Q:
As a D/D Theif, what should I spec for in my traits?
I run 30/20/20/0/0 on my D/D thief with alot of stealth for survivability. i rarely die and can still do the high damage backstabs. play a hit and run thief, but because of 15 in deadly arts my target is always weakened so i can go toe to toe with alot of people if i want to.
im 20 in teh stealth line for Steal stealth and i use mug, immobolize poison goes off from mug so now i have a free backstab
First you got to decide what kind of build you gonna be rollin and then try out what best fits your play style. Personally I like playing CnD backstab build or Condition Damage by applying bleeds and poisons. Here is my build for sPVP ganking and keeping nodes.
Any doubt, just ask!

Right now I’ve just created a monstrously powerful PvE build with 0/30/20/5/15.
I use Steal when an enemy’s back is turned and I’m immediately stealthed so I get a completely free backstab. Then I use Death Blossom and my evade which leaves caltrops a few times to get them down to half HP.
Once they hit 50% HP I either cloak and dagger and backstab again or finish with Heartseeker because I get a 20% damage buff when they do. This could easily be swapped out with a 100% chance of critical while in stealth for PvP.
I’m not sure how this would work in PvP or WvW because I only have about 13,000 HP and my high toughness doesn’t seem to always carry me. But I do have some good options in my major traits to remove conditions which means I may be good at support too.
Perhaps I just need better armor. Some of my pieces are still level 42 or so and I have no rare or exotics.
