Guild Wars 2

Are there any good s/d builds or current meta s/d builds out there for roaming? been trying to get into roaming and i’ve looked at some of the d/d and d/p builds but they arent really my playstyle. :\

I’ve personally tried running soldier’s armor with zerker trinkets and weapons and it’s been working well for me.

I can fight pretty much any build and have a fighting chance to beat anything I come across.

I run a 25/20/0/25/0 build to get the easy 10% dmg modifiers from both the deadly arts and the acrobatics tree.

Traveling is pretty fast with the swiftness/might on dodge with the free vigor from our 15 second heal that gives vigor for more dodges. Pair that with shortboy you actually have no need for signet of shadows. That extra utility slot is mainly the reason why I run acrobatics over shadow arts since I love the amount of mobility the tree gives me in and out of combat.

If you are new to using withdraw set up a key for the about face option in key bindinds (I use c) and give it a try. It works alot like the elementalist’s animations where they simply roll back the direction they are facing even when targeting.

The utilities used are only for roaming alone or with a friend or two. When it comes to zergs switch out

I use a build very similar to the above with identical gear and runes. My only tweak is I sometimes use roll for initiative instead of venom. I try to use as little stealth as possible and go for a swash-buckler type roamer. It took a lot of getting used to and I still have a hard time against the perma-stealth thf, but it is a pleasure to play.

Is it good to go 10 into trickery for the fury from steal for a s/d build?

I usually do. I switch between that and hard to catch depending. I’ll also use descent of shadows at times as well. You’d be surprised how many people will follow you off a drop, so it helps to have a bit of an edge in those cases.
