Guild Wars 2

I just got a thief to 80, and during the time spent leveling him up I used everything. After settling that I like Sword/Pistol and Pistol/Pistol the most out of every thing I wanted to see if there was a build suitable for this set of weaponry for PvE, and Dungeoneering.

I’ve tried to love the Shortbow. I TRIED so hard to try to like it, but it just felt horrible and clunky in combat as well as being a bit boring to me after using it for levels 62 to 69. So after my leveling process and having fun with the nerfed pistol whip I came to the conclusion that I’d like to spend my time at 80 as a Sword/Pistol with a Pistol/Pistol off-set, and a focus on traps; because really.. Who doesn’t like traps?

~ahem~

Could I be pointed in the right directions to a build that could work for me?

you can try to use a 0/30/0/20/20 build

*Signets of power – 5 stacks of Might on use
*Signet Use – Gain 2 ini and reduce recharge by 20%
*Executioner – 20% dmg when enemy is lower that 50%.

*Power of Inertia (this one is a free slot) – 10 seconds of might on a dodge
*Assassin’s Reward – Heal me when I use PW or any still that uses Ini and it does not even have to hit anything

*Thrill of the Crime (this one is a free slot) – Fury/might/swiftness + 3 ini

• Bountiful Theft – steals boons from enemy and gives you vigor for more dodges

Utility Skills:

*Signet of Malice – heals you when you hit a target
*Signet of Agility – removes condition and refills endurance…more doges more might and more survivability.
*Signet of Shadows (this can be swapped to any Signet you want) 25% Speed boost and aoe blind.. meh why not
*Shadows Refuge –
*Dagger Storm – works wonders with SoM with a large group of mobs.

since you wan to use S/P and P/P I think this build might work well for you as PW and unload hit multiple times you can have a constant stream of heals and also you have decent ini recovery.

Thank you!

With about 45 minutes of play with this build I love it. Absolutely love it.

Im glad you like the build.
