So I’ve recently switched to S/D after playing D/P for a few months. S/D is way more satisfying and fun. I can kill your average roamer in WvW and I’m pretty decent at the build after practicing a whole lot in OS.
HOWEVER, I feel weak against a skilled opponent, almost like I’m playing an overnerfed build or something, it feels like it’s missing that bite that the other metas have. It’s like I need to play PERFECTLY to kill a decent ele or ranger who can make a ton of mistakes and still get by. Don’t get me wrong I love it so far but I do feel so hopeless against a decent ele/ranger/engi that I’m often finding myself refraining from even engaging them. Perhaps there’s something I’m missing? build is 2/0/0/6/6 with mainly zerk and a piece or two of valkyrie armor with precision food.

If you have the Might on Dodge trait you have to think about your might stacks all of the time and keep your internal clock wound so that you dodge regardless whenever it’s ready but not spamming it, it’s paced so that you keep your stacks up but you always have a dodge or an Endurance booster available at any moment if you need to bug out. Some people who are just good with the right class are going to knock you out fast toe to toe so don’t have any qualms about ducking out and resetting or letting them think they sent you packing, and then in a flash you unload you’re big hitters and hope that drops them.
