Guild Wars 2

Hello all. Fairly new to the GW universe (a little more than 2 weeks now).

I’m still playing around with classes, but have really narrowed it down to Thief or Mesmer. Have a 32 Mesmer, and only 7 Thief. I really, really like the play style of the Thief, but am concerned that it will lose its luster after 80 levels of playing.

My question is this, does the thief have multiple builds and play styles that keep it fresh as you level? Or is it just kind of the same principle of BS, BS, BS, rinse, repeat (melee) and dual pistols until you close in on target(ranged)?

I love thorough answers, but any advice will help! Thank ye kindly!

I have a mesmer too and I like being more useful to my team other than a time warp bot or portal slave. so I play my thief more.

Mm I have a level 80 mesmer and level 80 thief I don’t play my mesmer anymore unless its for fractals since that character is the highest level. If I had the patience to level my thief for fractals I would probably play my thief in there also.

Depends on what you want to do I guess I think trait wise thief when compared to mesmer thief wins hands down.

There are multiple builds out there and you can tweak for flexibility or what you like really. There are a few stable traits that most will say are must haves depending on build but its not like mesmer since last time I really paid attention to what is going on with mesmers.

I don’t run BS d/d I tried it not my style but I will run P/P+S/D, PD+SB, D/P + S/D, each can be ran different ways some optimal some not but all fun imo.
