Guild Wars 2

I think if we take GM trait in CS which gives us health on every crit+signet of malice+ superior sigil of Blood+Assassin reward+(maybe)Rune of Dolyak+

Will we take enough HP regen?

Isnt it a chance on critical hit for the GM trait? Or is it always on a critical hit?
Would be kind of cool to see this type float up and be decent (everything is “viable” apparently…).

Funny… write “Isnt it a” but with a ’ between the n and t… it will be censored…

it might be in a p/p with SB build. only way i see it.

scavenger runes
ricochet…

ETC

Maybe try runes of vampirism , a sigil of blood and the omnoberry ghost with a 0/30/20/0/20 build.

Then use leeching venoms/som / and this trait. You might build up some serious heals on an unload. damge will likely be lacking.

20/30/0/0/20

pistol(blood)/pistol(accuracy), sword(fire)/pistol(accuracy)
DA: sundering strikes, combined training
CS: pistol mastery, combo crit, new trait
T: Thrill of the Crime OR Flanking Strikes, Ricochet.

I’m currently using a similar build(with executioner), using some makeshift equipment(loads of valkyrie stuff in there) from my backstab build.
I can imagine it doing fairly well with oil, leech food and a healthy mix of assassin, knight and zerker gear.
As for dungeons, you just fire away with your pistol against soft targets, while you pistol whip everything, which comes in large packs or with devastating AoE, which needs to be evaded. In WvW, it’s fairly fragile.
It works both in dungeons and small scale WvW, but I have yet to gauge the overall efficiency, especially, once executioner gets dropped for the new trait, it might be surprisingly stable in wvw. For WvW, you may wanna drop sundering strikes for mug, tho.

It will be interesting to test in some builds! I have a feeling the reward will be quite poor though, especially when taken with other defensive/healing traits since it depends on your offensive capability. It looks like the idea behind this trait is to give some sustain when building up offense, but for that to work it needs to be a significant heal, otherwise it won’t be worth taking due to low armour. I’d rather it be a chance to gain aegis on crit, obviously with an ICD. Block some incoming attacks while fighing better fits the assassin theme than some vampirism.

They probably generate a pattern for each censored word and use it to search the post, for example if "pie" was censored, it might produce "(?(?=.)(\W)p|.p)\W?i\W?e(?(?=.)(\W)|)" which would be replaced with "\1kitten\2" so that something like P!I!E wouldn’t bypass the censor. (\W means non-word-character). That’s how I’d do it anyway.

Yup. Doesn’t seem like their using a good one though… “isnt it a” isnt the only case where it “bugged” or made a false positive censorship… :P

Go full apothecary with a 0/0/30/20/20 build with leeching venoms, signet of malice, and stack conditions with cluster bomb/choking gas
