Guild Wars 2

Tankish/medium dps build, with some offensive support

I started from the runes of Lyssa, because I wanted to use a precision rune with some unique propetiers, plus what I wanted to try out a thief that did not die as soon as I got distracted from the game for half a second. This build has some tanking, and lots of dodges.

Shortbow, self explainatory. S/P, because I think skill 2 is very fun, and 3 and 5 are lovely in pve and (maybe?) good in messy wvw situations.
Edit: better link/build site

Full Knight ( tou/pow/prec) armor of Lyssa, knight rings, berserker amulet/accessories (all 5 have the exotic ruby jewel inside, 3% crit damage in excange of a 15 stat is a good bargain).

Assasin signet has to be activated as often as possible. With this skill/equips it gives:
healing (of course)
vigor
another random buff (lyssa 4)
2 initiative
has a cooldown of 12

Signet of shadows is a must out of combat since you have almost no access to swiftness. In combat, +2 initiative + blind + no casting time every 24 seconds, not terrible.

Roll for initiative: awesome to get out of trouble (and bursts) fast

Shadow refuge is situational, “get over here!” hook might be more interesting.

Dagger storm… I just like it for a number of reason, plus at the end you lose all coditions and gain ALL buffs for 6 seconds (lyssa 6)… every 90 seconds.

Can (and should) dodge about 3x times than a normal character due to acrobatics and almost constant vigor (getting 6-7 constant stacks of might in the process, and + 10% damage from acrobatics), support the team with full time poison + weakness + a bit of vulnerability.

About 60% crit chance + 20% fury uptime, 13k hp, 2400 armor, +70% crit damage (so actually +120%). Sigils of +5% crit chance and sigil of blood on the pistol for extra melee staying power.

Now, how does this rate in the pve and wvw metagame, compared to the more classical builds?
What do you think about it in general?

The first bug OP posted happens to me too, so I guess it’s not solved yet… wow. No idea about how to go on with my norn storyline now.

Another bug is that I was able to find this post trough google, but not by this forum search option, looking at either “sabotage” or “vladok”.

With artificer 400 you can craft them for cheap… problem solved
