Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, i havent played in 4-5 months because of school, but i wanted to slowly start coming back to the game again. When i left i was very into TPVP, but it appears the meta has pretty drastically changed since i last left (not surprisingly).

I was curious if anyone wanted to update me to the thief meta. I see that Crit strikes D/P still seems very popular (and is really what the thief class seems to be defined around so no real surprise there), but is acro s/d in much gameplay anymore? I can still kill people very easily with it in Duels, but i noticed the way stability is used in the game is VERY different from when i left so S/D no longer destroys lich and rampage like it used to.

Any top level players still run S/D? Or maybe some new build im not even thinking of yet? I also figured strength runes appear to be nerfed so im guessing people are running ogre or pack or scholar runes now?

Thanks for any info TPVP Teefs!

Current meta specs are

S/D + Shortbow 2 0 0 6 6
D/P + Shortbow 2 6 0 0 6
D/P + Shortbow 6 0 2 0 6

Ah, I forgot about panic strike. We were heading towards panic strike possibly overtaking crit strike in popularity/viability when i left the game, did this end up happening?

Most are running panic strike now i guess, i prefer the good old CS trickery though

Hmm.. well it appears the meta for thief didnt really change at all.

HIS, SR, Shadow step, and I sig for the D/P specs still? and I’m guessing withdraw, double sig for S/D and basi all around?

Maybe Withdraw with panic strike?

S/D withdraw yes

D/P can run both, depends what u prefer / enemy comp

I’m working on new meta. 6/6/2!
