Stats
- You might still have some success with full
Celestial stats, but against high sustain specs the damage might be too low, and most of the defensive stats aren't necessary anyways since you spend most of the fight avoiding attacks through blind/evasion/CC/stealth spam. Cele however is still useful for providing a base amount of survivability without sacrificing too many offensive stats.
Equipment Variants
Relics
- - the extra healing reduction could help you kill other high sustain builds.
- - higher
Vigor uptime which is great for various synergies like stealth stacking (your dodge is a blast finisher).
Consumables
Food
Utility
- Optimal: or , whichever is cheaper (the difference beween them is negligible, a grand total of 2 condition damage stat in favor of Tuning Icicle).
- Budget: either from Canned Food Crates found in WvW s or purchased from the Permanent Portable Provisioner.
Usage
General
- Drop .
- Dodge.
- Repeat.

Ratings
Extremely obnoxious to play against and very easy to do well with it, but there's very little you can do on tis to outplay an opponent. Which is unfortunate when your damage isn't enough to bruteforce a win because then you'll end up in a stalemate.
Thanks to the new Shadowarts changes this build has become incredibly effective, for how easy it is to execute. If you dont greed with this there is no way your dying. Very high stealth uptime and the option to permastealth with your smokefields and Bow 2 + Boundingdodger. I am having great success with it, especially in 1vX situations. Personally i would run "cover of shadows", if you spend your Initiative wisely you will have enough even without shadowsrejuvenation and the extra Protection turns you into a raidboss.
