Guild Wars 2

Hey all,

Recently I’ve returned to my thief after a long grind for a legendary on my warrior and I’ve found the meta shifted a bit and I’m looking for some new gear to make me feel a little less like a gc. I’ve heard all sorts of numbers but basically I’ve come to the conclusion that these are the benchmark stats people are hitting:

15k~ hp with 5% precision = vitality
60% critical chance with no food
2.3k or so of combined armor
3.2k power with no stacks or food
Crit damage I’ve seen no consistency with cut usually 70% and up is what I’ve ran with in previous builds (possible? Idk)

So basically this is my goal for the next while. I have access to ascended items (currently quiver of swift flight and vine of pale tree). If you guys have any ideas drop a post.

Thanks all so much!

What are we talking about?

WvW? tPvP? sPvP? FotM? Dungeons? PvE farming?

Where are you getting these benchmark stats from and what are they based on?

Afaik the only shift in Thief meta-gaming I’ve noticed is the increasing popularity of Dagger + Pistol. Other than that most players still seem to be running the same old 25/30/0/0/15 build.

Dung, pve, wvw mainly, sorry recently had surgery so still messed up on mess haha train of thought is weak. These benchmarks are what I’ve gotten from high fractal level thieves or some of the wvw commanders/participants I run with. These numbers also seem semi decent to me based on current numbers I manage. My hear is currently zerker with balk orbs, knight Jewelers other than quiver n vine. Zerker daggers with fire and +5 crit digits. 10/30/0/15/15 I believe for 3 dodge and extra initiative.
My current stats:
14.3k hp
2.4k toughness
54% crit chance
81% crit damage
3.03k power
0 heal power

I think that’s all I can tell you. But yeah I’m just a bit short in each category.

Thanks again for the reply!!
