-hand: Head Shot is an amazingly good way to quickly peel off 3 stacks of Defiant, setting up for an ally’s big stun or knockdown. Or one of your own, if you like.

EDIT: I’m guessing you’ve taken 30 in the critical strikes line? If not, you might consider it, along with Practised Tolerance (Gives you about 94 Vitality, I think, and your build could use a little health) and Executioner (Lots of bonus damage for the half of a boss fight where people are starting to get worn down / run out of cooldowns)

You’ll need more health for sure, the damage you have is also a tad on the low side (for a valk gear build).
