Rifle Build?
i tried knight gear with soldier runes, for survivability first but ended up with full zerker as you want to burn down oppenents as fast as possible and i didnt have much survivability issues.
For me this build is a lot of fun, i am highly mobile with GS often roaming in the areas around my zerg and tagging + bursting down stranglers, you can also burst down easily defenders + attackers both on the field as well as on the wall.
with full adrenaline i usually autoattack a target 2 times for bleed (10% increased dmg), then set up a kill shot followed by a salve, the result if all hits look something like this.
1k, 1k, 12-17k , 3k , 4k, 5k, 7k, 9k usually that is enought to burst anybody down, feel free to charge in with bulls rush though and finish it off with gs in melee
Gs for defensive and offensive mobility together with bull rush + mobile strikes (movement skills break immobilise) i usually can disengage on a leisure.
the only shortfall of this is if you are jumped by a very good thief when alone as this build does not really excell in infighting and the stealth makes it hard to create distance and deal ranged damage.
A well timed bullrush + HB can can kill an overconfident thief though.

oh lol that’s exactly the same build i use for rifle. I couldn’t agree with your more about thief , i usually switch to melee when i encounter one sad
disclaimer this build is squishy and dodges are needed when you get close. I am not saying it is the best build ever (there IS NOT A “BEST” BUILD) but it is very fun (IMO) to drain some ones health at a distance, then if they do get close you can smack them with rifle 5 or swap to your dual swords and stack hella bleeds and torment.

I personally like using this for pve pvp and wvw.
Full zerk armor/weps
Not for someone that just wants to kitten around, dodging is needed, due to zerker armor/weps.
So if you find sniping people and tossing a sword to quickly draining health and aren’t afraid of getting downed (can typically rally from the condi damage) try this out. Once again .. you are squishy so make sure you know how to dodge.
Please no forum trolling this post is simply to give someone a build to try
