Full zerker while running d/d for single target boss fights and s/p for trash mobs. Rotating your utilities + Elite for what is needed.

What about the traits and trait slots what would you recommend ?

It’s hard to beat 25/30/0/0/15. It brings the highest dps possible and can work with just about any weaponset. Here’s the basic structure:

If you’re newer to the thief class, running something with 15 in Acrobatics for the extra dodge may be a bit easier as this is a very glass-cannon build, but you have everything you need to be a great contribution to your group if you play it right. Personally, this is what I generally run in most situations:

Gear is full berserker and slot skills/elite may change depending on the fight.

Personally, I like Critical Haste, but Furious Retaliation and Signet Use are also good choices. If you switch to S/P or P/P for a certain fight, this can be swapped to Combo Critical Chance or Pistol Mastery.

On a side note, for anyone with a new level 80 thief that is gearing up (and also enjoys WvW), I would recommend picking up a full Valkyrie set for your first set of gear. This will give you more survival in dungeons and as you transition to a full Berserker set for PvE, the Valkyrie set is still ideal for WvW (full Valkyrie armor with Berserker weapons/accessories is great for WvW).
