Guild Wars 2

Hey,

When soloing a thief through the first 30-35 levels, would you generally go for Power as a stat? Or are other options worthwhile at these early levels?

Power, precision and ferocity is always good (berserker stats).

But it doesn’t have a huge impact on your playing experience in the lower levels, just equip whatever matches your current level.
But yes, more power is better.

I just used whatever I looted and bought a few power weapons from the TP. Gear choices don’t really matter until you get to 80 anyway, just try to replace armor every 10 levels or so if you can afford to.

If you are buying stat based and can go with the power stuff by all means go for it

You can level with pretty much any stats in the game. It’s just about your preference.

If you however prefer to kill things fast, go for power—→ precision —-—> ferocity as they become available to you. It might seem redundant to buy gear when leveling on TP, or bother with things like food/upgrades, but these things certainly do add and they are not expensive. You don’t need to buy the best stuff on TP, anything is better than having 20lvls low gear just cos nothing good dropped and lvl up chests give 1 piece per lvl.

I normally get gear with power stat, put power runes in and add some cheap power or precision food (also gives you more xp on kills), plus a bloodlust sigil on my weps.

If you find yourself too squishy, go for vitality, ignore toughness on thief.
