Guild Wars 2

It is pretty janky but it works really well imo. It has a bit more of a learning curve (since it is s/d), but it is pretty darn fun.

Blinding powder can be replaced with a utility of your choice, depending on your playstyle.

Note that it does not run DA (which is one of the “necessary” trait lines). Before you say “Nope not going to work”, give it a shot

Maybe you should say for which gamemode its meant to be. Not PvE for sure. In case of PvP its the problem S/D has in general, not enough damage/burst potential. You are fast enough for decaps, but not that great for +1. For WvW, why not, almost everything can be played there.

I would change some stuff though: You already have more defense through acrobatic, No need for trickster, especially cause withdraw is your only trick. The condiremove isn´t that important → you already have pain response, escapists absolution, remove on sword 2 and for emergency even shadowstep and signet of agility.
Since you anyway don´t use hard to catch (a very good passive stunbreak) a good idea would be to swap blinding powder with bandits defense, use channeled vigor and change havoc mastery to brawlers tenacity if you want a lower cd, not necessary though (but better have another stunbreaker on even lower cd + heal, than just one utility (withdraw) on lower cd. Then you even can use the trait bountiful theft (just great with stealing 3 boons).

But its your choice ^^

run this: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Impacting_Disruption
you gonna notice a reasonable DPS increase.

also running Bountiful Theft && channeled vigor would be a greate idea.

The reason for Trickster is because of the absence of mug / slight extra condi removal. I don’t take bountiful theft because of the boon removal on s/d 3 and vigor through acro.

The reason I take withdraw is because of the immob clear, and I take bound over dash for the dps. I will give impacting disruption a shot, thanks for the pointers guys
