Guild Wars 2

I really love how D/P works but the problem is (and ill admit) im not too great with putting different traits and what not together to make a very useful build. Are there any good PvE builds using D/P out there? It seems like it could be pretty useful in PvE but i havent found any on the forums. Usually only P/D builds

I use Dagger/Pistol quite a bit and it is awesome for 1v1 battles, but more than one enemy against you can get a little tricky to pull off. I go with:
Deadly Arts: 0
Critical Strikes: 30 Furious Retaliation, Practiced Tolerance, Executioner
Shadow Arts: 20 Cloaked In Shadow, Hidden Thief
Acrobatics: 20 Fleet Shadow, Assassin’s Reward
Trickery 0:
Utilities: Withdraw, Signet of Shadows, Roll for Initiative, Caltrops

I prefer to use it in any battle by first using Steal to jump right in, and get an immediate Backstab. Then I throw up a Black Powder to keep my enemy from missing me and put up a Caltrops to stack bleeding and keep them from getting away. If things go well, I use a Heartseeker to go straight through the Black Powder to grant me more Stealth, which will allow me to get a 2nd backstab. If things dont go as I hoped, I get out as fast as possible by using Withdrawl and Roll for Initiative. I like to use D/P and P/P with this build with D/P when I’m alone and P/P for when a ton of random stuff is going on. I prefer to keep my stats around:
Power: 1500-1600
Precision: 1450-1550
Toughness: 1300-1400
Vitality: 1300-1400

Keep in mind this is level 80 stats.
Hope I could help you :)

Im using this build , it is my pvp build but it works as well in pve :

Deadly Arts: 0
Critical Strikes: 30 Practiced Tolerance, Signet Use, Hidden Killer
Shadow Arts: 20 Infusion of Shadow, Hidden Thief
Acrobatics: 20 Vigorous Recovery, Assassin’s Reward
Trickery 0:

Most of the gear I use is knight’s gear – power/precision/toughness

I use signets because they are on low CDs, assassins signet when backstabing and infiltrators signet for a stun break, signet of shadows for the perma movement speed increase.

The rotation in fights is Black Powder > Heart Seeker (for stealth) > Backstab , you can use steal > backstab as an opener. Even in group fight it is quite easy to pull off , if the mobs are not ranged , your enemies are blinded most of the time as the BP is aoe.

I run a PvE build and style similar to Markrath and I find late in the fight when you’re down to one remaining target you can rely on your 3 to maintain blindness while you finish it off. You can use your 4 to keep launcher worms from attacking, but I forget if they have any CQ attacks.
