S/P,P/P, 0/30/0/20/2, Withdraw/SoM, Scorpion Wire, ShadowStep, SoS, Dagger Storm. And I found it good at holding ground against melee mobs, and passable in WvW, but useless against bosses like Jormag, lacking in recovery ability when Black Powder becomes useless.
I was wondering how stealthless thieves fight Jormag, and how they counteract the ticks oh its custom condition.

you get hit in the jormag fight?

Best thing to do is just stand in the safe spots, if you get a few hits of the frostbite and such hit your heal skill.

I’d say that some of the answers depend on your character build, but here’s some quick ones.

1) Superior Runes of Lyssa & Basilisk Venom – If you’re bothering to run Lyssa runes, then it could be useful to run Basilisk (even though the venom’s effect won’t work on Jormag).

2) Signet of Precision – This will help to save your life and possibly the life of those around you.

3) Sigil of Purity / Sigil of Generousity – This can work if you’re a Precision based build and you’re willing to switch target to any of the trash mobs. Once you generate the condition removal proc, you can switch target back to Jormag. (As a mostly non-stealth S/P build, I run one of these sigils on my SB.)

We are Test Group F. (Don’t ask about what happened to the previous Test Groups.)

10/30/10/20 with s/d p/d Zerker armor— Trinkets: x3 Knights x3 Cav Ruby Orbs in armor and Beryl in Trinkets. Withdraw/ShadowStep/Signet of Ability/Signet of Shadows

Signet CD Reduction, Remove COndi In stealth, Vigorous and Quick Recovery are musts.

Have fun with a great stealthless(ish) evasion build that can brawl in zergs.
