Just something that i feel bad for not knowing, having a 80thief, tho i don’t use him myself. But that could change once i start doing more WvW, and i wouldn’t mind to try a few dungeons with him.

1 – So, what is the perma stealth build for a thieft (WvW) ? And is it the one that is better for roaming?

2 – I want to know the perma stealth build that annoys so many and pulls out nice backstab numbers, but if I had to use my Thief in WvW i would rather try a Condition build with Dire. Do you think that it would be a bad idea? I just do mostly Dungeons that it is all about Zerk, so focusing on something more Tanky and Condition damage would be nice for a change – I also watched one video of this build that i enjoyed.

3 – What is the current meta for Dungeons other than Zerk gear, what is the traits that should be used and utility skills?

4 – Are there any weapon combinations for thief that are specifically bad, or just not very optimal?

1. perm stealth can be gained by either chaining back stabs with dagger oh, or by using d/p black powder heart seeker combo. the build that is “best” for roaming is the one you are best with. for me thats s/d. here is an d/p perm stealth.http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fZAQNAoaVlsMp8pdPx0J0PNBPBt9AmdA4sEdwzo8EA-T5QBwAROFAkLDA4JAAA

2. condi is easier to play but has a lot of potential with gap closers, and escapes, condi is just all about pressure and mobility basically.

3. there is only 1 meta. its not nessicaraly full zerker. for thieves yes it is full zerker. for else its might stacking, for guards its dps+ boon stacking. traits look something like this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fZAQNAsaVl8MpzpNOx7J8PNBNhs9kKR8LsuBSA-TJhFwAAOFADeCAj2fYaZAA blow all sigs for instant 15 stacks of might- pistol whip the fk out of enemys.

4. p/p is un useable at high lvl game play. imo the best weapons we have is sword and SB

There’s no need to perma stealth in WVW for roaming. You are able to escape every fight with your mobility. A shortbow is a good choice as secondary set.
