Guild Wars 2

Hi guys! I know s/d has fallen a bit out of the meta but i still love playing with the set. Im thinking of changing up my build to something like this, possibly using the new CS trait. I know a lot of you think its complete crap, but with the already fairly high healing from food, sigils, and assassins reward i think it might compliment the rest of my healing nicely. Anyway thoughts? Would you feel comfortable with this solo?

Copy-Paste fail.

Even not knowing your build I can say the only s/d build I like is 10/30/0/30/0.

Darn. When i saw the OG link i posted i just kept it there cus i figured no one would look at the thread until i fixed my fail. You kittened it up :’(

Anyone?

I mean it’s a nice build overall. not much else to say really since most S/D builds follow the same formula. You got nice condi removal. Excellent. Evades for acrobatics…really I can’t say much else. An alternative to SR is BP for quicker stealth as well but play how you want. My alternate build uses SD as well and goes 10/0/10/20/30, SA only used for condi clears, utilies nearly the same as yours, Trickery is very nice for sword builds but its optional. But don’t listen to me, play your build, it looks well rounded. only thing is the full on in SA is what im scepticle about..I feel as though you didnt need to go all the way in there

I only went 10 in SA, double checked the link to make sure. Wondering if i can do better with the gear, and if maybe blind on stealth or infusion of shadow (to turn into more 3 spam) might be worth it

Whoops then I mis-remembered, then carry on anyways, the build looks solid. You don’t need Trickery for the sword as for gear, its hard to say. Honestly for now Id say the best thing is to field test this, and see if you need more hp or toughness.

What if i tried 0/30/0/20/20? Poor condi removal, but if i can just evade them in the first place then thats even better. And long reach and bountiful theft are sooo good

Now don’t bite my head off for this, but in that regard why not go 0/10/10/20/30 only being that since you werent planning on going sleight anyway, you can go for Thrill. That combined with Power of Inertia will steadily increase damage output the more you evade. But that’s just theorizing with what you have. If it’s for WvW I would take At least some decent condi removal, esp with an SD build you can’t evade everything all of the time

EDIT im tired scratch that, dont go 10 in CS youd might as well put it into DA so try the original build. Maybe split up Acro for some trix? or go 0/20/10/20/20
