Hi everybody, I’d like to ask a question strictly related to pve and stacking.

In a dungeon stack situation where you can’t flank for any reason against a single target, which rotation deals more dps, d/d aa chain c&d backstab or s/p aa chain, pw?

d/d auto should deal more than a frontal bs. s/p does less dps than dagger auto but s/p evades and stuns with skill 3

S/p also cleaves more targets and depending on the build can be much more efficient due to quicker hits. I can make a literal pw spam build for pve only because of stacking.

Yes but BS triggers revealed training.

I’m aware of cleave on sword, I was thinking about boss fights. I think I came to the conclusion that d/d with front stabs deals more damage anyway by testing it on golems in the mists, but I may be wrong. Thanks for the answers anyway.

Assuming you run combined training and signet of malice, s/p with a mix of pistol whip and autoattacks does more damage while stacking. I’m told this is because you’ll be over 90% health more often with s/p than with d/d, so you’ll trigger the scholar rune effect more often, in addition to the extra 5% modifier from combined training. This is the supposedly the optimal dps for a stacking encounter where you can’t get behind the boss. If you’re running a suboptimal spec (dagger training, no scholar runes, no signet of malice, etc.), then d/d does more damage.

I don’t PvE very seriously, but this is just what I’m told by a someone who does.

If the Boss is walled and Not “cornered” than you can backstab his sides. No need to go for the back. I habe no clue what Deals more dmg between These two sets
