Guild Wars 2

Sword/Dagger and Shortbow
10 deadly arts with Mug
30 cs with side strike, combo critical chance and hidden killer
30 shadow arts with master of deception, hidden thief and shadow rejuvenation
Utility ecc. :Hide in shadow, shadow refuge, blinding powder, shadowstep, thief guild.
With this build i have a great surviv. a decent dps and the foes go crazy couse im always in shadow
What do you think?
(sorry my english pls)

Try change 10 Deadly arts with 10 trickery with trill of the crime.10 sec multibuff can be better than 2-3k mug.Maybe change Shadowstep with Roll for initiative.You will lose some mobility but will gain instant initiative regen+leap away+keep the stunbreak.You don’t have Infusion of Shadow.which is bad for a guy that is “always in shadow”.Just quick random ideas.We can comment a bit.

Edit:Shadowstep is deception,and you have traited along with blinding powder it,so nevermind about Roll for Initiative.However if you are good with C&D,you can stealth just fine w/o high CD utility skills.In that matter you should think about some initiative regen/return traits.

Ty very much ZLE. A question..advise me to change Infusion of Shadow instead of which trait?…hidden killer?
yes roll for initiative and change with trickery are good tips for me…ty

I play a very similar build in tPvP

DD/SB

10 DA with Mug (III)
30 CS with Furious Retaliation (I) & Critical Haste (X) & Hidden Killer (XII)
30 SA with Shadow’s Embrace (IV) & Hidden Thief (VIII) & Shadow’s Rejuvenation (XI)

Utilities:
Hide in Shadows
Shadow Refuge
Blinding Powder
Signet of Shadows
Thief’s Guild

If you change DA to Trickery, i’d leave hidden thief as a shadow step with stealth option and replace the master of deception. With C&D you have more than enough stealth but ofc you also can replace hidden thief. (though, i personally love the combination of Hidden thief & Mug and saves me from the “c&d – steal” combi as a “cheaper” start off)

Trickery or Mug or Acrobatics, it all depends on your personal preferences. While Trickery buffs you and gives you 3 initative with steal, Deadly arts will DPS & poisoning your target and with Acrobatics you could boost yourself with more mobility (swiftness on evade) with as example buffing you to get more might when evade.

But really. Instead of Master of Deception, choose either Infusion of Shadows to regain Initative like ZLE suggested or Shadow’s Embrace for Condition Removal. It saved my life a lot of times.

Infusion of Shadow is Shadow Arts trait and Hidden Killer is Critical strikes trait.So you cannot change one for another.*IF*you decide to lose Shadowstep,you can drop Master of Deception.Infact Shadow arts have SO many great traits:Shadow Protector also works on yourself,Shadows Embrace is priceless,Cloaked in Shadow also.

sorry, i meant hidden thief (VIII trait of SA), lol ^^"
