Will test it later today. I would not have though of combining deep Deadly Arts with Pistol Whip.

But with no condition removal whatsoever……life is going to suck for players not in organized groups.

Hey Senso! Just watched the video. I was looking at the comments. I have to ask if improvisation really does give you that 10% bonus damage with a stolen item or if it is only with a held weapon (ele conjure bow etc.) I saw some comments on your vid questioning it and now I am too. tried looking it up but no one knows! Ive been using 6,2,0,0,6 with d/p since patch (watch meta closely) and have been trying to choose that/sundering strikes/or dagger master.
Thank you for thread and have a great day!

Why on crit sigils when you only have like 39% crit rate? Wouldn’t Sigil of Force be better?

Tachii.3506:

Why on crit sigils when you only have like 39% crit rate? Wouldn’t Sigil of Force be better?

Because most of these Sigils are limited by an internal cooldown anyway and Pistol Whip attacks fast enough to procc it reliably. 40% Crit-chance or 80% crit-chance won’t make a huge difference when it comes to proccing the Sigils.

And the reason you take them at all is for the added burst, no necessarily the DPS.

Anyway, I tested the build an it worked quite well. I don’t have a competitive team so I can’t really comment on that but it did work reasonably well. And that long immobilize catches a lot of people off guard.

But survivability is probably as low as it gets.

O.o Improv does not give you 10% dmg if you have a stolen skill! Gw2 wiki! Only things you can pick up from the floor. But it would be nice if it counts for stolen skills.

Hey dude!

In my opinion, 10/30/0/0/30 is still superior in nearly every situation. Better damage, better initiative regen, and better health. All your build has is panic strike so you have to be extremely coordinated to make that advantage be worth it.

Either way, it’s nice to see people still thinking and coming up with different builds. Take care!

hey guys so i have actually tested a few things now the damage is exactly the same over time i hit the target golem 50 times with both builds once when he was above 50% health and once when he was below so i could get accurate infos
the “old” pistol whip build sometimes hits harder but sometimes you hit a lot lower it all depends on your crit luck

also the new build has the advantage of having the 10% dmg bonus all the time when the enemy has a condi on him which is all the time in tournys
the old one 10% dmg bonus is rarely to proc since you dont have more than 6 initiative most of the time

so my resume between the builds is that my build is more rewarding for players that time their pistol whips well and know how to manage their initiative because the pistol whips are more consistent and steal is more important to the build

the “old” build has a little bit better sustain and initiative regen but depends A LOT on critluck
