Title says it all; I would like to try s/d for wvw roaming with offset sb.
All the builds i have found are for spvp or tpvp so i imagine sigils and
utilities are not optimal for that kind of playstyle.
Should i still go with fire/force and fire for sb or bloodlust/perception?
My current skills are signet of shadows, sr and roll for initiative, so i’m not quite sure
wether to exchange roll for shadowstep or shadowtrap. Additionally signet of shadows’
runspeed boost is really nice; will i miss it greatly if i take something else?

Last question: for the typical s/d duelist is the normal gear full zerk or a mixture from zerk and valk? In full zerk gear i’d sit on ~15k hp.

I would suggest that you try
S/D (Force + Fire) unless you fight a lot of 1v1’s then get Force + Air

Reason?
It boosts AoE damage you area already doing with sword. If you 1v1 often I would suggest using a dagger.

Shortbow (Bloodlust, or Fire)

Reason?
Bloodlust is a really nice +250 power, and Fire allows you to dish out even more AoE Damage with Clusterbombs.

Utilities

Shadowstep
Shadow Refuge
Infiltrator’s Signet

This enables you to cover large areas, or to stay on a target that blinks a lot.

While out of combat and running somewhere I will temporarily swap Shadow Refuge for Signet of Shadows for the additional mobility.

and refuses to spare the life in return for the surrender at discretion (unconditional surrender)
of a vanquished opponent.

Ah yes, so it’s basically the same as in spvp :/
I just fear that it will take a very long time to get 25 stacks of bloodlust
with the short bow which had it’s range nerfed to 900.

Oh and: urgh. I hate that wotc released him in a newer edition so everyone knows the name :/ I’ve been naming my characters crovax for six years and it was a reference
to the original card “crovax the cursed” from Stronghold way back in ’98

To get 25 stacks of bloodlust

I would suggest

1. Solo? Kill Coyotes outside of spawn. They will summon a buddy when they get low and you get stacks twice as fast.

2. With a group? Do the same as above but it will just be faster

3. With a Zerg? Get out of the zerg

This is an NPC named after me in GW1 If you are familiar with Stronghold then your are most likely familiar with the Brothers War and how Ashnod played a part as a General. I will keep from telling you the rest of the lore. GL Mate!
