Guild Wars 2

Was curious what may work best until I hit 80 and can HP train my DD spec. Currently using D/D+SB with Deadly Arts 2-3-3, Critical Strikes 1-2-1, Trickery 3-1-2. Signet of Malice, Haste, Assassin’s Sig, Signet of Shadows, Thieves Guild

And yes, I know that basically literally everything works, just curious if I’m missing out on something more efficient for clearing lower level zones. I usually swap out one of the signets for Shadow Refuge or Shadowstep depending if I need to channel on a point protected by a vet or a rich node or something, or if I just want to move quickly.

Thanks for any help.

Well. I know a shortbow build that literally just stands in it’s Choking Gas and kills things with poison stacks while it outheals any damage coming it’s way. it’s obviously good for moving around as well and is sort of like easy mode for thieves. you looking for something like that?

This is not exact (because i don’t know the exact build), but it’s super cheap to put together and should work very simular. Basically the important parts are Signet of Malice and choking gas.

You can stack choking gas 4 times, it pulses four times, every pulse counts as an attack. You heal when you use a skill that uses initiative (choking gas), and you heal when you attack.Also Choking gas is an AoE. so every pulse attacks any mobs within it. There is a cap to how much healing you can get though, because poison kills fairly quickly.

you can spec for some healing power later on if you need too, but you should not have to worry about it.

can do the same thing with Sword/pistol = pistol whip, run invigorating precision and signet of malice and its a full heal every time you pistol whip.

pistol whip strikes 9 times = 9 heals from signet of malice
pistol whip has a HUGE coefficient and hits 9 times = huge returns from invig precision. I solo’d arah back in the day with this combo all the time and it was extremely effective
