Guild Wars 2

I’ve ever used all ‘5’ skills on my hotbar…

Really? Thats interesting, what skill did you not use previously?

I already did it with shortbow, s/p or d/p.
I’m still not using 4 when using dagger off hand unless i want to laugh at how bad it is.
As for pistol main hand… yeah i sometime forget it actually exist.

Game is out for 8 months.
Only now using 5 skills on bar.
Dagger 4 still sucks.

skills 1 2 3 4 and 5 suck…..on p/p…..skills 1 3 4 5 are supar or suck on SB………. shall i go on? not asking to be buffed to the moon but idk…more variety woudl be nice.

I lol’d at this. Sure pistol sucks but to say all the skills suck is just plain ignorance or pure exaggeration. 3 is a solid single target dps, 4 is the best defiance stripper in the game and 5 is a crazy good smoke field.
About sbow, 1 is junk now that it can barely land against anything that moves but 2-3-5 are still godlike. Glad you realized 2 is great but not admitting 3… cmon. Same dodge duration as your dodge and it only costs ini which also crippling the guy you may be running from. It’s pretty kitten amazing. 5 isn’t USUALLY good in combat but it’s great for disengaging or catching up.
4 is junk for everything and anything unless you have an ele trying to get their heal off with armor of earth on, a bunker engi is about to go pick up all his medkits, or if a shelter guardian is using that annoying heal. Even if you’re a condition thief it’s rarely worth it to drop the poison field.

3 is a solid power skill? its on par with dagger auto attack….just to keep it in perspective. :P if u think any of the others are great ur just wron glol….yes 5 is great. HOWEVER i specified with a qualifier “p/p” therefore and hence ….being BAD :P

^

and 5 on sb? not good for catching up. well i guess i should qualify that too since there is shadowstep…..infiltrators strike….infiltrators signet….steal……skill 3 on d/p and heartseeker which all give better distance per intiative/skill than a 650ish range infiltrators arrow. 650ish!?!?!? woah woah woah wait its not 650…its 900…..well techincally true but really its not. :P

I use all the skills on D/P.
All the skills on S/P.
Usually only 4 of the S/D skills.
All five SB skills.
Only three of the D/D skills (one of the many reasons I never approved of the weapon set)
Never really used P/D but I’d imagine that I’d only use 3 of the skills there.

with p/d you use skills 1 and 5 ….rarely 3. i mean you CAN use all ur skills but 90% of the time ur using the same ones to maximize initiative via benefit. you can poison on sb with skill 4. but the bleeds+dmg is like 5x more dmg with cluster bomb skill 2 for same amount of initiative. :P all depends on situation but maximizing effect per initiative …..gotta use same skills……d/p and s/d use them all decently varied.

Yup. In any /D set when the stealth attack is strong you end up just doing 5-1, heartseeker being exempt since it’s cost effective. S/D was the same until they nerfed Tactical. P/D gonna stay 5-1 majority of the time until the other skills get better and/or sneak attack gets toned down. Legit.

Eh. I was never a P/D player myself. I kinda half-liked the concept of Shadow Strike, but I do think it was definitely a bit weak. On the other hand, I’ve always been a bit iffy about CnD. If it hits, it’s fairly cost effective, but if it misses- which it often does- then you’re going to have a bad day.

yeah people dont know it misses atleast half the time….so slow thats why. also p/d is my backup bc i use it when i run into thieves…..its kind of a must when playin against a d/p player. p/d bleed 5 0 30 30 5 is best overall build in game….high condi dmg…high condi removal….22.5k hp…high heals….high invis…..high CC removal…..reapplication of condis are fast……only thing its bad against is d/p condi removal :/
