Guild Wars 2

Getting tired of the generic Dagger/dagger or dagger/pistol builds

i’m interested as well, depending on how the ranger stealth reveal thing goes we might be seeing more of these builds popping up more frequently…

I’ve been experimenting with S+p and S+D with evade builds but I could use a little guidance

I use S/D + Shortbow for WvW, but it’s not really an evade build. I play a control build.

This thread covers many builds.

It’s hard to really tell you how to play, since all is up to your playstyle.
But general guidelines:
- Practice initiative management and shape your build around how much you need.
- Practice teleports and combos, there are many.
- Runes of Lyssa along with basilisk venom allows for more build variation because of the full condition removal and boons.
- Watch videos on youtube.

Currently S/D is balanced around sPvP, and is somewhat weak in mobility for WvW.

Here’s a build that looks pretty interesting in my personal opinion.
