Hey guys. I just hit 80 on my first character and was looking for a good WvW build.
I came across this video for the Assassin Thief Build: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcw2P-PnfZk
My question is, is that build still viable? I guess when I think about it, I have never tried spamming pistol whip to see if it works. But that seems pretty OP, so I wasn’t sure if it was still around. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I personally don’t run it, but from what I hear, PW was nerfed pretty hard, and no longer does any more damage than your Auto Attack.

Depending on your play style there are a few decent WvW builds out there, some using P/D + SB, D/D + SB or P/D + D/D (for mainly condition damage builds), as well as a few backstab builds out there (not as viable as it used to be, but still can be decent with the right abilities).

I personally run a D/D + SB Condition build, but would like to try out a slight variation of Scootabuser.4915’s P/D + D/D build (can be found Here.)

Scootabuser has a link to a youtube video as well as a link (inside the description of the video) to his build, with Rune and Sigil setup.

Pretty good watch; at least I enjoyed it.
