Guild Wars 2

Looking for a thief leveling guide like from 1-80 wpns to use traits for pve etc.

Weapons:

S/P: It’s a beast in PvE because of it’s semi-tanking abilities + it has cleave (can hit multiple enemies at once)

SB: good for traveling, tagging multiple mobs in Dynamic Events, also its poison synergizes well with Signet Of malice, if u use it.

Gear:

Zerkers. Only zerkers

Traits: 20/30/0/0/15

Deadly arts: Mug and Combined Training

Critical strikes: Signets of Power, Practiced Tolerance, Executioner (cause its not stealth focused build)

Trickery: Uncatchable

And another 5 points, which you can spend freely, but i prefer Acrobatics

Skills:

Healing: Signet of Malice or Hide in Shadows. U will benefit more from Signets of Power trait with Signet of Malice, though, cause you don’t really need healing often in open world. Just switch to Hide in Shadows when exploring Orr, or in areas you just want to pass by.

Utility: 7:Shadow Refuge/Ambush/Shadowstep, 8: Signet of Shadows, 9: Assassin’s Signet/Infiltrator’s Signet. Change skills in slot 7 as situation requires, and slot 9 is purely yours choice between these two.

Elite: Thieves Guild/Dagger Storm. DS for masses of mobs, TG for doing Skill Challenges, or killing other Vets.

Gameplay tips:

Pop signets when approaching mobs, don’t forget to switch skills when situation demands. Pistol Whip/Steal burst is really good, but try not to waste all of your init. When fighting thougher Vet or Champs, use 5 slot skill often, cause then you can almost tank them.

I hope it helps

Is this for level 80 to be more specific I’m looking for level breakdowns I.e 1-10 11-20 etc

you don’t need one. try all weapons, and see which you like.

For the traits, just go for Deadly Arts/ Critical strikes first. And for the skills, just buy ones i mentioned asap. You should be able to learn all of these really fast, because there is no problem with gaining SPs. Only for elite, grab Thieves Guild first.

Also, grab the trait which puts percent of precision to vitality as soon as you can.

Everything elses order doesnt really matter, tbh.

There are many ways to level up from 1-80 so a guide that breaks down levels seems to be unnecessary. You can stay in the same zone running Dynamic Events back to back if you want to until you max the level of the zone, you can go to WvW to get a lot of free EXP just by running with a commander, etc.

But if you want to level up without fighting for your first few levels, I suggest that you visit each of the cities and explore it 100%, then go back to killing stuffs.
