Guild Wars 2

Hello guys,
I undusted my thief again and started to pug with him. Might generation has been a problem. Is there anything I can do in order to generate might? Any consumable to get a fire field?

Fire Elemental Powder

Runes of Strengh + Sigil of Strengh has pleasured me for a while. Ofcourse this becomes redundant when having a might-stacking party.

If you do not aim for full power (Deadly Arts traitline) you can also go 5 points into Shadow Arts (2 might for 20s on stealth).

The Fire Elemental is usefull, but does not give fire fields unless attacking, thus wasting time stacking might in combat.

Assassin’s/Opal gear+Runes of Strength+Sigil of Strength+Sigil of Bloodlust+0/0/5/3/6 build with HiS, Blinding Powder, Shadow of Refuge+Signet of Agility

There’s your solo Thief Might Stacking Build.

Good Luck.

For solos i mainly used what Tman posted above. Wouldn’t go for fire elemental powder because you’d need to stack might on encounters!

Thank you guys, but I am worried about might stacking party wide, you know, PuG life.

Stealth you happy to others will grant them with might as well swap SoA for smokesdeen and use a short bow. Though blasting as Ele or Engines Fire with SB is much better.

I will be kicked for that but Venomous strength + Venomous aura virtually apply 10 stack of 20sec Might party wide every 32 sec

Are the might stacks even worth the damage you loose in order to get them? I think the +% dmg modifier on the weapons and traits are better than might. If you have ~2500 base power, a 10% damage modifier is about as good as ~8 might stacks.
Just because you have 25 stacks might doesn’t mean you do the most dmg.

And if you want to stack might for the team, I think thief is the wrong class for you.

This.

If, and only IF you think you should generate your own might, please refer to my previous post and use Strength runes+sigil. Keep you main damage build (which should be 5|6|x|x|x or 6|6|x|x|x or something alike)

With the Strength runes/sigils im able to keep more than 5 stacks of might at all time, sometimes even reaching 15 stacks (pistol whip spam, yay)

I know I know. That is why I was asking for consumables to generate firefields or stuff like that.
The more I think, the more I found that there are pug professions and organized groups professions.

Try skipping Arah in a PuG without a thief. Then tell me again how thief is not a pug class

… I love my engi, honestly he’s good enough for skips in most of arah (can’t do some of the pathing tricks). But I still bring my thief out in PUGs if there isn’t one already there. Just such a nice addition to be able to get everything through safely.

but.. but..
pug never wanted my stealth in arah…

then they yolo run and died

“No, I won’t use SS/SR. I’m a DPS build.”
