Guild Wars 2

On my thief im having a hard time deciding which one would be more benificial for me

20% increased damage when the opp is under 50%

or 100% crit in stealth

I am building Mainly beserker with valk jewelery and rage runes so i am going to have 80%+ crit damage (not sure on exact number).

I like singling out targets and doing damage, but the whole 1 bang doesn’t really appeal to me ( havent seen any 10k+ backstabs maybe thats why).

Let me know what 30 point trait you use and why.

i run 10/30/0/15/15

Since they are probably lowering the damage on backstab that will be one less reason to take the 100% crit while in stealth trait.

considering that your crit chance is probably 50% + i wouldnt personally bother with 100% crit while in stealth. if your gearing for crit, you can easily get 60% ish base crit chance, +12% with a full sigil of accuracy, +7% more from the side or behind, +10% more vs 50% hp opponents :P +20% for fury. you can also use “next hit on this weapon will always crit” sigil if your looking for the occasional massive backstab while not investing in a massive crit chance build. if you went 30 into the crit tree id assume your already high crit chance, those traits like 100% chance while in stealth or for next atk etc are most useful for no crit chance high power builds :P in my opinion.

yea I see what your saying and the next hit crits sigil never thought of that i just need to have atleast 3 daggers equiped between my 2 weapon sets

i would need to CnD on one set then switch to back stab with the next

worth mentioning that if you heartseeker through a smoke combo field that will give you a stealth without having to initiate battle, though it does use quite a bit of initiative if you use blinding powder, but if you run dagger main hand, it can be somewhat useful in place of cnd specially considering some of the blind field utilitys have much faster cooldowns then the stealths
