Use your shortbow poison field on downed people and spam cluster bomb, better than spamming auto attacks for cleave
So literally the basic S/D setup. I mean it’s been on meta battle since the patch update. It’s pretty much the same. Only thing different is on meta battle they took improvisation, and don’t stop over executioner and upper hand. I personally agree with the executioner over improvisation since unlike D/P builds S/D needs the boost in damage. (only reason improv gets taken over executioner for D/P in higher tier pvp is because the rng of having one your skills instantly back up can help out more then dps especially if it would be say shadowstep.)
It’s a good build but the problem with S/D now a day’s is it doesn’t have enough dps which is fine if it had the survivability it use to have.

The poison fields are great on the downed, messes up banners/resses/healing completely but running in on a downed target and cluster spamming is risky and doing it from a range is too slow, sword has easier downed pressure due to the ability to get out but I suppose so does shortbow, whatever weapon you’re on you can pressure downed with
Wow, I thought that name was familiar wave, you played with us last night on your warrior in ranked (BDL). I was on my sylvari thief (Irrilythe).
Anyway, I think I mentioned it in another one of your thief videos, it seems like your damage is low for the tradeoff of acrobatics. In the short fights it’s just not really helping you, but you’re losing 20ish% damage from not taking CS.
I’ve tried taking SA with S/D and it seems to help more than acro right now. The problem with acro is that it really is unnoticeable in short fights, where the damage from CS or the condi remove/stealth steal from SA can change the course of fights in both the short and long term.
