Guild Wars 2

Hi THF Community,

I am trying to get back into GW2 after a long break, maybe about a year since. I was running S/D + SB for PvE and Wv3. I hear in a few days S/x is getting nerfed so I do not even want to start playing it again. Any advice for a Wv3 Weapon Set / Build that focuses on mobility and killing?

I’ve tried going through the forums for builds, but cannot determine what is still recent and viable or old and dated. Any info or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Roll warrior, guardian or necro.

D/D is still good
D/P will be recieving a nerf, but only if you wanted to permastealth, and thats lame anyways.
Condi is not bad but don’t expect to get many kills

But yeah, what Zacchary said. Until Anet figures out what they want thief to actually DO in this game, the thief will be all over the place balance wise.

I like the casual Skullcrack + GS build, it’s still strong after the stun duration fix and it totally wrecks other thieves in seconds and will be way easier after Inf return wont escape CC, I run with valkyrie amulet and healing signet to be able to survive any 1v4 as I like without having to spam stealth, against rangers I stealth a lot however to be able to hit them with skullcrack with ease, if I run into any problems I just walk away,
if someone decides to chase me I just use some mobility skills and I’m at the other side of the map.

After the next patch I’ll lose 100 toughness and projectile reflect or 10% crit dmg, but I feel pretty fine with that.

Do yourself a favor and change class while you still enjoy the game… The nerf bat has not done justice to this class.

take another break…
