This is what i run in WvW from time to time:

which is pretty much a standard 2/0/0/6/6 S/D evade build
(switching 1st utility and elite situationally)

It works well for small roaming (i usually duo) but not so much in solo.
I really like it because of the great utility that it brings in the fight between daze/stun/interrupt/immobilize, very situational bp field (costs too much to use it over a PW which will make you evade the damage anyway)

I did try switching for valk armor w/ traveler’s runes going 2/6/0/0/6 which will kind of give you the same stats but around 20% more crit dmg BUT for group play i like few more evades better.

It doesn’t work as good in solo because it gets very initiative expensive and it is very hard to pin down a good enemy to get some damage in while you will be very squishy and quite predictable. Maybe for solo i’d go with critical strikes because i find that the longer the fight goes the lower will be your chances to come out on top

Haven’t tried it in sPvP

On a related note why would you go 4/4/0/0/6? Is there something i’m missing? Wouldn’t it be better with 6/2 or 2/6?
