So yesterday i tried PvP the normal one and the free tournaments,

i play a thief and not couse its OP, i just started with this proffession from the very beginning and stick with it couse i love it.

In normal WvW i play a Condition-Stealth Build, but i figured it out very soon in pvp … not the best choise, its just kind of a nother playstile:

Burst-Damage is asked for and nothing else, its just a matter who get the first hit.
I kinda started to detest backstab-thieves ^^’ Lord help me i hate my own kind XD

So pvp allows us to rearrange our build and everything completly free anytime, its ok couse its really needed, close range fights with not a lot room or space, when they expect you coming, burst damage builds only.

But now i start feeling insecure, is my wvw-build entirely wrong? Maybe i would benefit in wvw from Backstab as well more then from Venom-Build.
-_-
Is Backstab the only thing to go with thief?

And what the heck is pvp even there for? We dont get any loot, our armor isnt damaged and it seems like a huge waist of time for me O.o, why do you guys play it?

Bleeder thief is a lot better in tpvp and even for regular 8×8, since you have more survivability, you stack bleeds insanely fast, they do huge dmg per tic, also you heal a lot in stealth.

Why people play pvp? Because it is the only place that actually requires skill to win so it is more fun for people who like competition and getting better, not outgearing or zerging the opponent like in wvw. PvE is a huge waist of time, not PvP.

direct answer to your question, should you be using backstab in WvW instead of a venom build? Yes you should.
