I’d like to hear some comments on using full Valk armor/weaps/trinks + beryl orbs/jewels. Using all exotic except neck which is the ascended berserk/valk combo (hate PVE so not considering the other ascended items) and rare cav back (lazy). Should state this is for WvW exclusively.

D/P main (Force + Fire sigil), SB (perception sigil) 2nd weap (mainly for blast finishers and when zerging)

Heal
Hide in Shadows

Utilities
SOS (lazy), SR, SoA (to compensate for low precision and since shadowstep is so borked at the moment)

Trait Points
0/30/30/10/0 (no surprise here for D/P)

Traits
CS-I (fury @ 50%), PT-VI (5% Prec -> Vit), HK-XII (100% crit chance in stealth)
SA-V (2 init on stealth), SE-IV (remove cond in stealth), SE-XI (regen health in stealth)
AC-VI (50% movement speed in stealth to position for backstabs)

Food
Bowl sweet/spicy Butternut Squash (100 power, 10% crit damage)
Master Maintenance Oil (precision bonus of 6% tough & 4% vit)

Stats:
3171 attack
49% crit chance with 25 stacks (37% with 0 stacks)
2300 armor
19585 health
115% crit damage

I know I give up the 250 power/attack by using perception instead of bloodlust sigil, but in this setup I really like the extra health as a buffer for any mistake or being caught offguard. Curious to hear other’s thoughts.
