What’s up GW Community

I know this has been done plenty of times and is the typical two button IWIN build but, I’m starting a series on my YouTube channel that I would like for everyone to partake in if you’re interested!

(I also realize this build is NOT completely 100% made up by myself, just what I currently play at the moment from a few asking.)

Feel free to drop by and check out the channel, and even SUBSCRIBE if you enjoy it!

nice video (again) ! I have played about the same build for a while, except that i switch the damage sigil to haste and shadow refuge to the shadowstep. When i played it i normally popped balistik venom, then i used shadowstep to get closer, then i used steal-cloack and dagger-backstab-haste-stomp, and then to get out i press shadowstep again and im gone But now im going for power/vitality/thougness gear to be more tanky, and im also going to change my traits to 0/30/30/10/0 … we will see how that will work out!

Again, very nice video and keep up the good work!

Ok…..so I’m not sure if this video is supposed to be promoting your build/play-style or be an example of why not to play it.

You displayed quite well just why nobody plays such a pure glass-cannon in WvW…because it’s a kittenty build to play that has no room for skillful play. Hell even in tPvP most people prefer to use 25/30/0/0/15 as the extra Initiative allows for a few more Cloak and Daggers or Heartseekers.

I’d have also though that “5 Might on Singet use” might be a better choice than some of the ones you picked since you’re running with 2 Singets anyway. Use both for an instant 10 Might…why not?

Also with over 50% Crit-Chance, Fury (+20%) on Steal, Sided Strikes and Keen Observer you already have an effective Crit-Chance of over 80%.

Hidden Killer isn’t worth it with so much Critical-Hit chance.

I suppose you’re right in most cases Dee Jay. I guess I forgot to mention in the title, “NOT the best build in the world” but I agree with some things you said.

When you say no one plays this build in WvW your wrong though, I’ve seen plenty if not a majority playing it just so they can get in, nuke, and get out.

Also, when you say there is no skill involved I have to disagree. Yeah there’s no skill if your a thief that just goes in and kills and gets killed, but it takes skill/quick reactions to be able to get back out after you’ve jumped into a group and taken out one of their members.

It’s not difficult.

It really isn’t, pick up infusion of shadows in shadow arts, maybe patience for insurance and u can pretty much live inside the enemy Zerg with just CnD , you can make some new friends while your at it
