It’s fantastic as a the first wave bleed application in 1vX. With P/D as second set and full dire with cover condis and Krait (which also turns dancing daggers into serious AE damage) this is a very powerful camp trasher and 1vX iWin.

It’s not viable to take D/D to spam 3 only to switch to P/D. SB gives you range, 2 condition AOE skills, evade and teleport…. I also think you can stack bleeds faster and in a larger area with SB…

No, you can’t.

It doesn’t lay down bleeds more effectively than DB. It never has. DB has the same number of targets, a faster animation, and 2.5 x the bleed duration. That’s also discounting the fact that you’re more likely to “trap” enemies in a Caltrops field with it, leading to more colossal bleed damage than anything else in the game can hope to generate.

It’s a persistent myth that SB is better for bleeds when it simply isn’t.

edit: Death Blossom is fine, except for maybe the evade duration. Even then it’s still mostly fine.

All these garbage thieves wanting to change DB that have no idea. Here is a tip for you. Thieves DO NOT have any cool downs on weapon skills. You can spam heartseeker (which a lot of you garbage thieves do anyways), cluster bombs, choking gas, unload, or black powder. The only cool downs are on weapon swap and utilities/elite. Find a combination that suit your play style (steal/cd/backstab/hs… or whatever) and run with it.

You have zero idea at to how powerful DB really is but you think that some how a new skill or revamped DB is going to make you better.

Considering you can spam your favorite skill over and over if you cannot come up with a combo/build as is, one new/revamped skill is not going to help.

Ditto.

Not trying to sound uber… it is just a great skill, but would agree with Einlanzer evade tweak. I think folks are playing too much theory-craft GW2. I play D/D condi main with P/D in WvW and sPvP when not playing power builds… the P/D set gets played around 20% of each fight because D/D gets the job done faster.
