Guild Wars 2

Hey guys just after general tips if possible.

What type of playstyle do we have to do in PvP? I’ve noticed other thieves absolutely trash my other professions easy lol.

For pve levelling what’s the ideal way to do it? Side question but is thief nicer than guardian/ele or same ish?

But yeah, any tips id love please

Welcome to the thief profession. Sadly our class is very unforgiving and having a set of stuff is more on preference. For PvP some people like d/d others like s/d while I personally like D/P. The blinds are so good to combo with.

My advice, practice on the training npcs in the pvp lobby. To learn a few opening combos. Because this is what breaks a lot of new thieves. You will want to face tank many other professions but that is wrong. Hit and run is our specialty.

To answer your question about the guard and ele all three classes play differently. Guards are more traditional setup while ele is using an attunement system while thieves use initiative. Thieves have no cool down in a sense to use thier skill which makes us a supreme predator in PvP.

For dungeons I usually use Sword and pistol for the 3 skill spam to blind enemies, and smoke screen. Thieves are a very hard class to master but once you become efficient everyone will be happy to see you in their party. especially in CM dungeon. Good luck.

Might be of some help:

Thanks guys I’ll have a look into this lol, always played stealth classes in previous games so hopefully I’d adapt to this fast. Any info on thieves in the future? How we looking?

Really am undecided on the 3, it’s quite a tough decision. Guardian skills are so much fun but the lack of mobility I hate sometimes. Elementalist is very exciting to play but just can’t be bothered levelling it lmfao.

I love my thief, but leveling was a pain in the kitten . Invest in a shortbow as early as possible, arguably the best thief weapon and I find myself using it a lot in sPvP, PvE, and WvW. Also, if you plan on making stealth apart of your battle plan, practice performing backstabs and, keep in mind, that landing that backstab on the sides of the opponent is just as good as behind them. 99.9% of the time opponents know whats coming after you stealth, so it is usually a scramble to land that backstab. lol
