Could you please post your build? Really inspiring video
To me it looks like 0 0 30 20 20 or 0 0 30 15 25
Running with blind, condi clear, and healing on/while in stealth. Not sure what out of acrobatics. Pretty sure I saw bountiful theft and thrill of the crime from trickery.

Essentially this is just a P/D play-style with a Power build.
You resort to S/P very rarely and even then mostly for non-essential stuff. P/D is clearly your preferred weapon of choice even in situations where S/P might have actually been quite powerful (like against that Warrior).
In general I’m not very impressed by P/D videos because they’re all the same 1-trick pony just messing about in various different situations. The fact that this build has Power instead of Condition Damage doesn’t change that fact.
But I will credit you for being kitten good with hitting Cloak and Dagger even in chaotic situations.
Good to see some more Thief Videos! We need to do some more PvP
(Preferably live-streamed and shout-casted like last time)
A victor gives no quarter when the victor shows no clemency or mercy
and refuses to spare the life in return for the surrender at discretion (unconditional surrender)
of a vanquished opponent.
dont be afraid from sicthem – long cd pretty useless
against warrior its very easy fight but can be long one as they tend to run and heal and engage again. just cnd sneak and shadow strike
if you down and stomp dont dodge but try to cnd first and dodge as ppl try to res so you have target on your face to easy cnd
nice fight and good cnd hits but power with p/d even though i tried it as you with s/p just pull you too much to the p/d setup so maybe try p/p as seconds weapon

Yea sic em in a 1v1 is not a problem its when there are 4 or 5 other guys around its becomes an issue. When It come to warriors I dont fear losing to them its just the fights can be long and I have much smaller room for error missing one dodge or a cnd can almost mean insta dealth . Also as you saw in the video when they get low then just occ in about 2sec though as a thief I can’t really complain about the ability to disengage.
Reasons for playing pd/sp power build are because pd condi is not viable in a group setting. The condi pressure is just not enough and your allies are like to go down b4 the enemy. Though there are exceptions to this rule eg running with other stealth classes, venom share, and pd is a great solo roaming build. By running a power version of pd I for the most part bring more upfront damage and with sp I bring cleave dmg, decent burst, interupts, and smoke fields its just really useful in group setting.
Thank you for your advice and comments.

I have no idea what’s even happening on my screen… How is it even possible in this day and age to record a video at such a miniscule resolution? Seriously, this video takes up about a third of my screen, and it’s one big blur if I go into full-screen.
Anyone who says Zerk is the average Joe build is an average Joe.

Guildwars’ rather non-optimal optimization is possibly why. Guildwars uses the cpu more then the graphic hardware and running a software recorder has a very noticeable impact on this limited resource.
