Guild Wars 2

sPvP build

Dunno why people are whining about deadeye being bad, its OP af. Probably taking the “noob trap” traits. Enjoy this build. I’m sure ANET will nerf this sooner or later.

traits:

rifle – sigil of explotation, sigil of savagery

sb – whatever

Scholar runes & marauder amulet

utility: withdraw, shadow step, agility signet, Shadow Refuge, shadow meld. Also, Shadow flare can replace SR, but i think SR’s team value is too good.

Also, you need to understand that rifle thief doesnt revolve around stealth because the stealth attack isnt that great in terms of damage like it is for many of the other thief weapons. Just play thief like a pure longbow ranger. Position yourself as far away as possible, with as much high ground as possible then just kneel, mark, and spam 3 on rifle, most things will die before the stun wears off unless they are fast on the stun break. You have so much disengage between your utilities and rifle 4 skill, its pretty hard to die.

SA DE TR outclasses that one trick build by far.

I don’t know if you meant wvw or SPVP, but this build was meant for sPvP, sorry I didn’t specify. And anyone who plays thief properly in sPvP will know you dont need or want shadow arts with rifle/sb unless you take different utilities. This build does what thief builds were always designed to do in sPvP: Have high damage and high mobility so you can gank and kill targets as quickly as possible and move to the next area, and now with the added bonus of 1500 range on all your skills, you don’t even have to put yourself in harms way to kill things.

I take it that this build isnt about the sb!

Aye yeah too true, no need for SA in pvp. But tbh u can just take P/P with that build and do better than with the rifle.

Mark Unload Mercy Mark Unload Kills anything. But then again this might only work to +1 fights or against unware enemies
