Guild Wars 2

5/0/30/30/5 (Poison on Steal)

or

0/0/30/30/10 (Uncatchable or something else)

Currently running the second but I’m not sure if the little caltrops circle from dodge ever catches anyone. You lose 50 condition damage as well by switching to the above but instant poison to cover bleeds is useful.

This would require me to steal more, I always forget.

Another issue, Pistol mastery in Crit Strike line? Really? I’d like to take it but CS doesn’t work with condi builds.

Where else? If you have build for damage for the +10% to be effective, then CS is an effective trait to spend points in, if not, then the +10% don’t add all that much.

Do you need the 3 initiative every 45 seconds from Kleptomaniac? Uncatchable or Flanking Strike sounds ok but if you are willing to give them up, do you need Kleptomaniac or could you spend the 5 points somewhere else?

yes, not sure I need the trickery stuff at all

if you put ten in crit strikes you can get pistol mastery, but does the ten percent bonus affect the bleeds or just the shots?

this is exactly what i run. lol used to get some haters on it bc they prolly didnt understand that it works well. i use uncatchable bc sometiems yes a zerg will catch you when ur not ready and it gives u that extra chance you need. also i sometimes just run 0 0 30 30 10 for the caltrops but depends if ur roaming or not. if not raoming than just do caltrops or somethign. poison only good if ur alone.

yes you do want kleptomaniac bc there will be a few occaisons here and there where you might miss 2x CND and need an instant boost of init for another chance

I am now going to try this – I want to test the on demand poison and weakness.

Don’t think I’ll miss uncatchable or fluid strikes. Wish I could have pain response.
