Rotation/gear/traits provided by Leder. I adjusted Shroud rotation for better uptime at a modest DPS loss.

Alternative rotation by Senapi that uses longer Shroud loops to shore up Alacrity uptime:    • Guild Wars 2 | Condition Alacrity Spe...

Shroud rotation is different here. When you Enter Shroud, let the game autocast Skill 1 once, then do the normal 2 → 4 → 3 autos → 2 → Exit Shroud

Why? Without that extra auto, alacrity uptime is quite thin. So why an auto at the start rather than end?

When you Enter Shroud the server needs to swap to new skills, and if you don't quickly input Shroud 2, you'll waste time doing nothing. This gets worse with higher ping. This shroud adjustment lets the game take the wheel long enough to cast the skill (0.64 second), then the player provides input.

Alacrity Specter can't use Quick Pockets in the opener because we need to get into Shroud immediately to start providing Alacrity. It also lacks the Torment damage modifier from Strength of Shadows grandmaster, and Twilight Combo was nerfed with the release of Secrets of the Obscure. Combine all these factors and a Bleedfocused Deadly Ambush build with DaggerDagger can pull ahead in damage, rewarding its meleerange animation locking with a noticeable damage boost.

Siphon is now used before entering Shroud. This wastes the Kleptomaniac proc, but it allows us to instantly ramp 10 stacks of Might for our subgroup. The damage loss is minimal, especially now that Siphon applies a lot of Bleed thanks to Deadly Ambush.

If you're in a mobile fight where the boss won't stay put in your AOEs, you can swap Caltrops to Devourer Venom/Skale Venom. For even more mobile fights, consider playing the old Scepter rotation with Quick Pockets and Torment food.
