Guild Wars 2

I was building my thief to crit but felt like I was having a bit of a hard time in pve. I changed to d/d condition damage with the plan to switch back later on. The condition damage makes pve easy but in the end it’s not really how I like playing. I’m at lvl 40 now and want to know at what point does crit start to come up or pass condition? Should I just keep it till 80 for pve and go crit then for pvp?

Well you really need to have 30 trait point in Critical Strikes before it become good. Then again, the same could be said for any trait tree.

I’m not sure what weapon set you were using before but Sword + Pistol is generally the best choice for leveling and offers many of the same benefits as Death Blossom spam (evades and multi-target damage). I’d recommend you give it a try.

The idea is quite simple. Maintain Black Powder while auto-attacking or simply spam Pistol Whip.
