Are you talking about WvW, or PvP? For S/D, I’d recommend checking out this guy and his build. Has an interesting take on it.

About Sleight of Hand in general, it’s incredibly powerful with Bountiful Theft, and I run 30 Trickery even though I don’t have any damaging conditions in my build whatsoever.

10/30/0/0/30 is viable, i like to use s/d AND p/d when i play it though, you could also use 10/30/30/0/0 or 0/30/30/10/0 or even 10/0/0/30/30

I run 10/0/10/20/30 and do quite well roaming in WvW. Damage isn’t the greatest. You won’t 1 hit anyone unless they are pure glass, but you can still get a reasonable burst. If you can get someone down low enough that they use their heal and interrupt it with Sleight of Hand (most heals are well telegraphed) that usually throws them off balance and you can burst down their remaining HP before they know what’s up. It can also work decently in a group setting since you get so many dodges, but condition bombs will wreck you because Acrobatics doesn’t have a lot of reliable condition removal.

Just about any sPvP-viable S/D build that doesn’t include S/D as a secondary is viable in WvW. Examples are:

10/30/0/30/0 (Nag Nag)

0/30/0/30/10 (Jumper)

10/0/0/30/30 (Arganthium)

And a few without any specific and designated creators or people who have made the builds rise up to popularity:

10/30/0/0/30 (current meta along with Nag Nag’s, it’s being played by a lot of people but doesn’t seem to have any specific champion, unless Sizer is running it, which I don’t think he is)

25/30/0/0/15 (an odd one, but apparently exists, for some unknown reason)

10/0/10/20/30 (not a big fan of this one, but it’s become better since Acro started becoming less relevant to some players)

There are a whole load of options, and they all vary in playstyle but have the same general flavor. Just try out one of the builds (with SB or D/P in OH, though I’d suggest SB for most builds), give them a little touch of your own preference, and get rolling. S/D is an amazingly fun weaponset, even if it’s been nerfed a ton.

That guy likes Sleigh Bells. You should listen to him.

Seriously, you should.
