Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, back again with another build.

Recently I looked into improving the viability of S/P to counter the outburst of conditionmancers and hambow warriors, and I’ve come up with this. In WvW testing, the build has proven extremely effective in locking down and killing both cheese builds, as well as being generally effective against everything else. It’s a well-rounded build, but does require the ability to adapt to different situations and knowing enemy animations and how to counter them. Here it is: Defiance

Sorry to all non-human thieves, but it does use Reaper of Grenth to stack up to 64 seconds of chilled and poisoned on the enemy to cancel out healing and put stun breaks on an extremely long cooldown in order to take them down and mitigate the threat, rendering the enemy useless. Feel free to post an adaptation if you find a way to use this with another race.

You guys might want to exchange Ricochet for Bountiful Theft when roaming, so that you’re able to rip any stability a warrior might pop. Just an observation out of testing.

Why would you use Ricochet for this build? It looks kind of interesting, but I’m not a human thief, so I’ll just have to do with my stun lock build ;p

stun lock is still a thing? lol thought that’s over.

Trade out ricochet for Bountiful Theft, it’s a much better choice to take roaming. The moment you see a warrior pop stability, strip that kitten!
