Hi there,
so I haven’t found my actual specc anywhere and so i wanted to ask what you think of it.
I put in 25 points in deadly arts – 10 in critical strikes – 25 in shadow arts – Trickery
I just ignored the passive attributes you get from traits – the only thing i wanted was dmg through bleeding and get invisible as often as possible.
deadly arts – (III) Mug – (IX) Dagger Training – the 25 points are just for the 25% of condition duration
critical strikes – (V) Pistol Mastery – your main weapon will be pistol so this is not too bad i think
shadow arts – (VI) Cloaked in Shadow – with this you can solo anything in pve because you stealth every 4 seconds or so and in PvP it’s also not bad – (V) Infusion of Shadow – you need that to constantly go into stealth.
Trickery – (V) Thrill of crime – boons are always good
So the way i play is not really tricky it’s just using cloak and dagger in your offhand to get into stealth and do dmg with your sneak attack – so it’s Pistol/dagger combination.
In PvP this works just fine with most of my opponents – due to my slot-skills shadow refuge and blinding powder i can go invis 2 more times – if it’s an emergency because of range or maybe you don’t have anymore initiative for cloak and dagger.
the last slotskill is roll for initiative which i sometimes switch in pve if i don’t need a stunbreaker.
I don’t know if you like that specc but i do get along very good in WvW – PvE – sPvP so far. Maybe it’s not perfect but it works great so far … i have about 10-15 stacks of bleeding on a target usually plus 6-8 stacks of might-boon so that’s not too shabby i guess
The gear i use is mostly power – vit – condition dmg – the runes are 3 krait-runes and 3 afflicted runes. In PvE i change it a bit to get some more precision but in PvP i like some more life – just in case
The weapons-sigils are – agony-sigil on pistol and corruption on the dagger – my 2nd weapon is as to be expected a shortbow – with a sigil of agony for pve and a hydromancy sigil for PvP. The Bomb is awesome for aoe dmg and lots of bleeding stacks and the shortbow is the best weapon to get away in PvP
So i hope you like this maybe you think it’s crap – I’ll still like it
