Guild Wars 2

I have a question.
What is better for WvW roaming and outnumbered fights S/D build or D/P ?

Frankly, being outnumbered depends on your utility skills. and your overall skill.

Stunbreaks are a must if you want to survive 1v2-3-x
Elite skill like Dagger Storm could really reverse the tide in your favor.
Teleports for extra confusing.

But you asked weapon wise, so here is my answer:

S/D is great for dodging, and sustainability. Cloak & Dagger requires you to be close to your target. So you need to master that perfectly.

D/P is great for chasing and access to stealth is available without a target. You need to master that just as perfectly. I personally find D/P more initiative-costlier than S/D.

choose your weapon. test your might.

I’ve played a lot of s/d since the patch after maining d/p prior to the patch.

Basically I think d/p is stronger, especially in outnumbered fights. The ability to disengage and stealth on demand along with access to blind and excellent gap closers make the set great for outnumbered fights.

That being said, if you prefer the playstyle of d/p feel free to play that instead. I’ve always felt that since the patch s/d isn’t quite as strong, but it still shines in outnumbered fights if you are able to use LOS to your advantage with sword #2.

If you’re not solo roaming, I think d/p is a better set. For small man support, the ability to blast stealth (#5 + sb #2), stealth yourself on demand if pressured or while looking for new targets, having an on demand ranged interrupt, and a 900 range gapcloser that does excellent damage really makes the set have great utility for small group fights.

If you’re solo or playing in a small group with classes that cannot stealth themselves (like Ele) I’d go for S/D. I find that S/D makes you stand a chance against every single build out there, while D/P only makes you stand a chance against other heavy Power builds.
Now especially when outnumbered, I find that evasion works better than stealth but that’s personal opinion.

For outnumbered situations in an organised group, I’d go for D/P though.
The ability to coordinate a burst is key and D/P allows every tool that you need for that.

if you fight for instance 1 vs 3 ( war ranger or necro )
For me s/d is easier because d/p stealth access can be interrupted by range or necro.
