Introduction

Thank you for showing an interest in [Teef]! We are a social, multi-profession, multi-server and international guild that focuses mainly on the discussion and review of the thief profession. Our inter-profession experience and testing allows us to provide good feedback and we do so through discussions in a free environment. We appreciate your curiosity and would love your support, regardless of your main profession.

Guidelines

1.) Representing is not required. All that is required is that you maintain contact through a guild chat. To set it up, follow the instructions here.

2.) Drama and severe ignorance is not tolerated. If you are not willing to learn from someone experienced in the thief profession or you are not willing to learn in general, then you are not welcome in the guild. That simple.

3.) Follow the ToS.

Thief Type: Artisan / Teacher
Server: Sea of Sorrows
Experience:
Played thief since the second prevanilla launch as my main. Been fairly active since the game started, and have experienced the profession through all the various balance phases up until now. Routinely experiment with skill and trait interactions as balance patches come and go, keeping an eye out for new bugs and/or interesting behaviors. I know the ins and outs of the profession, and am keen to teach those who are open to my suggestions.

Server: Northern Shiverpeaks
Experience with thief: Only been playing Thief for a few months before HoT came out but I’ve been mostly enjoying it. The mobility hooked me and now with the added mobility of Daredevil I’ve found it difficult to play another class. Just looking to get better at my favorite class and this seems like a great place to do so.

IGN: J R I P P E R
Thief Type: Scholar
Server: Stormbluff Isle
Experience with thief: Played on and off since launch. I’ve always loved the mobility of a thief. Mostly playing around with PvP though I still do a lot of PvE content. This sounds like a cool place to learn more about my favorite class.

IGN: Dark Infiltrators
Thief Type: Scholar
Server: Fort Aspenwood
Experience with thief: Played on an off for a few months. But with HoT I really like the new specialization so I’ve been maining thief as of late. I do PvE & WvW but would also like to get into sPvP when I’m more confident. Looking to learn as much as I can and additionally passing on what I have learned. This sounds like a great opportunity to learn and grow.

Has this thread been moved? I hope I will find it again to add all of you – welcome to [Teef] btw =)

IGN: Cain Scargreaves
Thief Type: Artisan
Server: Piken Square
Experience with thief: My first and main character has been a thief for a little over 2,5 years and recently completed his elite specialization. Besides him I have 3 more thief characters I use to try out new builds/ideas and have fun with. I can usually be found in PvE, but have some experience in PvP. This sounds like a cool guild to get fresh ideas and discuss my favourite class.

IGN: Captain Lucas
Thief Type: Artisan / Teacher
Server: For Aspenwood
Experience with thief: I’ve played thief for 3 years now in both PvE and PvP, I am decent at PvE and know a little bit about thief roles, but I have mainly played PvP over those years. More specifically I play sword dagger, I have played that build for about two years now. When sword dagger hasn’t been meta I can play a pretty average dagger pistol. Sword dagger is easily my favorite build in the game and I have been playing with it a lot since HoT/Daredevil has been released. I would love to pass down my knowledge of the build and work with others to bring thief to the best point it can be.

IGN: Marixtus
Thief Type: Scholar
Server: Northern Shiver peaks
Experience with thief: Thief was my first character, I enjoy playing PVE d/d sb with. But when I venture in WvW or PvP, I realize that I don’t know much of the class. I would like to better understand all the different aspect of the game and what I could do as a thief to be usefull when I go in PUGS and not get the usual “Do you have another 80 like Ele” type of comments.

IGN: PanZielony.2843
Thief Type: Artistian/Teacher

Experience with thief: playing since launch with some breakes, used to roam on WvW but now i’m mainly doing PvE stuff (mostly solos).

IGN: Kallist Nemain
Thief Type: Artisan
Server: Dark Haven
Experience with thief: I’ve played Thief since the first pre-order Beta for Guild Wars 2, and currently have 2 80 Thieves(one DPS, one CD.) Generally I solo in PVE content, and 3 man most of the Dungeons/Fractals with 2 friends, but have done my fair share of WvW as well.

IGN: Newolyn Vidal
Thief Type: Scholar
Server: Sanctum of Rall
Experience with thief: Thief is my only character really, could never get into any alts (still have yet to even start my rev past the tutorial). I’ve been playing since the beginning —albeit with a few breaks. I mostly play PvE but will begrudgingly go into the other modes when it’s needed. I want to get into raids and fractals more, but I lack the group of friends to do it.

