Guild Wars 2

i run DA/Trick/SA what is better between improvisation and executioner ? and what u choose in the master line of SA? (ty for tips and sorry for bad eng =) )

Exe vs. Improv is an interesting debate and I’ve read much on this forum regarding the merits of those traits.

I think the conventional wisdom is if you are going for burst in PvP (lol as if you have a choice), then Executioner is the pick.

I don’t do much focused PvE so I can’t advise you what would be appropriate in those scenarios.

I did use Improv in sPvP over the weekend, and it has a lot going for it, but only some stolen items are good (thief, warrior, guardian, mes maybe). Since I usually opened with Steal, there weren’t many scenarios where I could count on a skill recharge. If it guaranteed a specific skill type, like, say, BV, then you could build around it in sPvP a little bit.

yea the build i use is for sPVP, ty for tips =)

I have that same problem where I more often need to use Steal before I have things on cool down on the utility side and it’s also very rare that I use a stolen item twice before dumping at least one in favor for a specific item I know I’m going to need a step or two ahead.

I agree with this. Executioner will trump improv for me due to its reliability. I can always use additonal damage, but being able to use the stolen abilities twice is not always optimal, even with the RNG chance to reset my heal or other abilities. Perhaps part of this is due to being so used to not having two abilities to use when I steal since I’ve had almost 3 years of only 1 stolen item.
