Guild Wars 2

Hello guys, I am pretty new to PvP and WvW in this game. I was wondering if you guys have any builds i could use for these game modes.

I have created a build but not have tested it:

Post any builds you have and give me critiques on my build.

Thank You

Looks like a all or nothing burst build rather than a dueling one. Either way if you are running dagger/dagger you need to have infiltrators signet so you can have more than just mug to land your CnDs.

Edit:
Since you are running the 100% crit out of stealth you might want to drop the trill of the crime trait and go shadows embrace in SAs instead. The fury overlaps with the 100%. A very common variant of WvW thief similar to yours but with a little lower burst and much higher survivability especially in 1vX situations is 2/6/6/0/0. In Spvp most people drop the SA and go 2/6/0/0/6 with d/d.

The crucial part with any d/d build is to make sure you time your CnD to mug/infiltrator signet so that it hits, for example wait till the roll or if they havent seen you. Otherwise you will have blown an important gap closer and you initiative without getting the stealth you need for your 100% backstab.

Thank you for your input. You don’t think shadowstep can close the gap? Or are you saying to put more gap closers in. And I meant you can post dueling builds not necessarily my build being a dueling build.

This is greatly dependent on the game mode you’re playing in.

D/D burst DOES NOT WORK in sPvP. Period. It might kill a few really bad players running really ineffective builds, but otherwise the damage overall is too low and your durability is far from what is necessary within the format. You’re better honestly running soldier’s + Hoelbrak on 2/6/6/0/0 in sPvP than anything aggressive like that.

If you’re looking for WvW burst, however, something like this is optimized for damage/assassinations, but will not be an effective skirmisher.