IGN: Sîmbà
Thief Type: Teacher, Artisan
Server: Far Shiverpeaks
Experience with thief: Been playing Thief for a really long time now. I mostly did speedclearing in groups and soloing as thief. But since dungeons are dead I barely do those. I run fractals everyday and I know useful tactics, optimal builds for different encounters etc..

IGN: Dakurri Tyrant
Thief Type: <Scholar
Server: Yaks Bend level 80
Experience with thief:
Played pistol/dagger and short bow at game launch. Guild and friends stopped doing WvWvW so i got disenchanted and moved on to archage and other games .. Basically back after 2 year break and staring at a thief i forgot how to play.

IGN: Puz
Thief Type: Teartisan
Server: Piken
Experience:
I’ve played ‘sneaky’ characters since I can access a computer. Online starting with d2 assassin, through daoc sb/ns and in any games in between and since. The type I’ve liked most was that I:A in SW-ToR, because it could combine sneaky burst with healing/dotting in one main (different specs ofc).

GW2:
In GW2 I main Thief, being 90%+ of my playtime. In the last year I’ve played standard D/P, Cheesey P/D, tested venom sharing (but hated it) and had a dabble with S/D. In the past I used to wvw 90% of the time, but lately I haven’t had much time, so I’ve been doing some pvp when I get a short run nowadays.

Invites sent to each of you! Leader says sorry for the late invites.

Can I join? I probably won’t represent, but I do want to try and make thief builds. I find myself on the gw2 thief forum a lot anyway.

IGN: Shendri
Thief Type: Scholar
Server: Tarnished Coast
Experience with thief: I’ve had my teef since the game came out. I’ve tried a bit of everything with her. I went from sneaky backstab, to venoms before it was cool (and after it was cool). Right now I’m working on getting hero points for the Bo collection and figuring out a new spec for PvP. When I played WvW, she was my main for scouting. I am not good at the class, but I enjoy it.

IGN: Gaebril Roisin
Thief Type: Scholar
Server: Gate Of Madness
Experience with thief: Played a Thief when the game released. Recently returned and got a Thief to 80, my first ever! Would like to learn more about the class as I find it the most enjoyable to play, and I feel like it forces me to play better or I go splat :p

IGN: Nyyon
Thief Type: Scholar
Server: DragonBrand
Experience with Thief:
I have never really settled on a main class but have recently been looking at thief as something to stick with. I have some PVP experience with the class and could be somewhat useful to a team pre-HoT, but have been struggling recently and hope I can have help getting better. Currently I have been doing mostly PVE (map completion, world bosses) with the odd PVP match but hope to make it more frequent. Once I get the right gear I may do some WvW with the thief.

IGN: Vynilla
Thief type: Scholar
Server: Kaineng
Experience with Thief: I’ve been playing thief every since I first started playing guild wars 2. I loved the mobility, the glass cannon aspect, and I’ve always enjoyed playing rogues and thieves in other mmos/rpgs. Thief was my first 80 so I’d really like to learn more about this profession. <3

IGN: Mira Revyn
Thief Type: Scholar
Server: Gate of Madness
Experience with thief: I’ve played thief on and off for just about three years now (along with other classes) but I wouldn’t call myself great at being a thief lol. Either way, I’m always looking to improve and switch up my game play. I’m mostly looking to improve in PvP but I may occasionally do PvE stuff as well.

IGN: Vermil Shadowcraft
Type: Scholar
Server: Sorrow’s Furnace
Experience: Sorta new to GW2 (about 3 months). I main and pretty much only play the Thief class, just as I have always rolled the sneaky type in every single game I play. I have about 3 years or Rogue exp in WoW, which made me understand the class pretty quickly. I enjoy both PVE and PVP (a bit less now with the current state of the class) and want to learn / participate on discussion on the class in both mode.

Stver The Sneaky
Artisan

Been playing thief since release of the game. I used to do a lot WvW and GvG’s with my thief as part of a panic squad. I enjoy playing PvE and running dungeons with my thief, but my sole focus over the past year has been playing Spvp. I took a break from the game recently, but i am now getting back into it. I want learn and get this new meta down for all game modes.

