Guild Wars 2

Still pretty new to game but ive been switching back between critical strikes build and shadow arts build, D/P. I was wondering what other thought is the better choice for just Organized pvp, no roam. Any input will b valued KappaRoss

any input please?

No one answered because there’s not much to say, CS will give you more damage, SA will give you stealth bonuses. It’s your choice of a more offensive or defensive build.

Neither. Deadly Arts, Trickery, Daredevil.
Unless you don’t have HoT, then probably critical strikes since a large part of what SA once brought to a team is negated by ridiculous amounts of cc and cleave from tank builds.

I actually use CS, Trickery, Daredevil. Invigorating Precision is a lifesaver when using a melee weapon, especially if your crit chance is at least a base of 50%. If you’ve invested your gear in precision (like I have), you’re wasting your time doing anything else. The almost perma-fury from that trait line will keep you healing 200+ health a hit.

Edit: Nvm I didn’t see the pvp part at first. Daredevil is good but if you don’t have HoT, I’d personally go with DA, CS, trickery

If you’re D/P, I’d say SA.

That steal → stealth from Hidden Thief → Backstab combo on demand is too good. Also the increase in stealth time will make sneaking to decap easier. Hidden thief also makes for a good “oh kitten stealth pls” button on low CD. Shadowshot should make you relentless enough to make up for lost damage from not taking CS. Overall, it is a lot safer and survivable which is what D/P needs since outside of stealth its defensive options are weak (no condition clear, only single target/small field blinds).
