Daredevil - Condi P/P Blind Spammer

• Daredevil - Celestial P/P - WvW roaming version of the build.

Variants

• 手法娴熟 - lowers your burst damage but gives you more frequent access to Stealing and turns into an instant interrupt. The CD reduction on Stealing also helps with 活力 uptime which is crucial to the build.

The gameplan of this rather obnoxious 1v1 focused PvP Daredevil build is simple: use 弹跳闪避 in 火药喷射 for stealth, follow up 致命偷袭 for burst damage - repeat until the target dies. Due to its simplistic playstyle it's also quite beginner friendly.

Slot Changes

Utility

致盲药粉 can be replaced by:

• 准备千针万箭 - AoE burst damage that can cover an entire capture point on some maps.

• 暗影纹章 - passive movement speed boost and the active adds a lot of cover conditions to burst combos. The passive also makes it possible to drop 猞猁符文 or 寻路者古物 and take stronger options for these slots.

• 先攻翻滚 - stun break with extra initiative and an evade frame. Also cleanses some non-damaging conditions.

Equipment Variants

Runes

• - by taking this rune for the passive movement speed you get to drop the current relic for something else, but Lynx has slightly worse stats. Your sustained damage will be lower.

• - good stats and the the anti-condition aspect could help in mirror matchups, or against any other condi build in general.

Relics

• - better burst damage and more condition variety on your spam, but has a 20s cooldown.

• - the healing reduction could help you wear down the more tanky builds, but doesn't really add more raw damage to the build as the build only has 1 CC skill by default.

General

• Much of the sustain in the build comes from spamming and stealth attacks.

• Spamming projectiles while inside (BP) is both your primary source of defense and offense.

• If you don't have the initiative for BP or if you're under heavy pressure, use . This is the best defensive skill in the build, keeping you safe from both melee and projectile pressure while also proccing Blind related traits and providing a combo field for stealthing.

• When you get low on HP or you feel like you need to wait for CDs/initiative to come back, simply linger in stealth for a while instead of ambushing.

• is an excellent defensive skill. Not only is it a stun break and instant source of stealth, it's also a blast finisher that can be used inside Blinding Powder and Smoke Screen for even more stealth.

• provides much needed cleansing and another option for stealthing without having to set up a combo field first.

• provides a steady stream of condition cleansing, as entering/exiting stealth frequently is part of your rotation.

  • Other sources of condition removal include 's chain skill, but and .

• won't be used much except for interrupting important skills (such as healing or rez attempts). When used in a smoke field like BP this will not only interrupt their current action, but also makes their next attack miss because of the from the projectile finisher. That interaction also makes this rather strong when you're under pressure and need to survive.

• is mainly for defense. The on-demand evade frame coupled with potential blinding projectiles while used in a smoke field could not only save you from lethal damage but also heal you up. The healing scales with the number of enemy targets.
