Overview
Greatsword and Dagger build for large-scale PvP. It does a great job at CCing enemy groups and dealing quick damage while being part of the flank team of any zerg. It can deal a lot of damage quickly and has short cooldowns, making it easy to switch between targets while playing on the sides of the fights.
Attributes
Strength
Dexterity
Perception
WisdomIn this build, focus on investing points into Strength and Dexterity as they are the main stats that will increase your damage and also increase heavy attack chance and skill damage thanks to 
Vital Force. The health increase from high strength stat is particularly important in PVP as it offers great survivability. However, as you progress and your gear improves over time, you will want to aim for 60 points into strength to make use of the extra HP and heavy attack chance. Dexterity should be your secondary focus to improve your critical hit while the rest of your points should go into perception.
Skills
The Greatsword & Dagger build is a great choice for those looking for a challenge in large scale PVP. The build does well in flank squads and assassin groups, capable of stunning an entire backline while also offering great utility by catching enemies out of position.
Your main damage skills are 
Death Blow and 
Guillotine Blade along with 
Gaia Crash. However, 
Devastating Smash and 
Cleaving Moonlight shouldn't be forgotten either as they provide extra mobility as well as an important stun. Level them to purple as soon as possible! 
Brutal Incision is also a very good skill to level as you can use it to execute targets below 50% HP.
Precision Dash is one of your important mobility skills. It allows you to bind multiple players by crossing through them as you use the first cast of your Precision Dash. The secondary CC skill is your 
Ascending Slash and shouldn't be forgotten as they combine perfectly into each other.
For passives, prioritize upgrading 
Robust Constitution to boost your health and health regeneration. Pair it with Vital Force, which synergizes well with Robust Constitution and significantly enhances your damage output. Additionally, 
Assassin's Instincts for increasing your critical hit rate. On the defensive side, 
Shadow Walker is highly versatile, as it can be triggered at any time by simply using 
Block Blade. Keep in mind that you don't even need to roll, just pressing block suffices. This passive also activates whenever you use 
Shadow Strike, aiding in damage sustain during your CC rotation.

Rotations
- This rotation serves as your main group CC and should normally be used to CC a group of enemies before the rest of a zerg can react. While you can start from within
Camouflage Cloak, the skill is better used for escaping and resetting the fight.
- Look for a target before using Shadow Strike to bind and silence your target that is grouped up on top of other enemies. Follow up with Devastating Smash that will stun all nearby enemies before you use Gaia Crash to deal high AOE damage. Use Shadow Strike again to teleport back to your initial position and out of harm's way.
- This rotation serves as your primary kill rotation and it begins with Shadow Strike to bind and silence your target. If your bind succeeds, use Ascending Slash to trip (Prone) your target and then use Gaia Crash to deal quick damage while they are on the ground. Continue with
Stunning Blow and Death Blow before finishing them off with Cleaving Moonlight.
Precision Dash: This is the skill you should use if you have the chance to go through multiple enemies with the first cast. Look for Sword & Shield players pulling enemies into a clump before using this skill to help by binding them. While it doesn't give you the ability to return where you were before using it like Shadow Strike, it greatly increases your heavy attack chance so it can be used as a general use skill to close gaps on enemies.
Phantom Smokescreen: Use this skill to protect yourself and your group from 
Merciless Barrage or other ranged attacks. Keep in mind that some skills still go through this but you can still use Phantom Smokescreen to bait enemies into pushing closer and catching them with Shadow Strike.
Camouflage Cloak: This is your get-out-of-jail-free card. Use it when you are getting focused or have to reposition. It can also help reset a fight and cooldowns after taking down a target. There are numerous other ways to use stealth, so feel free to be inventive!
Block Blade: This is the key ability that distinguishes between skilled Greatsword and Dagger users and less skilled ones. You can employ this ability to increase your damage and evasion, helping a lot with your survival. This skill also increases your damage if you are using the 
Lequirus's Wicked Thorns.
DaVinci's Courage: Use this between fights to regain health and boost your health regen and attack speed. Don't forget that this also affects your party and can be used along with others for quick heals between engages.
Useful Information
- Select Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it provides essential protection with its shield, which absorbs damage equal to 50% of your mana. While the shield is active, you also gain a 40% Cooldown Speed boost. Although the shield is valuable, ensure to maintain it for as long as possible to maximize the duration of the increased cooldown speed. Remember, the guardian will be lost if the shield is depleted, so be mindful of that!
