This is a Sword/Dagger build that doesn’t use haste for any serious burst.

This build focuses on the ability to control a player with Daze, Immobilize, and Blind. The build offers high damage from from sword and bow auto-attacks. By taking 15points in Shadow Arts we get longer stealth and 2-Initiative when stealthing. When attacking with sword you should remain near full Initiative. This allows for easy escapes with Bow-5 and Shadowstep.

Using sword-2/Shadowstep/Hide in Shadows you have enough condition removal to take off pesky bleeds.

The Utility skills are changeable, use what ever you find comfortable, but I have found these to work best in WvW. In sPvP one may take Thieves Guild/Basilisk Venom over Dagger Storm.

For WvW or PvE, use (power/vitality/toughness) with berserk accessories and ruby jewels.

For SPvP, refer to the link.

Runes and sigils can be found in the link. Use Master Maintenance Oils and Omnomberry Ghost for nice buffs and health regen.

A normal rotation is as follows:

Steal, x3 autoattack, Cloak and Dagger, x1 autoattack (Daze), Sword 2, Cloak and Dagger, switch to bow and get another immobilize because at this point the player you just dun goofed should be running. Spam 1 and enjoy those 1.3k crits.

A Tip for this build, if you want to troll stealth and deal damage with Cloak and Dagger:

Cloak and Dagger, Daze, and x3 autoattacks. By time you get off the 3rd attack the reveal debuff would have gone and you can go back to stealthing.

Someone told me the link doesn’t work. If I could get a confirmation, I’ll see if I can fix it.

If you are only auto-attacking with a c/d every now and then, why would you need 15 initiative?

I like to roam and travel fast in WvW, the extra initiative grants more bow-5’s over time. Makes for nice escapes from zergs as well. Also, Cloak and Dagger Spam for inf. stealth can last longer with the extra initiative. Also, it’s nice to spam Bow-2 for that Cluster Bomb to get siege or kitten up a group with AoE.

I’d be interested in trying this. Do you think Side Strike might be a better pick over Critical Haste considering the stuns though? You may end up using the 7% crit more often than the haste on the 30 second cooldown.

I tried the 7% and it felt like it really hadn’t helped much, and I like the randomness of quickness out of nowhere.

bad link mate, get a new 1 up and running as soon as you can, I am a P/D Thief but I’m looking to branch out on SPvP due to the (time schedule and quicker nodes on team =means quicker wins.
