I’ve made a build for SPvP. It’s pretty easy, not hard to use and you can kill anyone 1vs1 pretty much. If you’re up against a good Mesmer though, then you’re screwed, (unless it’s a bad Mesemer) but as Mesmers are duelist gods it’s not a surprise. You can kill 1vs2, if you use the blinding powder correctly and your stealth. I hope you like it.

A reminder: I do not use the Skelk Venom healing skill right now as i don’t have it unlocked. Right now i’m using Withdraw, which has a 15 cd, Skelk Venom has 36 sec cd traited. If you don’t like Skelk Venom you can use Withdraw for the low cd.

Edit: The build is improved with the rune Superior Rune of Hoelbrak.

In 1vs1 fights, i activate poisons first, Shadow Shot in, Autoattack 3x, Shadow Shot, Steal, if Venoms reset activate them again, Shadow Shot, Autoattack 3×. When the enemy is at low health use Heartseeker. Downed. Then you stomp the enemy. (use stealth, swap to Sword/Dagger and use Cloak) Dead.

I don’t usually swap to Sword/Dagger. Mostly i use Dagger/Pistol. Sometimes the Teleport(skill 2), Evade (skill 3) and Stealth (skill 5 can be useable).

Why not reduced cooldowns on venoms instead of Improvisation? You only have venoms, so Improv will be wasted 80% of the time you use steal.

Oh sorry. I chosed the wrong trait, it should have been reduced cd on venoms and not the immobilize. Thank you.

Updated the link.

Edit: While looking at the rune i have. Rune of Divinity. That one should be changed to something with either power, condition damage or toughness perhaps.

Superior Rune of Hoelbrak looks like it will be good for this build.

But Shinobi is a live action movie based on an anime so it doesn’t count.
