Guild Wars 2

I know this is not wvw forums but this forum gets more viewers so I could possibly find a answer faster. I’m debating on what i want to use for roaming. Ele or theif. I have all gear made and fixed up for both. But my question is. Which class and setup, d/p theif and d/d celestial ele, is more fun for roaming? I play on a T1 server which I doubt that that matters but was just giving more insight

ugh. that video is pretty old and the enemies he fights are kind of .. unexperienced I guess.
I dont want the OP to have false expectations about the thief. I am not saying thief is not good anymore but it certainly does not look like in the video all the time.
Of course, thiefs are still good for roaming mainly because of stealth.
Stealth-ressing/stomping is sooo annoying!

I do believe a dd ele is in a bettet spot at the moment. Really strong, much to learn from and a lot of fun. And annoying to fight <.< lol
Also has some great mobility and sustain, whats not to love.

That being said, looking at both of them from a roaming warrior perspective (which I roam the most with) I can say that most thiefes these days are a matter of 10 seconds with success on my end. Only rarely do I encouter one that is a real pain in the kitten .
Elementalists however are increasingly showing up and being a worthy enemy with close fights.

For future reference I’d post in the WvW subforum to begin with because this thread is most likely going to be moved there anyways.

However, to add some insight from a seasoned roamer, in my opinion d/d ele is more fun simply because of the higher skill cap and sheer versatility of the setup, especially the celestial build you referred to. D/p thief while entertaining is rather rinse repeat. Ie: stealth→backstab→stealth/disengage→repeat. Not that I’m hating on thiefs. I love killing you guys. XD

WvW forum gets tons of views. You would have gotten a ton of answers much faster for your topic.

Better questions are when you fight in WvW, which classes do you like to fight against most and why? Which ones seem to you like the most fun to play and why? Then play both to the best of your ability and determine for yourself which one feels more natural. I can say that I have played both thief and ele. D/D Ele to me is far and away more fun for me. In other games I enjoyed stealth but in GW2, for some reason, I really like for my opponents to know where I am. Stealth can be a lot of fun to play around with but after a while, for me personally, it becomes boring and disengaging.

Thief is op in wvw roaming. If you are not kitten impossible to lose. Maybe you not win but never die

That video is sooooo old. That was back before bloodlust ruins existed.
