Guild Wars 2

Invictorum.7643:

D/D nowadays means you’re going to be running a Condition setup. It falls behind D/P in Power setups.

Essentially, run for a lot of Condition damage, and spam the hell out of skill #3.

^ Note that this only applies to PvP.

In PvE, you can run with the build linked below:

I’ve also heard of people still using D/D in WvW, but I don’t really mess around in WvW much anymore, so I can’t say if that’s really very worthwhile.

@ AChanceOfReign: The reason is because people are running a DA/Tr/DD condi build in PvP that revolves around spamming dodges and death blossom to constantly evade and condi bomb enemies. It’s a very easy to play build which is relatively effective in 1 v 1 scenarios, but I wouldn’t recommend it for higher tier gameplay.

It will be some time before the population rankings change since the new implementation. WvW may get a shake up after the new map is released, but it may still take a number of months.

Remember, though, ArenaNet can’t release just one new server. They must always be in multiples of three (for each region, NA and EU).

Good luck.
