Coming back to GW2, need some advice
D/D is far better as a power/ precision set. Deathblossom just isn’t that good. If you want to run condition, then pistol mainhand is the best choice.
For leveling, give Sword/ Pistol a try (again, in a power-based build). It makes most solo PvE fights trivial. Start with 30 points in Critical Arts (for Executioner), and the others can go anywhere you like for leveling up.
