Guild Wars 2

So I just made a thief because I hear it’s the best bursting class. So as usual when I make a new toon I went into the PvP mists to fiddle around with gear and builds etc.

So basically I traited the first two skill lines to the max. errr wait a sec, it’s basically this build with a few changes

For my wep I used D/D and P/P

I was testing P/P damage and I used the Attack signet, plus haste and spammed unload x2. The golem was dead in like 3-5sec ish I was hitting like 5k damage.

So I tried the same thing with D/D. I activated the signet, then haste and spammed errr Death Bloosm I think it’s called until I ran out of initiative. And my target was well still alive. In fact took me more like 8-10 sec to bring the golem down.

So my question is I though D/D was supposed to be a good bursting build why is pistol doing more or am I just doing something wrong lol

U dont use death blossom for bursting with d/d. Go to stealth with CnD, get behind their back, then backstab. If u max out your power trait, you can do 3-5k dmg for CnD and 6-12k for backstab. If you pick up “mug” your steal will do another 4k dmg

Right, that makes sense thanks

Just to add while cnd mug backstab is the normal burst cycle, PP unload does do some really good damage alone as you noticed. The problem with it is anyone who knows how to will just dodge most the damage since the ability is so long and the damage speread across it. But it is great for mobs. And well people who dont/cant dodge.
