Guild Wars 2

So, i’ve been messing with S/P a lot since the patch as honestly it feels better than S/D atm, although I now struggle with meta thieves due to the auto attack speed and blind. To be expected, but still.

A lot of people say that S/D needs a damage increase because it didn’t get the same power creep other classes got while it’s main defence got nerfed. Would a trait that increases the sword attack speed help solve both problems? I’m thinking like the engi trait for rifle, 10% for reference. I believe warrior has one for sword as well.

So what do people think? Good or bad idea? Not enough or too much?

I think increases sword speed sounds nice. It’s kinda lame that Dagger auto attack kinda does more damage than sword auto attack to be honest. It’s so fast and crits so many times that your sigils are more likely to proc.

Imo it doesnt need dmg increase just more sustain to be able to deal their dmg.
It also hardcountered by blind and block because of the slow hits. If the first auto was a double strike while leaving its dmg in total the same that would be a fair change.
