10/30/0/0/30 Dagger pistol interrupt build.

Best Spvp build imo

Traits are
Mug.
Furious retaliation/ signet recharge/Hidden Killer
0
0
Thrill of the crime/bountiful theft/Daze

Signet of fire on shortbow
Signet of intelligence and air on pistol/dagger

start with shortbow drop poison and some dps, Use cluster bomb then steal in with f1 as you weapon swap to pistol and lay down black power, hit them twice then press 2 to heartseeker. You will gain stealth and all 3 hits will be a crit due to intelligence. Then hit them with backtab and press 4 to headshot them and interrupt their heal. Usually most classes are dead – Only Engi and Gaurdian really survive this.

If they glyph away then use your inifiltrators signet to follow.

Utilities are:
HiS- Infilitrators signet, Shadow refuge, Shadowstep and elite: Thieves guild… or if you really want basilisk venom but its kittenty.

Good points:
Can easily interupt enemy stomps.
Blinds with black powder to stomp any downed class.
Huge DPS, if you pull of the combo correctly you can drop anywhere from 10 – 14k dmg from the moment you steal to your backstab (2 – 3 seconds) and then interrupt the heal or blink with headshot.
Lots of initiative regen/Gain.
Steal is short on cooldown and it poisons, damages, gives you boons, access to vigor, strips boons and interrupts.
Best when supporting fights already happening – E.G your necro vsing someone for home, you rock up mid fight and burst the enemy, then support other team mate.

Bad things:
No Condi Clear – Literally get destroyed in seconds by condi heavy builds that jump you.
Not good in large fights.
1v1 can be hard if you get the jumped on first (3 on shortbow is your friend in this situation).

For pvp, you can’t really go wrong with 26006 Dagger/Pistol or 20066 Sword/Dagger. They are both strong options atm, but after the patch in two days things could of course change.
