I tried the build above and it is wrecking people in PvP. I wonder if it can be adapted for WvW as well. Agreed on these points. Owl is seriously kitten good guys. Still hits for 5k, has a disengage, and Spiritual Reprieve heals your team for 6.4k + Resistance. Stout for invuln and another stun break. I tested s/t + a/d, and sword is just trash. Old school condi bunker also just doesn't work due to very low dmg output. Regarding weapons, axe/d is the obvious choice, but it really doesn't have great sustained damage output, and has no cleave. Winter's Bite is probably one of the best abilities in the game though. MH dagger does seriously good sustained damage, especially if you run Poison Master, and gives d/d a pretty high damage output. The main reason to go for it though is for additional sustain from Pred Cunning. It's significant, especially when paired with a poison trap. I don't think hybrid builds have any pressure. Tried them, faced them. I feel they lose to LB/GS as well as any full condi build. So that rules out GS for me. What's left is...shortbow, but then you gotta run Skirmishing line, which is actually really great for d/d/sb with Healing Spring and Poison Trap. Shortbow actually has really solid damage output when paired with Sharpening Stone or Vulture Stance. This is what I'm running now, and it's probably one of my fav dueling builds. This sounds awesome. Do you have a link for the build? Just use this guy's guide. His poison master stances build got me to Plat 2 easily. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/104347/dagger-dagger-pvp-soulbeast#latest
