My thief is level 80, and I have his traits set exactly the way I want, so there’s no problem in that regard. The problem is coming from my gear. I currently have:
Armour – Berserker with Ruby Orbs
Weapons (Dagger/Dagger & Pistol/Pistol) – Berserker with Sigil of Force & Sigil of Accuracy
Accessories, Rings etc – Berserker with Exquisite Ruby Jewels
Obviously this is a very glass cannon setup, although it has done me well for a lot of the game. I basically just had to learn to dodge, and found that I could survive even with Berserker gear.
The problem now though is that I have started trying a lot harder things out in game such as WvWvW and Fractals etc. In Fractals I am often getting one shotted and it’s making me look stupid to be honest. In WvWvW I find it hard enough staying alive against 1 player, let alone a mob, with Berserker gear.
I’m therefore just wondering if I should change to some other type of gear, perhaps with Toughness and/or Vitality. It’s just that every stat on Berserker gear is so appealing, and seems absolutely perfect for a Thief, so I’ve been less inclined to want to change as I don’t really want to give up on the Pow/Pre/Crit Dmg from Berserker gear. Price isn’t an issue really, so I’m open to any suggestions.
Whilst it IS nice seeing big numbers from your high DPS, and seeing things die in a matter of seconds, I just feel that perhaps I’m neglecting my defense by using Berserker gear and wanted to know what the general opinion was on what type of gear to use for Thief.
What do you guys suggest? Thanks.