IGN: Shidah
Thief Type: Artisan
Server: Vabbi
Experience with Thief:
For my – little more than – 1 year of playing I was a Thief main, and will be probably forever. No matter the game or the context I always prefer this path. I have 2 Thieves, one of of which is a more experimental, the one I used to make new builds on. Made countless casual builds and been tweaking (stealing) exsisting meta builds, to my own liking of course. My second Thief is considered to be a ‘hardcore’ character, – almost – min.max.ed, used to speedrun with it before HoT came out. I like theorycrafting and testing new builds in every gametype. As mentioned before I used to be somewhat hardcore in PvE, but I also have a fair amount of sPvP experience (currently rank70+).

IGN: Valessa Sylphren
Thief Type: Scholar
Server: Crystal Desert
Experience with thief: I’ve been playing a Thief for about 3 weeks. I started off GW2 with an Elementalist and grew tired of dying all the time so I abandoned him and GW2 around lvl 68. I decided to reinstall a few weeks ago and give GW2 another try since Legion won’t be out till Q3-2016. Super glad I did because GW2 is way more fun than I remember it. I’m still getting the hang of being a thief vs a rogue (WoW) but so far (level 33) I’m loving it!

IGN: Aeva Vael
Thief Type: Scholar
Server: Piken Square
Experience with thief: I played thief for a few months at launch but disliked it and switched to Mesmer as my main. Since the release of Heart of Thorns I started again and I really fell in love with it, playing it as my main now. I really enjoy the mobility and high risk high reward type of gameplay that comes with the thief profession. I’m working my way through the league system and am currently in Sapphire (rank 80), feeling that I need to learn more to succeed at this level.

IGN: Metalfiish
Thief Type: Ultimately I’d like to be in a bit of all three {Scholar, Teacher, Artisan}.
Server: Tarnished Coast
Experience with thief: I have been on since release but start thief about 8 months in. I primarily roamed WvW as a D/P S/D thief and have changed to most of the main builds people talk about and had a blast! I only PvP and WvW, though the recent state of WvW has me doing a bit of PvE for guild upgrades.

Thief is my favorite class ad I would love to be around and help like minded people.

P.S. Who’s ready for that buff in 10 days?!

IGN: Twyster

IGN: Tachi Shadowcloak
Thief Type: Scholar
Server: Dragonbrand
Experience with thief: Made a thief two or so years back when Sword/Dagger was a thing in PvP. Enjoyed it, but dropped the class after changes to S/D a number of months ago. Purchased HoT and am working on Daredevil, found myself enjoying Thief again. Would love to learn more about the class after so much time away, especially concerning roaming/scouting in WvW, since I have no experience with thief in that game mode.

Server: Ruins of Surmia

Experience with thief: Just started a thief toon a while ago, relatively familiar with dungeon skips, but still wonky with regards to survival in high tier fractals.

IGN: Lina Agent
Thief Type: Scholar
Server: Jade Quarry (NA)
Experience with thief: I started doing PvP with thief last year and I’ve gotten my champion shadow title recently. However, I still feel like I’m not very experienced with thief and I have a lot of issues landing the generic backstab combos with ease, so I would love to learn more about how to play thief correctly from the pro thief players

IGN: Raven Godstep
Thief Type: Scholar, Teacher, Artisan
Server: Fort Aspenwood (FA)
Experience with thief: I have about 600 hours into this character so not to much. However I love this class. Its my favorite by far from the rest. the reason I have Scholar down is because there is always things for me to learn about the class. Teacher because I know quite a bit about it. Artisan because I am that one weirdo who keeps trying out new things for thief.

IGN: Sulla Coinshot
Thief Type: Scholar, Teacher, Artisan
Server: Maguuma (NA)
Experience with Thief: I’ve mained a teef for about 1 year now, although I was playing GW2 before that on other classes. Most of my experience is in PvE, including HoT open world, fractals, and limited raiding. I don’t play PvP much, but when I do I exclusively play D/P thief and I feel I understand how to play it effectively. I’m just now getting into WvW, and I would be very interested in learning more about how to play roamer thief, especially with a condi build.

I hope y’all are still active!

Experience with thief: Thief was my original main for a while, until I switched over to Mesmer. I finally decided to go back and unlock Daredevil on my Thief, which revitalised my interest. I’m a big fan of the new DD playstyle!
