So I do the WvW. Im still running zerker with maxed deception. It does what I want it to. But I want to build something radical. Something were if I do fight, the fight will last forever and potentially leave my opponent or myself banging my head against the wall or just give up and run away. Any suggestions? Im looking for something different. I mostly solo roam, avoid combat and kill yaks. When there are no yaks to kill I like to troll as many players as I can find, be it one player or 100. The latter of that is a bit risky with a zerker build but I do it for practice none the less. Im thinking of staying with deception and building vitality, toughness and healing power or something along these lines.

From experience, PVT will leave you to hit like 8-year old girl. You need at least more critical rate, critical damage and possibly more power to rival a BUNKER BUILD of any other profession, in terms of damage.

Have you tried a pistol/dagger build? I would go with condition damage if you’re trying to make a ‘bunker’ build.

Dodge speced p/d thief with sword as secondary weapon to teleport around. That’s an excellent troll build.

also p/d offers perma stealth…which is the best “bunkering” thieves have access to.

BEEEEEP. Wrong. If P/D offers perma stealth means D/D and S/D allso offers perma stealth which is false. D/P offers perma stealth through blackpowder+hs if traited right.

Wait, the OP said that he only kills doylaks and avoids fighting whilst trolling? Why do you need any survivability at all? Just troll them with shadow return on sword #2 with any gearset….

Run S/D → D/P for max trollage. Use sword 2 a few times, switch weapons, BP → HS to run away. Rinse repeat. Pretty boring if you aren’t going to actually fight anyone

Not true at all…I run this armor set with ruby Orbs and Zerker everything else and I still get 5-6k backstabs…

Don’t hate the player hate the game

Ok…here is my build (D/D, Condition/Health Regen). But keep in mind it is gear oriented and expensive (or was before new event). Link is missing the new ascended apothecary back piece.

Use your stealth to gain regeneration, don’t use your heal (Sig of Malice) except under extreme circumstances and be patient. Stack your bleeds/poisons and weapon swap for extra health/bleeds. It is also good to get downed players up quickly.

I have try it with this variation of food buffs and blood lust sigil which does provide a quite a bit more power to the build.

Either way will keep you alive for a long time.
