Daredevil - Condi D/D Permadodge Roamer

Skill Variants

Utility

Viable choices for the optional slot:

• - endurance refill and more condition removal.

• - AoE burst damage + soft-CC. Could make all the difference vs more tanky Cele builds out there. Quite good at taking camps too.

• - low CD offensive option with mediocre damage, but it does provide some setup with the Immob and healing reduction via Poison.

• - great defensive skill that adds another stun break to the build. It can act as a time-out button, giving you some time for endurance/initiative/other CDs to come back up while you're heavily pressured and out of options.

Note: you don't have to use 4 daggers for this build. If you only put a mainhand in set 1 and an offhand in set 2, mechanically they'll work the same as having 2 full weapon sets, which allows weapon swapping. This could save you some gold on gear. The only reason to have 2 full weapon sets here is if you'd like to use a different set of sigils for each.

Equipment Variants

Relics

• - better condition variety, but it's less bursty than Fractal.

• - huge boost to your already great passive healing, but it's usually the relatively low damage of the build that's going to be a problem so you should be better off with an offensive relic.

Stats

• A full set of Celestial gear would also work if you can't get Trailblazer or already have a Cele set, but the build doesn't scale that well with Power and your condition pressure will be lower.

Consumables

Food

Utility

• Optimal:

• Budget: either from Canned Food Crates found in WvW s or purchased from the Permanent Portable Provisioner.

• Honorable mention: - with the amount of healing and evasion uptime this build has, it's actually somewhat realistic to have a near permanent uptime of this consumable in combat. It could even be considered optimal. If however you're not confident in your ability to stay above 90% HP in combat, or you find this too expensive, then other consumables are fine too.

General

• Spam dodge and . Dodging costs 50 endurance, DB costs 5 Initiative, rotate these two in a way that you never run out of both resources at the same time. If you do, use weapon swaps and various CDs to keep going.

• Try to weave in some dagger autoattacks for the when you aren't pressured.

• Swap weapons on CD but make sure that you're missing at least 1 dodge bar's worth of endurance.

  • Tip: try swapping weapons right after you dodge. Dodging shoots 3 projectiles at enemies via , these could almost instantly apply ensuring that the proc can't be avoided.

• Use on CD but make sure that you're missing at least 2 initiative and half a dodge bar.

• Evading attacks passively heals you, restores intiative, removes conditions and damages opponents.

• Never use , keep it for the passive healing. View as your actual healing skill - the rapid attacks combined with the signet's passive can heal for quite a high amount, and this healing scales with the number of hostile targets around you.
