My advice is to get a team mate to kill the SB. Your clones will just ruin it.

This is about the only thing they should fix with it. Its SUCH an easy thing to avoid. If your AI is triggering FC, then you brought the wrong profession to the dance.

I’ve been encountering core necro more and more as well.

I'm always a fan of your vids Helly! Had no interest in roaming on guardian but you make it look so easy! :D

Not that many ways to skin a cat it seems

Great narration...brings thoughts of the movie 300. Not on Gandara but it sounds like it was great fun. Well done!

Lol no surprise there OP. You’re playing on whats generally known as the cesspool server. Not all servers are like that and not by a long shot. Good advice givin already but since you’re linked with FSP, try to find one of their guilds to shadow/learn from. FSP has great players.

> When it comes to Meta Human Female Fashion it's a hard choice between the Scarf Shoulder skin or Nightfury. Both are viable depending on the rest of your color scheme and your headpiece, which is the only item where you have some real options as the rest of your build is set in stone across all armor classes. Players are asking for a direct power creep in the Human Female Meta build (Which is already dominating) by wanting to run both the Scarf Skin and have Nightfury at the same time.

I couldn't help but chuckle. I love the idea of a power creep in fashion wars XD

Yes please! I love my night fury but not utilizing shoulder pieces really messes uo fashion wars.

I use Axe/Warhorn and GS boonbeast for roaming in WvW. Its wildly fun and extremely effective.

I use “gg” quite a bit now.

(the heal of a shout around 2100+ per). I do not use healing signet as in such a build I found either mending (7600+ heal with 3 conditions cleansed every 15 seconds ) or To the limit for a 13000+ heal with 100 END added every 24 seconds much more effective. Adremal ticks are high and supplemented nicely by the shouts more then making up for the per tick heal of the healing signet. Breaking a stun also gives a fat heal via the combo of tempest and rousing. This nice against Holos that like to chain stuns. (Rousing Resilience stun break is a 3000 heal added to the tempest kickin )

It sounds like it has amazing sustain. Definately on the tankier side to slowly dwindle away at someone’s health. Are you using tactics, defense, berserker?

Sorry for the threadmancy, but was curious how you are liking this build since its been a few months now?

Well done again Donee! And thanks for the helpful tips. Love watching your game play

I agree with this assessment.

Could try maybe actively recruiting players or guilds in off prime timezones?

100% agreed. Though I doubt this will happen but at the very least, can one of the borderlands be permanent No Downstate?

Lol same for me. If I happen to land one with a group of 5+ attackers or so, I go buy a lottery ticket.

The disablers are fine as is for the many reasons given. Its so easy to prevent. I actually think they should lower the cooldown on it.

I don’t mind fighting DE’s. I treat them like it’s a whack-a-mole game. Makes it alot more fun for me and I win some lose some.

Like, snap of your fingers powerful!?

Fun video to watch. Thanks OP!

Thank you! Very helpful. Would you recommend keeping shortbow for the offhand as well?

Hello,

I've been encountering more Staff Daredevils lately while roaming in WvW which has peaked my interest in the spec. I've never played Thief before so it will be a learning process for me. I see this build from metabattle: https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Daredevil_-_Staff_Daredevil. While I understand it's more suited for GvG, I wanted to ask the experts if there is anything to modify (traits, armor, etc) for a roaming/havoc style of play?

Very nice. Didnt know this existed. Thanks for posting!
