Guild Wars 2

I can’t seem to pull it off. I’ve had other s/d thieves come and destroy me in a matter of seconds, but I never feel like I’m doing enough damage. It’s the main reason I stay away from a set that I otherwise find really fun.

(Slice or Slash or Cripling Strike) + Steal
Infiltrator’s Strike + Steal
Lacernous Strike + Steal
Cloack and Dagger + Steal

Cloack and Dagger + Steal , swap weapon, Surprise Shot + Cluster Bomb

Cloack and Dagger + Steal , swap weapon, Surprise Shot + Cluster Bomb + Gunk + Cluster Bomb (if you are fighting an engi) to gain chaos armor.

Personally i feel Flanking Strike + Steal a waste of iniziative most of time.

Flanking Strike + Steal is good when you’re fighting a staff necro standing on his marks, you port to him and just destroy his toys and watch his sweet bitter tears of panic as you can hit with Larcenous strike real soon after, still doing good damage while taking none

Other than that, Neferjrangh pretty much nailed the “combo’s”. Much of the S/D “burst” also relies on the proccing of Air and Fire sigils and the fact that it’s a weapon set that allows you to put constant presure instead of actual burst.
It simply plays differently, but with a few lucky procs, you can do a lot of damage and “burst” a squishy target in seconds.
