Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone, I am at a stage where I want to craft my last legendary (have 2 already but never use, because thief cannot use them), I know how hard the grind is but I have started to play as a p/d condi thief and it is very addicting (more than staff/gs mesmer anyway). I wanted to craft incinerator at first but after thinking about the effect of bolt it seems much better. I would have started to craft bolt but I don’t think there are any meta builds for a sword/? Thief, if there is please mention to me. I only do wvw/pvp and solo most of the time.

Anyway what are your opinions on whether I should craft bolt or incinerator (based on appearence and usefulness), please bare in mind this will absolutely be the last legendary I craft (too much grinding), and I am also thinking of leveling a warrior will sword be useful?? Also I am in the process of crafting celestial gear for my d/d ele….

Thank you very much.

Incinerator.
Why?
You can use it in many builds.
S/P build isn’t really good, and every single other build will include incinerator.
After you get it, you can think about getting bolt if you really like S/D.
And yes – S/D is a META build for PVP, S/P is a META build for some dungeons(so is D/D), and S/D can also be used in WvW if you want so(but D/P / condi builds are more.. impactful.)
Appearance is something else, but there are many nice swords to pair incinerator with. Take Fractal Sword or Fused Sword for instance. But if you want to pair Bolt with something, it’ll look sad unless you pair it with incinerator because Bolt is one of the biggest swords there is and daggers tend to be small.

Bolts cool and all, but incinerator is probably gonna fit better.

I’ve been trying for years to get a pre drop and a legendary…… soooo if you get spark and decide “hey I want bolt instead” feel free to send it to me! Just saying I’m calling dibs if you give it away

I crafted both for my thief, but tbh i prefer the rapier over bolt…incinerator looks so cool(in my opinion is the most awesome legendary in game)

The current “meta” is actually S/D thief – So you can craft both =)
For builds look on youtube or maybe dig/ask on the thief forum.

In terms of usefulness, Incinerator is your best bet. But as far as looks go, Bolt is way better.

Just depends on the weapon you use the most. If all you play is thief making the dagger is probably the best bet. Honestly, there are not very many good looking daggers imo. Swords, on the other hand have a bunch that look really great. If you do play more than just a thief then consider which of the other classes also use one of those weapons and MOST importantly do you use that particular weapon on the other classes a lot or not much at all. If you do not use one of the weapons much at all on other classes then that can help you make your decision on which of the two legendary weapons to make.
