Guild Wars 2

I’m relatively new to WvW and I was curious has to how well D/D does in WvW compared to S/P or D/P?

Depends on the build you run.

If we’re talking about a rather balanced build, D/P is better in pretty much every regard, except for initiative management, mostly because the BP/HS-combo takes 9 initiative to stealth you rather than 6. That can, however, be dealt with via appropriate traits. Being able to stealth on demand is extremely strong and the potential to remain in stealth permanently (which is pretty OP imo) can save you from certain death in a variety of scenarios.
D/P has insane sticking power and if you build it properly you have an insane amount of ways to disengage as well, making you a true pain to fight.
this should be a solid base for a balanced D/P-build. I’d definetly pick up condition remove on stealth as well as shadow’s rejuvenation if I were you, but they’re not mandatory. Vigorous Recovery coupled with withdraw gets you a high vigor uptime and an additional dodge for tons of mitigation, a really good combo that I don’t see a lot of people run for some reason.

For burst, I personally don’t like D/P as much as D/D (although it is more reliable because it’s harder to prevent you from stealthing), as you have to spend a higher amount of initiative for the initial burst.
However, I don’t run GC (or burst) builds a lot myself, so I’m not super experienced regarding those.

For S/P, while I don’t use it myself, from what I’ve seen and heard, it’s kind of a meh set. Pistol Whip’s damage is unreliable and kind of low, the nerf to quickness hit it rather hard. If you do want to use this, I’d propably go with a venom or two for CC so you can get your PW off more reliably. Overall, not a lot of advantages on S/D, especially with the new FS/LS combo imo.

/E: Although obviously, in WvW, you can use mobs to stealth as well (which kind of weakens D/P’s stealth on demand), it’s definetly not a bad set and I use it myself, however, I still consider D/P to be more versatile and stronger overall.

it does well, it can’t stealth as easily as D/P but it is much cheaper to do so, and the set has higher burst. it gives up access to head shot, an instant gap closer, and black powder to do so though, so you give up utility for the cheaper stealth and somewhat higher burst.
