Guild Wars 2

I started playing GW2 few days ago and so far playing thief has been pretty hard which isn’t surprising since from previous games I’ve played, thieves usually glass cannons. Although I’m still trying to understand this game, I’ve been trying to formulate a build to stick with so far. This is what I have so far:

Would P/P with D/D sub work? I’m thinking to use pistols to pick off foes from afar while daggers to either use Death Blossom on mobs, or attempting to abuse invisible tactics when dealing with an up close target.
As far as traits go, I’m thinking 25/30/15, focusing on Initiative and defensive healing capabilities and the like.

I don’t know if I’ll go PvP, since I figure I’ll focus on PvM until I understand the game more as well as my profession.

P/P with SB is a good combo, why get in close combat, if you want to stay at ranged
however P/P with your D/D is also good. there is no ‘perfect’ build, only the build that feels right to you.

Wats the actually lvl of ur thief ? 20? or 10? ima say this run D/D and shortbow till u hit 46. then buy a pair of pistols thats IMHO when unload gets good damage. ive tested it ive done more damage lvling with D/D than P/P in a short amount of time even if u can spam unload its still not up thier in damage as u would get with D/D. So when u hit that lvl yes u can switch out D/D if u want.

P.S. (buy the rare ones thier fairly cheap for 46.)
