I’ll be doing a little more PvE but I do WvW sometimes and I Don’t want to respec constantly to do it, what do you guys think of this build? What would you change either Traits wise or equipment wise?

Does anyone have any insights? I also considered something like 0/30/30/10/0

honestly if you are going 25 points into SA you may as well go the full 30 for the healing. also, in pvp using hidden killer for small groups and while roaming will be beneficial as it ensures the backstab crit, and you can switch to executioner for large fights and burst down low health targets. also, as much as some people love it, I find SoS a bad habit for stealth prone builds, SoA will give you extra dodge rolls and a condition cleanse, and you can take the 50% movement speed in stealth trait to help with positioning. it also allows for better sprinting if you are willing to burn dodge rolls to catch a running target.

0/30/30/10/0 and 10/30/30/0/0 are both great shadow arts BS builds. may want to use d/p if you do any sPvP though, as the ability to stealth without a target and BP stomps are more valuable there than the target and ally rich areas of WvW and PvE, where the extra damage from CnD and the bouncing snare from dancing dagger can be more helpful.

Hye pearl..

i have almost the same build..

take hidden killer.. it is much more beneficial..

the only thing missing from your build is a way to self heal… (that is not your healing skill.. for that reason.. i only went 20 in SA and took shadow protector and shadows embrace.

the extra 5 points went to acrobatics to get 2 init regen every 10 secs and power of inertia..

i use dagger/pistol .. i personally believe you need mug with dagger dagger. otherwise you might as well go dagger /pistol..

contrary to Grimm’s comment, i actually like SoS on any thief build.. the extra blind is very helpful.. and shadows embrace, for me is enough cond removal.

i have been tossing up between the build i described above.. and 10/30/30 bs mug build…. i miss the burst
