Guild Wars 2

Good afternoon/morning forumite. I am new to the thief class, and am still coming to grips with their playstyle, mechanics and gear set-up. This afternoon, when WvW’ing, an SBI Sylvari thief with dual incinerators singlehandedly took out both myself (a thief) and my friend (an elementalist) without too much trouble (being Yak’s benders ourselves). Even though I landed a few good back-stabs, she did not appear to take much damage, as supposed to her own back-stabs that essentially 100 to zero’ed me. I was wondering what you guys think she could have been wearing (in terms of gear) as she took less damage than me (me being in full zerker) but dished out more? Sorry if this is very little information to go on!

She won by not being glassy and #2 dagger spamming?

Here is Yishi’s most recent WvW video. Be sure to read the notes as he uses an Ascended Valk dagger so he swapped his chest to berserker for the stat trade off. His build link for this video is in his comments.

First time seeing Yishi’s video. Pretty amazing watching a thief take on 3 or more enemies and win.

I try to do what Yishis does all the time, but fail horribly, haha. I’ve had a few shining moments, but not anywhere near that level.
