I play backstab/daze build in wvw and still prefer that for wvw, but in spvp I have found that it isn’t about how much dps we burst off in seconds but how much dps we can continuously dish out while staying alive and not having to reset combat.

This is the build I came up with in the moment without any research: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQNAqYVlUmCN3ey8E95EB3Djy0mqf4m9Mw6VB;T8AgyyuEcJ5S1liLqvMfJ+y+l7L5XLIGlMLA

I don’t use stun breakers because I am stealthed like 90% of the time. Dropping caltrops and applying bleeds with pistol.

It works out pretty well. I just wanted to start a discussion on it and see if anyone had any suggestions.

I included gear and sigils as well. Comments on all would be welcome. Even from doing the calc it noticed I might want to use undead runes instead of nightmare.

I don’t like death blossom build. I don’t find it as effective as p/d for bleeds.

Just another noob thief…

Yes. I have suggestions. Delete all the jewels, as you can only have 1 in spvp. You are using 4 extra carrions. Also, for pistol based bleeds, you’ll want +50% condition duration, instead of piling on undead condition dmg. Remove the purity sigil. Get shadows embrace instead of shadow protector. if you still need extra healing, remove fleet shadow and put assassins reward. You need sigil of agony. Force is for power builds. And bloodlust. This is not www. How about a 0/0/30/20/20 spread? just suggesting here, but its ur choice.

Adapt or die. I never die.

P/D build is crappy for tpvp…

Can’t kill them fast enough before their teammate come.

They can contest a capture point if you’re in stealth.

This is my build for tPVP (P/D condition)
Works well in heavily contested capture node points.
Caltrops/Choking gas slowly nips away at people who try to capture the node while a bunker build distracts them and I poke at them with pistol coming in/out of stealth.

Thanks. I replaced force with agony on my dagger and are you saying bloodlust on my pistol?

Bloodlust is also for power builds. I use Corruption
