Guild Wars 2

Its a backstab build and the damage and survival is there but maybe im missing something and I can get some thoughts.

First im a D/D & Short Bow user. Full Lvl 80 exotics Armor and Weapons. I run a mix of stats on equipment and use the Runes of Scholar. I use Signet of Shadow, Signet of Assassin, and Devour Venom. Daggerstorm as my elite. My stats are as followed.

Power 2306
Precision 1572
Toughness 1313
Vitality 1494

Attack 3287
Critical Chance 35%
Armor 2372
Health 16585

My skill Tree is:

20 Deadly Arts – Mug, Dagger Training
30 Critical Strength – Signets of Power (10 Stacks of might), Practiced Tolerance (5% Precision converted to Vitality), Hidden Killer (100% Crit from stealth)
5 Shadow Arts for Last Refuge (Blinding Powder) has saved my life so many times.
15 Acrobatics with Vigorous Acrobatics so when stuff hits the fan and I heal, I can dodge more.

I rarely die and my backstab is still hitting really hard. The 5 in Shadow Arts came last and it was the final piece of the puzzle, that blinding powder is a difference maker in the WvW environment.

That’s a fairly neat setup. If it works for you, then not much can be said.

Quick question – what gear combinations do you actually use eg. Valkyrie? Right now, I’m using all Berserker’s and traiting for survivability with gear accounting for damage as passive.

If you’re running a Back Stab build you should put 5 points more in Deadly Arts.Thats 10% more damage and thats a lot and very important.
