Guild Wars 2

Hi guys, what is your opinion about this? Which is the best build for you in tournaments? At moment i’m using a build based on hp/crit.. not the tipical “deadly shot” because i think it’s better to be more competitive and usefull for the team.
Anyway i found a lot of “pure damage” builds, hide&crit, but seriously low hp/def, just deadly shot and nothing more. Show me your opinion about it

well its sad to see no reply, so here is my 2 pence…..personally i am playing with 2 builds at present, trying to decide myself

one build is 30 in deadly arts and acrobatics with the leftover 10 in critical strikes, the other is 30 in deadly arts and critical strikes and the leftover 10 in acrobatics.

I have played both builds quite a lot in sPVP and cannot make up my mind. less damage vs more hp or the other way around….

generally also i am d/d and sw/pistol with haste, signet of shadows, blinding powder and dagger storm on skills most of the time (though i am playing with more unusual skills as well).

what i will say is though tbh though other than some aoe like death blossom you are never going to be a huge ‘team’ player i find doing sPVP with guildmates (tournaments soon which is why we practice in sPVP). You simply do not have many support skills other than the AOE stealth and perhaps smoke screen (though i find that pretty much useless). As a class we are better off solo killing the runners, or taking one person out then running/stealthing.

My necro is much more ‘team supportive’, and as much as i have tried i simply cannot see how you can ever be that good as a support role/group role other than as i mention fast killing the weak/slow/running, we have little to offer to our teammates.

its sort of our job afterall as assassins, and if you are more a support person i would suggest (no offence meant) that thieves are not your class.

lets see others opinions and then maybe i shall change my mind, its just my opinion ofc

My Condition Thief Build is great for team play. Or Solo.

You are right, so sad to see not replies.
Anyway i think that the assassin role isn’t so highly sought, just because ok, you can 2shot their dd, but you’re also easy to be killed..
That’s why i did this post, just to see how the other sPVP players use it.
But.. how i see, noone cares about.. So sad.

Anyway my build at moment is 30crit 30 shadow 10acrob and mixing this “crit build” with some hp items (like runes, necklace) i got an usefull way for the team. Not so much deadly, but in the same time durable in pvp.

If people are interested to this topic I can also post my build, just to listen your opinions and compare yours.
