Guild Wars 2

Hi,

P/D WvW build here and trying to understand how to better utilize my last 20 points, go for Venom’s in Deadly arts or Trickery, any advice and insight is appreciated.

this is basically the same thing you probably find what your looking for in this thread.

Imo Deadly Arts doesn’t offer much for P/D.

Trickery gives you extra Initiative which is much need for spaming Cloak and Dagger and some of the traits are actually quite useful. It also gives you the added benefit of Condition Duration.

10 into DA isn’t bad for mug. Even non crit it still poisons (33% less heal) and does a small burst (burst relative to other P/D dmg). The other 10 I choose to put into Acro for Hard to Catch. It’s an ability that you will notice kill you and remove it, but then you will realize just how often it saves your ars after not using a while. It’s basically a buffer for your shadowstep making sure it’s up when you really need it.
