Guild Wars 2

Just wondering what traits other ranged Thieves find amazing and can’t live without. Perhaps certain traits pair really well with some of the Thief utility skills.

I’d love to see what’s working for ranged Thieves and why players find these combinations good. Just looking for good advice with my own builds.

Thanks in advance!

I tried a number of different setups, mostly I went with acrobatics and other high mobility traits, to keep myself at range. Eventually I dropped P/P though, unload and the auto attack are both crummy and dont mesh together very well, imo.

Throw away one of those pistols. It has the same fire rate as the bow but does less damage and doesn’t have any area effect attacks.

Id have to look at my build when i get back home (im on my phone right now) but the build i went for p/p was 25/30/0/0/15. Grab mug and and crit abilities from major traits and caltrops on dodge. Its been effective for me but p/p thief is all i play so i feel im getting good at it

Mind you i also dont play thief other than in pvp, so my build is obviously a pvp build, aimed for spvp

This is mainly PvE but I’m building 0/30/10/0/30 for Initiative with P/P, D/D and P/D. Unload does good damage if you can keep your crit high and positioning right, the P/P sneak attack is also pretty decent. You regain initiative on stealths and heals so you get double returns for Hide in Shadows and Shadow Refuge. I tend to use P/P in dungeons where melee are usually on the ground.
