I just don’t know how to use them, I have 30 Deadly Arts, 30 Crit Strike & 10 Trickery all traits based on offense but I barely kill anyone (which is my goal since I want to be a glass cannon with high damage, low survivibility).

When I used S/P Pistol Whip, I got like 150-300pts every sPvP game. Right now I’m trying to play WvW with D/D because the S/P just wasn’t doing it there. Any advice on how to start up a combo, what not to do & how to approach your enemy then kill them very quickly?

Thank you.

You should probably look into Jinzu’s Backstab build then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-udk3CEtc7E

Combo with Bailisk > Preload CnD > Steal > CnD goes off, doing damage and stealthing you > Assassin’s Signet > Backstab.

Or look into Neakz’s Backstab build as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f40ZxsOVVcY

Prefer closer to Jinzu’s combo, but Neakz’s utilities. Haste, Assassin, and Skale just leaves no room for survivability utilities. I’d play around with both of those builds, and see what you like. Practice the string of attacks on the training golems till you get used to it, and go into PvP. Then start playing with the build further and see what you like.

I run 25/30/0/15/0 myself. I liked Jinzu’s combo, Neakz’s choices of utilities (but most of the time I swap out Shadow Refuge for Shadowstep). However I felt that sometimes I’m just no fast enough to catch up to someone while stealthed, so I tweaked it for swiftness + an extra dodge roll to catch up and backstab. Hope that helps.
