just had the same thing happen to me for snowden drifts.
I’m working on leveling a P/P + D/D build now. It’s not bad, just a little “interesting” to use. 1v1 I can pretty much do whatever I want, but when fighting groups, I tend to stick to D/D. Only lvl 25 atm with this one, so most of the time, I’ll stack up conditions and evade (skill perk that allows me to drop caltrops every time I dodge). NPC’s never seem to learn to flank and the caltrops eat them alive. Mainly, you just have to pay attention to the battlefield at all times because you’re going to have to be extremely mobile to survive. It’s still pretty fun when you get the opportunity to toy with a mob for a little bit before their own stupidity gets them killed.
