Guild Wars 2

Having fun with S/P. Wanted to post another video of the gameplayin this point spread before a transition in to other builds (probably still S/P for a while, have a strange amount of fun with it!).

Over-all, this build (30056) is very fun. There will be an upcoming video with 60053, which is also extremely fun, both are surprisingly survivable in group context due to their mobility.

Another alternative, 50036 does probably the most amount of damage while retaining Sleight of Hand, outside of 6 CS, which ofc sacrifices feline grace. I think overall, S/P stealthless/lite can survive in all of these trait setups while having fun, high risk/reward encounters.

Taking Blinding Powder, along with the SB Blast, makes black powder a nice super-stealth for your group as well and gives you an extra ‘out’.

I must admit that S/P 26006, with sigil or rage/air and critical haste, is much better in a duel. I think, in the end, I may slot sigil of rage in any s/p build, because it generally fires off on the opening.

Anyhow, I hope you find this short video entertaining!

Outstanding vid. I love S/P, so your play is something of an inspiration to me as someone who is just starting to get into fighting other players and trying to learn not to suck. Would you mind if I message you in-game with some questions? I don’t want to spam the thread with them :P

That was a pretty nice video. I liked the music and gameplay, and it was nice to see someone running around without SR on their bar.

That was a great vid. Really liked the text explanations in the bottom left. I’d love for you to make more of them. I really enjoy SP (really don’t like dp)but i wasn’t sure how to play it effectively. I’m going to try your build and see if it helps. Nice job!

Thanks all!

Sure anytime

Thanks! I’ll still swap to it if I see group mates in trouble (mainly cause I warn them ahead of time I don’t have SR and to request if needed!), but otherwise I feel like a well placed x/P Black Powder+SB or Blinding Powder serves the same purpose in most cases. I do really miss x/D access to stealth tho.

Let me know how it goes! One thing you may not like is how exposed you are to enemy focus. It helps if you stay way back in fights, and Sword #2 + steal in to engage (from way back, once your select your target), always keeping the ability to return.
