So the thief? Worth it anymore? Right before I left the classes was getting hit hard with the Nerf bat. Mainly played solo/roaming DD thief in WvW. Was a glass cannon with massive spike damage and short bow for evasions and escapes. Still a viable spec? Started using a poison/bleed build for group roaming/zerg busting but found it to be lackluster over all.

What is most viable spec now in WvW? Know this is subjective as play styles vary but would like to know the best sneaky/spike damage builds to give them a test.

Before I left the Mesmer was one of the hardest classes to kill as a thief. Still true?

Celestial elementalist. You’ll get the good poison and burn damage while healing and burst damage are still decent with nice survivability. Base damage is higher than thief so you don’t have to go berserker.
