Guild Wars 2

Do they have any chance of being viable against bosses?
Unlike S/P which i currently use atm, dagger builds have no immunes, blinds are ineffective against bosses and you still take dmg while stealthed.
I could spend my time dodging atks but that would mean less time dpsing.

Anyone have any good dagger builds for running dungoens. I was playing around with D/P and really enjoying it but i think once its crunch time, i’ll just drop like a fly.

Also our main source of heals seem to come while stealthed which again, takes me out of combat.

Is standing behind bosses enough to negate enough dmg to survive sustained fights.

Thanks in advanced, i feel like a change of scenery.

IMO it depends on the dungeon and boss fights, I would still take s/p over d/d even with the nerfs coming, and in some dungeons like CoE fighting Alpha you have 3-5sec between his barrage of AoE attacks and your Int Lost is no big deal at all.

IMO Dungeon fights dont last long enough for worrie about the nerfs, the nerfs hurt wvw and pvp.

Well this is considered the optimal min/max dps build for thief and it uses d/d for boss fights (where possible ofc.) and s/p for trash.

There is also the d/d condition/ evasion build I played around before and I found it quite fun on trash but I didn’t like it on bosses. Think it was 20/0/0/20/30 but I might be wrong.

Back when I was using D/D, I use Vampirism Runes.

The attack speed of daggers and Hide-in-Shadows → Back stab heals me for a lot of health and when I get into trouble, the Mist Form allows me to get out of danger before going down.

Love that video part where he says bosses will be inflicted from crybaby or kitten from exposed weakness lol.

Similar to the build I’m already running, cept i only have 10 in trickery in put the other 5 in acro for swift on dodge.
Guess I’ll have to see how it goes.

i just run my pvp build in pve… but kind of have to swap to p/p in some fights, especially fractals

in lv 48 fractals, mossman for example, 1 hit you are dead and it is usually not telegraphed
