Now… before we start i do know how good this build is but i love it in WvW
Basically your main rotation is to go Basilisk Vemon > Infitrator strike > Needle trap > withdraw > Steal(last second of withdraw)drops second needle trap ontop of them > pistol whip > pwn
Tell me if you like the build or can inprove it.
Hey
I’ve also found myself turning to s/p (+sb) in wvw post-patch and I gotta say I really love it. Been running a panic strike/haste/IP/tricks build. Its kinda a one trick pony but regardless its still a rush going stealthless (sorta) in wvw. Definitely have to be aware of your surroundings! Now is the time to try out new builds and try new things i guess and its fun.
Traps is an interesting choice for the extra immobs. Why not go panic strike though (or even devourer venom)? With flanking strikes/haste and PW you proc panic strike pretty quickly.
The only thing i feel like id change about your build is maybe a limited number of escapes, stunbreaks and condi removal. (esp if you are preemtively burning withdraw in your opening burst rotation)
After feeling i couldn’t rely on shadows embrace for condi removal i turned to a tricks build with lyssa runes which ive found to handle conditions pretty well. With withdraw, shadowstep, haste, roll for initiative and basi condi clear, it gives 5 utility condi cleanses, and 4 stun breaks. Your oh kitten button being roll for initiative (+shadowstep/sb5) to reset. It makes it harder to lock you down or condi burst with those utilities, and its saved me in outnumbered situations numerous occasions already.
Anyway, cool seeing another s/p wvw’er out there. Best of luck!
Oh that a good point with lyssa runes i may have to try that an for escape you just use Jump infitrator strike that delete shadow return. in most places in WvW you can get a target
