Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone,

A friend of mine and I just got this game a couple of weeks ago. At the moment, we’ve just been leveling and getting a feel for the game after a long run on WoW.

He’s leveling a thief right now, and I’m looking for a profession that boads well with him in sPvP. I’m not really the “support” kinda dude, so I was thinking maybe like a second burst profession, maybe even another thief.

Basically, just wanted a heads up on some good duo comps that involve a thief right now.

Thanks.

Spirit Ranger. Because Spirit Ranger > all at the moment

Well it all depends on the build you paly. My personal opinion will be war, ele mesmer

I think Warrior/Thief would be disgusting, One Stunlock from shadow refuge
WILL ALWAYS result in death
Auto winning most 2v2s.

Mesmer/Thief Could be strong as ranged Stun/dazelock can be just as good but no eviscerate is meh.

Warrior would be strong, especially if the thief can steal stabilities for the war.

This, because right now warrior has amazing damage and high defense at same time.

Warrior will stun lock and receive damage while Thief burst down.

Anything can work with a thief…although Guardian i think has great synergy with a thief.

cc warrior, bar none. I run with one.

CC war would be cool but I still think Spirit ranger would be stronger since we’re not just talking 2v1 here.

With a Spirit ranger he can whip out TG and even run runes of the ogre for the rock dog. Rock dog+pet+2thieves from TG+Thief+Ranger = ton of burning applications no matter how much removal you have. Plus a ton of clutter, perfect for the thief to hide—don’t even need stealth trololol

a thief + cc war will kill a thief + spirit ranger for sure. I’ve gone through that matchup with my team’s warrior plenty of times…

These are my top favorites for dual roaming

• CC war + D/P Thief
• D/D ele + S/D Thief
• S/D ele + D/P Thief
• Shatter mesmer + X/X Thief
• SD Engi + D/P Thief = scariest burst you will ever face.

CC warrior if you want to effortlessly kill everyone. Just expect the nerf hammer.

SD Engi + D/P Thief = scariest burst you will ever face

Disregard this poster probably doesn’t know SD (Static Discharge) is now bugged.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Seems that the majority is set on warrior/thief.

I’ll give it a shot, and thank you for the feedback

Happy hunting.

CC warr + S/D thief = thief rips stability and warr stunlocks the target, alternative is whatever other burster.
S/D zerk ele or shattermesmer works well also due to the crazy amount of burst both of them put out.

The toolbelt skills I use in my SD engi are not bugged. So try not to make assumptions.
