Guild Wars 2

Burnfall secretly wants to be a thief but he sucks at it so he rolled a warrior.

S/D is definitely viable in WvW. The set consists of many evades such as shadow return and flanking strike which makes you nearly untouchable. The daze from the stealth attack (tactical strike) is also quite effective. In my opinion this is more of a team based build, mainly for spvp. It doesn’t seem like a heavy hitting build because of the lack of points invested into Critical Strikes which provides consistent DPS. The points in the Trickery line also doesn’t really comply with S/D because the set isn’t based on conditions. I would recommend first using 10/30/30/0/0 , which seems to be the most popular S/D build as it provides heavy damage (Executioner, XI – 30 CS) and suvivability (Shadow’s Rejuvenation, XI – 30 SA). Once you’re comfortable with the rhythm of S/D then you should experiment with different traits.

For utility skills I would recommend replacing Assassin’s Signet with Shadow Refuge for stealth and a quick burst of health if you’re using the trait Shadow’s Rejuvenation (XI – 30 SA). The active on Assassin’s Signet isn’t useful because the passive is basically doing the same thing.

As for weapons, use berserker for more p/p/cd%. Don’t use bloodlust sigil unless you have a spare weapon. After you get your 25 stacks of bloodlust there is no more use for that weapon. Use superior sigil of fire (AoE dmg) or air (single target dmg) on your sword. For the dagger I would use sup. sigil of accuracy for more crit chance % to proc the sword sigil (fire or air) more often which will increase the dmg output. For SB its your choice, although i would not use sup. sigil of leeching but rather superior sigil of fire.

Your armor is okay but you may have to change it up because you have too many cavalier trinkets. You lose so much precision with cavalier so I would recommend mixing it up with knights/berserker. You want to have at least 50% critical chance for consistent DPS.

And for buffs, upgrade your food to Bowl of Truffle Ravioli and your oil to Master Maintenance, but if you’re low on money its fine with what you have.
