    A somewhat viable D/D build for WvW ?

    It's a Valkyrie build with Hidden killer which I use to just cheese people using CnD and Backstabs.The idea is literally just to CnD and Backstab, and if I can't kill anyone I just run.It's so bloody cheese and it's so inflexible, so I really recommend against running what I run. I just run what I do because I like it that way.

    Oh yeah on that note, how come you run Valkyrie, and not Marauder or Berserker ?

    Here's one that relies a lot in rng steals to recharge util skills. Shortbow should be used defensively while your burst window is down. Steal is the key ability so ut shouldn't be spammed off cd. Mind that imrov trait has a 20sec icd whilst swipe's cd is a bit lower.http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PawAgiVlNw2YXsMGJOMXrtUA-zVRYBRHdRME6jR7CoeCIdA-w

    This one uses SA for a bit safer gameplay. Flickering shadows can be used if you struggle vs power builds (forgot to swap runes in thai one, doesnt need vigor from runes since it runs bountyful thief.)http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PawAgiVlFw2YXsM2Je2WntUA-zVRYBRHdRME6jR7CoeCIdA-w

    Feel free to tinker around with runes, stats and food!

    How would one go about to bursting with these builds ? That's probably a question I do need to ask, Stealth Backstabs ?

    As I put in the title. "For WvW" :P

    Here's me offering my opinion for WvW :I feel like D/D is less about "a good build" rather how good yu are at awareness and knowledge of yur own limitations vs the enemies yu will meet.D/D doesn't have nearly enough leeway that D/P or Rifle DE enjoys, and they burn way more utilities for their rounds of attack because without Signet Shadowstep, yur engage options are really too limited.

    As such when I do play D/D I run this :http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PawAgiVlFw2YXsMGJO6LqnfA-zVIYT0xXKtVA1lA9GBdHCKNA-w

    Maybe I should try this build.

    So I have been playing Rifle, Staff, S/D, D/P, S/P Thief, Deadeye, Daredevil.. Basically I've played a lot of builds, but there is one build I have not found yet, and that is a build that utilizes Dagger/Dagger, I know, it is not the best weapon set, but I made my Incinerator, and I want to use two of them.

    Does anyone have a "good" D/D build they could share ? Im not the best build builder, as proved by my question here.

    Why should Snow Crows be take responsibility for the actions of other people, that have nothing to do with them?They only provide information. What other people do with that information doesn't fall into Snow Crows' territory.

    They can do what they want. But they're not getting a cent from me until they actually start caring about helping normal people clear.

    Uh, that's not their job, it's by their kindness they are sharing these builds to the public.

    @UmbraNoctis.1907 said:@UNOwen.7132There is so much straight up wrong that i can't be bothered to point out every single thing. This ...

    Yeah except nothing is wrong. If there was something wrong youd have an actual argument, but alas, you do not.

    @UNOwen.7132 said:"Stealth" useless for defense.kinda tells enough anyway.Worse yet, the "you cant be targetted" part is only
    partially
    correct, as for a second or two after entering stealth, attacks continue to track and hit you. So, with a short enough duration, stealth may well do
    literally nothing
    . Thats why its useless for defense, and why good thieves dont use it for defense. If youre fighting and you enter stealth, you want to drop it ASAP, as staying in stealth is essentially giving the enemy free hits while unable to fight back.

    I don't think I have read anything more wrong in my life.

    • "Ranger has more stealth" — Ranger only has Hunter's Shot unless they're playing a pretty weak trapper build that will get eaten alive by Rifle pokes (they can't Power burst and they can't pull you into the traps like Dragonhunter can). And Druid has stealth on Celestial Avatar but fighting that build means you're not getting hit with massive burst from Soulbeast.Well, actually we have GS 3 through Smokefield from smokescale too.

    Totally beats thieves tho. :^)

    Geforce Experience would require me to figure out what my login was. The windows 10 tool doesnt seem to work. Fraps loved to crash things. Thats the thing, the tools tend to bug out, and Im not about to spend time debugging.

    Make a new account on Geforce, request new password, login with facebook.

    Get on twitch and stream it, get on discord and stream it. So many options here.

    And each of them more effort than its worth.

    The proof of burden is on you, you know, you are willing to argue it, but you have to provide evidence too.

    I had explained this before, but more important than your swiftness degree is how much of your movement is done using dashes. Their speed doesnt change at all. And Ranger and Warior spend more of it.

    I don't understand how you're willing to argue this for days but refuse to make a video to prove your point. It's time to either put up or shut up.

    this is what happens when you use your pride.he knows he is wrong but he is too full of kitten to admit it.

    Well we humans are humans, we will defend something that we know is wrong, just because we do not want to be wrong.

    @Solanum.6983 said:I play both and a thief's shortbow alone gives it more mobility than a ranger, remember that you can use it to quickly climb up some vertical surfaces. Theif is also the stealthing class, Shadows Refuge will give you more consecutive seconds in stealth as one skill than a druid leaving celestial avatar, using longbow 4 and then 4 traps with rune of the trapper.

    Longbow 4 is a knockback. Longbow 3, Hunter's Shot, is the stealth.

    I really want to know how ranger can outrun thieves. Perhaps I can finally catch them then.

    It's a bit hard to catch a class that not only has like 3 teleports in a row, but also 3 dodges, that travel further than normal dodges, ontop of Swiftness ontop of the shadow art tree.

    I really wanna know how.

    Because my Swoop does not cover the same distance, last I checked. Even with Gazelle there is no way in Tyria I can catch up to a thief that really wants to flee.

    What if Raids became Dungeons?

    @Aizza.4950 said:I don’t think raids are inaccessible though. I took my WvW guild and rounded up 9 people and taught them wing 1 and we cleared it within a week. I think they’re too easy. This group that I literally just taught raid mechanics and builds to 7/10 of them can now clear wing 1 in 2 hours.

    And here we have the problem mate, I would think 90% of the people who want to clear raids dont want to sped 2 hours on 1 wing even when they are newbies.Then honestly, they should not raid. You have to learn to be good at WvW, you have to learn to get good at sPvP, so why not raids ?
