Guild Wars 2

This isnt that great of a video but it was really fun making it regardless.

I am not in any way as good as Yski and my backstabs didnt hit close to his and none of this was pure solo gameplay.

If you see this, you’re awesome man!

also my build is a cheaper version of his.

ENJOY!

Also, yes i know this has been done to DEATH but im new to thief and i thought this was just super fun. So thanks for watching

Well, it’s 9 am in the morning and my day has already been made

I’ve been thinking, since the build is all about maximizing the damage, there is a way to go even higher. It makes your burst way less reliable AND you lose the little defense Hide in Shadows gives you, but I’ve been messing around with in in hot joins and it seems doable: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQNAoYVlcmKOHcy5E/5Ex2je6Te6VAsaPoZLhJA-jkyAEEIiCAVAM5VEN2ibR0Y1OYqyIrMTq2FwbwoVLFQEjBA-w

That, however, should be close to the maximum. All I can think of is going all ascended zerger gear and swapping panic strike for vuln on crits or might on venoms. I’d have to do the math to see which would boost it more..

I was actually planning to do some programming (I’ve been trying to learn c++), but now I think I’ll go give the above build a try in WvW, and hopefully get a short video done by the end of the day

Let me just say, that the 4 signet burst is a nightmare to play. The burst is less likely to work than before, takes longer to set up and you no longer have that handy escape stealth or even a decent heal for that matter.

Then again, the numbers are definitely bigger than before, so I suppose it’s worth it.

O: he replied

Maybe use the same thing but just switch the traits to the 20% cooldown again.

I guess if you need that fury though..
decisions decisions

Without Hidden Killer you really need the fury unless your crit chance is a lot higher than mine. 50% chance of failing the burst isn’t fun considering you blow all your cooldowns to do it :P

I’ve actually managed to get a decent pile of footage, now all I need to do is to it all together. It takes a while to get used to it, but the new build does indeed work

Just noticed hidden killer wasnt there.

I cant wait to see the new video

I’m sort of running out of time, so you’ll have to wait until tomorrow, or in worst case scenario the day after tomorrow. We’ll see how it goes, but I’m working on it :P

Awesome

Also, i just tryed that build out and i defended a camp against 5 waves of people until a zerg of 10 came and finally got me. Its pretty awesome

And if you switch out the trait for 20% faster sigils you can heal every 12 seconds which is pretty neat. But i wouldnt recommend it lol

I must apologize for taking way longer than I said I would, but it appears I’ve grossly overestimated my editing speed. I suppose the biggest reason for that is the fact I’m used to simply editing all day (or until I’m finished, at any rate) when I get started, so now that I only have a couple of hours each day my “one day’s work” actually takes… well, lots of them.

Still, I’m working on it, and so far the results are definitely worth the wait. It’ll be rather short by my standards, but I’d say it has some of the best editing I’ve ever done
