Guild Wars 2

Still pretty new to the game, currently level 8, using D/D and Shortbow. Just looking for some general advice about

- What gear bonuses I should be using? (Currently using Vitality for armor, and Condition for weapons)
- Most useful heal skill for this build?
- Useful utility skills for this build. (Currently using Spider Venom)
- Harpoon Gun or Spear for underwater combat?
- I suck at using the Shortbow, is there a rotation that’s good to use? (I currently only use it for group events when there’s other people to occupy the mobs, and even then I feel like I’m using it wrong)

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Full carion
P/D Shortbow ((Shortbow is a utility weapon, escape mechanics and AoE))
Withdraw/Caltrops/Shadow’s Refuge/Blinding powder/Thieve’s Guild.

The trick to this build is Cloak and Dagger + Sneak Attack, which stacks 5 bleeds on the target. Caltrops destroy ANY group event
