Guild Wars 2

Thanks for all the above tips.
I think I got a lot better just by switching to Elixir s. Now I can pretty much tease two enemies at the same time or kill one without much difficulty.
Here are two more questions:
1. Net shot is kinda slow and most of experienced players can dodge it. I only use it after the overcharged shot knocks down the enemy. Or it works only when I catch someone off guarded. When do you guys shoot the net?
2. The shield. I like the idea of using shied against melee classes but the CD (25s and 30s) seems too long to me?

That’s actually right. I used to use Elixir S a lot for pvp but I haven’t played pvp for quite a while and forgot this one………
And as to 10,30,30 build, I figured it is kind of weird choice~

I mainly use rifle, which I think good for pve and most of pvp situation. But pvp against a thief seems impossible to me.
A thief always comes invisible and then does a lot of damage in short time before going invisible again. What do I need to do?
Any tip is appreciated.
PS: Just made a new build with rifle and trait as 10,30,30,0,0. The idea is to increase some toughness for survival. Would it beany good?
