Guild Wars 2

How do you think this will fair as a roaming build in WvW, solo and in small groups.

Also help me to analyze which profession/build combos I should avoid with this spec, and which ones should be considered prime targets.

Thanks!

If you don’t throw some toughness in there you’re going to go down VERY easily to any decent roamer (especially Thieves and Warriors). Try throwing some Soldiers in your armour slots and earrings.

Taking Vigorous Recovery is silly without Withdraw, having a 30s CD on your heal means that your vigour uptime will be quite pitiful. I’d also suggest taking Pain Response or Quick Recovery over Fleet of Foot. Finally, I’d personally prefer Thrill of the Crime for the Swiftness + Fury.

Also, you’d be better off with Runes of the Traveller, all you’re getting from those runes is some swiftness which won’t last long anyway. Unless you want to get Centaur runes + Withdraw for perma-swiftness, I wouldn’t bother with any other swiftness runes.

As for your Sigils, Sigil of Rage hasn’t been popular for well over a year, especially since the Quickness nerfs. I’d take Sigil of Air or Fire over that any day. The Sigil of Torment seems a bit useless too, especially considering you have very limited condition damage and you’re not really going to be doing much with it. You’d be better off with a Fire or Energy sigil.

Finally, your foods are sound, but you don’t have the Toughness to take advantage of Sharpening Stones, slot some Soldier armour/trinkets to gain that advantage and find a healthy mix.

Here’s an excellent thread on creating a perfect D/D Thief in WvW:

NOTE: Since Crit Damage % is being removed from PvE/WvW in an upcoming update and replaced with a numerical stat named Ferocity, I would seriously hold off getting ANY Ascended piece until we know how the math works, you could end up wasting a lot of time and resources.

Just my $0.02.
