Guild Wars 2

Often times it happens that there are two thieves in our team, so usually one of us has to reroll. What would be the best alternative in sPvP for thief? I know it depends on team comp and that, but I’m mainly interested in which class do you think is second best at what the thief does in a pvp game

Thanks.

Power Rev because of Shiro, usually.

Power Mes is for the brave. It’s like taking a swim in a dirty pool filled with sharp things.

IN my opinion you are doing a mistake. If you have to reroll with 2 thieves it is becouse 2 thieves in a team don’t work if other team is not bad or not at the same skill level. So if you think to substitute a thief with something that do the same … , not better than thief … you probably will end having worse resault. If there is no condi mesmer in , in my opinion , rolling to meta mesmer can be a good choice becouse you have good mobility and you can also bunkering a point for a bit. What is not good of having 2 thieves is that your team will be in trouble in holding point so in my opinion the choice should go on a class which can hold . If there are not healers you can chose ele or druids or mender scrapepr ( well played can change the matches ) , if there are already you can go dh, necro, mesmer, warr. The real important thing is to switch to something you can play well …

Why would you want to play the second best thief like build? The idea of rerolling is to get something for your team that is currently lacking though I suppose it could be to shut up the often dumb teammates who say “double thief is trash” when it is very good in a lot of matches. If you want to get variety for your team, a defensive support such as ele, engi, druid are all significantly different from thief in what they bring.

There is a reason why double thief isn’t used in most scenario. Thief simply can’t hold points reliably and it lacks sustain for teamfight. That means you’ll be moving a lot and other teamfighting bruiser teammates will be spending a lot of time running from spawn.

Have that in ranked and you’re basically putting bets if you think your team can coordinate a sides/roaming strategy. In a meta where active defenses are everywhere, all it takes is a good bruiser in opponent team to delay your decap long enough for duo thief to waste time.

Power mez can do it as well but u better be really good at it or RIP.

Honestly Guard or Rev. You can go Power mes but you might as well just be a thief unless your team really wants portal and no one else will play portal.

Play something that doesn’t rely on teammates. Scrapper/guard/war/rev.
