here’s one with a s/d thief that throws himself into a 1v2 for 9 minutes before dying. it’shief, pretty entertaining. skip ahead 6 mins for it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Siqrr3YBVY

If you don’t skip ahead, you also see the guy take down quite a number of other thieves including HS + haste spammers with a simple daze and autoattack. Had the poster not been a S/D thief with copious amounts of stunbreakers, he would have died much earlier in the 9 minute fight.

Surely, but in a 1v1 matchup (assuming 1v2 too), S/D thiefs are way more powerful than D/D thiefs. The daze is so broken in this kind of matchups, especially in a thiefs duel. However, D/D has such a good nuke in teamfights (zergs fights) that is more valuable to play D/D in WvW even if you’re not such a good duelist than S/D.

As you can see in this video, even the title says about duels, and not zergs fights. Just the firts few minutes are sufficient to see with that kind of build, you can’t burst someone down quickly, finishing him and moving away from the fight to recover CDs if needed.

As I said, and as you can see, it’s not a bad build, you really can enjoy with that spec, but in my mind, duels in WvW are nearly inexistant (the first fight in the video is enough to understand why) and because D/D is better assuming is more than 2 opponents. You clearly can say this build is better in sPvP than in WvW

Pretty common build instead you took the 10 points in acrobatics to put them in deadly arts
