Hi
Are thiefs useful for group PvE and dungeons? or are they not meant for that?
What skills can they bring to the table when doing dungeons and group pve?

Could anybody give me some insight on this.

Thank You

Check out this guide. Even though it’s supposed to be for “support” thieves, the guide pretty much covers everything you need to know for any kind of thief in dungeons.

Thieves are quite useful in dungeons due to some utility skills. Number one would be Shadow Refuge,then you have Smoke Screen (and other related or similar utilities) and Scorpion Wire. Depending on your traits you can be quite supportive of your groupies.

I do, the guide dmt linked to sums up nicely why thieves are really good in dungeons.
I wouldn’t worry too much about class composition.
If you have any problems, the issue is the person not allowing you in, just find someone else. I’d run dungeons with 5 thieves, I see no problem.

EDIT : Black Powder is also 2 good.

Please don’t use Signet of Shadows in a dungeon. The 25% movement isn’t needed that much, and from what I hear, the active isn’t that good either. I have seen countless thieves use it and never activate it. They are also the same ones I see dying regardless of that movement speed. Unless you’re skipping a whole lot of mobs, leave it out of your utilities for something else.

I have a thief main as well and I’ve never had trouble finding a group. I think thieves bring a lot to a group as well. We are pretty good at reviving our comrades with shadow refuge, we can single pull enemies with scorpion wire, we can ranged or melee effectively, single target or AE, and we’re pretty good at not dying, which is always a plus in a group.
