Guild Wars 2

Just some fun clips of me playing on my Celestial Venom build which builds around life leeching for sustainability. Hope you enjoy watching.

Updated

Hey guys. I made this video which turned out to be a bit long but i hope you enjoy it. I really enjoyed the feedback from all of you and its kinda inspired me to improve what i started.

Check out the video my updated build.

could you link your build ooc?

In the video i was running
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fZAQNAoYVnMJSXTW6EONB/TmImQ4c3PPP3V7DLCA-TpBFwACOCANOEAEeAA62fAaZAAnAAA

But i like to switch up 4 points to how ever i feel like playing. The core if running alone is 60400 when using Venoms.

Also ive explained it in this post https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/A-fun-alternative-to-a-D-D-power-build/first#post4704977

Not gonna lie, you should have titled it SB life venom in stead of D/D. Nice play, but if i could have one gripe it would be your transitions. When you switch fights or viewpoints, or timing in a fight, you have to include a visual transition. The parts where you rewound and played again really throw you off and it looks like the video is skipping. Otherwise it was nice

I been screwing around with a same setup out of boredom but with venom strengh, bountiful theft, spider venom instead of skale for more leech and sometimes panic strike instead~ tends to work very well in wvw more than spvp cuz better gear choices but meh. Not very good examples lined up in this video but makes me want to see again if Celestial and Skelk venom are actually worth it. Only interesting use I found of Skelk is being able to insta-rally teammates with Venom Share~ but typically pugs are too dumb or unfamiliar with it to understand or notice.

I will only pick venom share if im running in a group that im in teamspeak with so that i can coordinate the CC like basilisk and and devour venom.

And you are right that i use the shortbow a lot but its only to pressure and movement. When i actually commit to an engagement i switch to Daggers.

Overall i like playing around with the venom build to optimize it. Skelk venom becomes extremely potent when traited into Leeching venom+ quick venom.
Ontop of that, superior rune of vampirism adds the extra bonus when using the healing skill to leech off your opponent. I just really find it satisfying that i can stand there and 1v1 without having to rely on constant CnD to survive. Most of the fights i get bursted down and then heal back up again.

Ill try to get better exampled clips put together for you guys since this was actually great feedback. Im still new to the whole video program but im learning.

Really appreciate the responses

Hey guys. I updated my build and made a new video… Hope you check it out
