Guild Wars 2

So I’m a backstab user and I am using the 100% crit stealth trait so I was wondering should i go for precision or put on valk armor or something like that?

Here is how I would do it, you can do full Valkyrie, but its iffy and lacks support for your other abilities.

Valkyrie Armour and Berserker Weapons/Accessories

• Find Fury support through Traits / Runes / other Party Members
• Take Power Stack Sigil.
• Consider taking Dagger / Pistol.

Running Backstab in this way means you can take Valkyrie for survivability, and that’s why you take the Hidden Killer Trait in the first place, to open up that avenue of survivability. You can argue though that if its dead it can’t hurt you, so that’s why Berserker gear executioner is popular, but it can swing back and punish you hard.

If you do go the Valkyrie Armour, the new Furious Retaliation cooldown makes it an auto include I feel. As it is such an easy way to get Fury for your Thief; Back stab your target down with 100% crit, they hit 50% health and you get fury for 10 seconds, were you can Heartseeker with about 61%+ crit chance.

Unlike full berserker thieves though you’ll have a more healthy 15.8k+ health pool.

Here’s an example:

Dagger: Sigil of Bloodlust
Pistol: Sigil of Air

Armour: Valkyrie
Armour Slots: Beryl Orbs

Accessories: Berserker’s
Accessory Slots: Ruby Jewels (if using exotic gear)

Weapons: Berserker’s
