Guild Wars 2

Has anyone come up with a viable venomsharing build post-patch? If so, can you please share it with me?

This is not my build, but http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Thief_-_Dungeon_Venom_Share is a good baseline for it at least.

Given how it’s relatively easier to trait into compared to pre-patch (only takes 1/9 major traits instead of 1/7, and 1/3 GM traits instead of 1/2, on top of not needing traits for stats), and the increased damage/lack of survivability across the board (and especially on thief), I’ve had great success just tacking it onto a glass cannon build with Basi and Devourer venom in sPvP. Extra team-wide cc support in a glass cannon meta, without giving up huge spike damage or stealth yourself, makes it much stronger and easier to fit into many builds.

Of course, it’s not so great in PvE or large-scale WvW encounters, but I am really enjoying it in PvP right now. That may change if they tone down the damage and the meta shifts away from burst-burst-burst.
