You can also move to another area after finishing everything in the area.
Every level range has at least 2 zones you can play in

And if your server is doing a wvw raid, join the sieges for good exp

How damaged armor works stat wise

If the armor is still yellow, it doesnt affect stats.
If you damage (yellow) all of your gear, next time you die, the armor is broken (red) – it doesnt have a visual appearance and stats

Happen sometimes when I run dungeons. I saw my mates naked after dying a lot.

How to level fast?

Crafting. Going 1-400 in a profession nets around 10 levels in experience and can be done in as little as 30 minutes. It’s not cheap, but it’s fast.

This.
and dont expect to lolstomp everyone if you level this way, since you wont get much skills as you usually get from exploration and normal playthrough

depend on your preference,
I use rampager over carrion for more precision, direct damage is more useful when you want to kill someone before they enter towers/keeps in wvw

Are you sure you count as an ally for Shadow Protector?

yes

Hi,

Looking to play mostly WvW with full Rabid and +bleed duration runes and trying to assess the value of certain traits and looking for advice.

1) Exposed Weakness (10% more dmg if target has a condition): Does this increase bleed damage?

2) Pain Response(regen when you drop below 75%) Vs Assassin’s Reward (heal when you use intv): Which heals more?

3) Leeching Venoms (steal health when venom) Vs Shadow’s Embrace (remove condition every 3 sec in stealth)

1. I think not
2. I dont use it myself, but I think Assassins Reward
3. Shadow Embrace

Im also using P/D build, very similar to yours

you can trait for increased dagger damage instead of vulnerability on crit, I find it more reliable dps increase.

have you tried might / init on signet (crit strike 2 & ?
It’s pretty good with SoM and SoI

  • Make it impossible to down someone in stealth.
  • Make it impossible to regenerate health while in stealth (abilities/traits will be changed accordingly)
  • Getting damage while in stealth breaks stealth
  • (Rangers will get the ability to see stealthed enemies)

:)

do you play thief?
stealth doesn’t always saves you

I prefer Burst fights and Long … must try both first and then can choose one. But need buidls.

search for Wild Bill in Youtube for P/D condition build
Im running a variation of this build, and I can stomp ppl in the middle of zergs, and win most 1v1 fights

Some assistance for a new level 80 thief

Here are some potential trait milestones for you to aim at. Think about these and pick what you think is best for you.

Deadly Arts 10: Vunerability on Crit. Not bad if your geared includes a good chunk of precision.
Deadly Arts: 15 points gives you weakness in poison. Weakness is a strong condition and you can apply poison with dagger autoattacks and steal… and also apply it by the truckload with a shortbow!
Deadly Arts 25: 10% increased damage when an enemy has a condition… so 10% damage increase all the time.

Shadow Arts 10: Regeneration on stealth. If you’re using a dagger offhand and plan on going into stealth often this is nice. (it also works on you)

Acrobatics 15: This is almost like “you can dodge 3 times instead of 2”. Very strong.
Acrobatics 20: Initiative regen. Initiative is your limiter on skill usage, so more regen is great. 1 per 5 seconds is a lot.

Trickery 10: Buffs while stealing are nice.
Trickery 15: Some people love this, I don’t find this that great because it just increases the max and I prefer increasing regen, but this does make it easier for you to stay over 6 initiative for the damage boost from Critical Strikes.
Trickery 20: Even more buffs when stealing and also ripping buffs from enemies.

I’m currently running 10/30/20/0/10 I believe (I hope that added up right lol)

however I notice you don’t have an option for 20 in shadow arts, would you recommend retraiting those points?

And isn’t that many points in deadly arts only useful if you’re running a condi build, really? Or am I mistaken? I’m aiming for a melee DPS kinda build atm, that can go S/D but also be viable if I were to go D/D (just by changing a few traits around)

And yet another question: as far as equipment goes, what should I aim for kitten D that isn’t looking for glass cannon set up? I want to be able to survive a hit so I’m not sure if I should be taking Power/vit/whatever set with berserker accessories, amulet and ring? And Power/precision weapons?

Deadly art traits are mostly useful if you’re playing venom builds.
Shadow arts is actually pretty good for dps; 25 shadow arts gives you 2 might on stealth, and if you stealth a lot, you can get 4-6 stacks of might every battle (more if you trait might on venom)
