Guild Wars 2

The Blackpowder from Offhand-Pistol and the (3) of D/P are perfect for damage mitigation. My guildies were wondering if the boss we were fighting yesterday was bugged ‘cause it did almost no damage. I just constantly blinded him and interrupted the channeling of his AoE’s.

I had this only in Lion’s Arch in Elona’s Reach so far. Guess it is because of the high population or some sort of stuff.

nope, there are very nice dagger skins later in the game. Also I love my pirated short bow!

The best thing about the dodge caltrops is, they don’t push you into combat while running away but they cripple your opponent forcing them into combat! You remain your speed if you were out of combat + 33% movement for 2s by trait, too

For PvE:
If you have extra initiative regeneration, the cluster bomb is perfect for events. I’m calling my my Short Bow “Shot Gun” because of this. Just spamming the “2” button, while running through masses of mobs, is amazing. The initial damage is good and the bleed is amazing! If I run out of initiative, I use the first attack and get away a bit to see if any mobs are after me (in events thats pretty hard to see besides my health bar)
The Dual Pistols are nice in boss fight imo. But I get to lazy switching my secondary weapon between combats.
For WvW:
I am using Short Bow, too. Still I would prefer having a D/P || P/D, if I had a good pair of both. The Bow is useful for the “5” to get around very fast, maybe the poison field and in some crazy cases for cleaning up concentrated siege attack at the gate or if they break through. If more players spam their AoE that’s 5min of worthless siege for the enemy. Again.. Cluster Bombs!
