Guild Wars 2

Hey All,

Had a question about gear for my thief. I’ve been playing around on my level 80 Thief for sometime now and having fun. I do a lot of WvW and PVE (dungeons). I had a question on gear.

I grinded out a full set of dire gear (armor and weapons only at the moment) doing CoE dungeon. I like to run conditions and find them fun.

However, i’d like to get another set of gear thats burst/power build. I am thinking of running d/d or sword/pistol (pistol whip is cool as hell).

That said, recommendations on a set to work for? I am also 450 on leathermaking so I can craft or grind dungeon gear.

Lastly, I have a lot of comms saved up that I have not spent yet. here is what i have saved up:

-200 laurels
-60 guild comms
-900 badges of honor
-600,00 karma
-little over 150 fractal comms

Also, have a mixed bunch of dungeon comms (200 per dungeon).

Just wanted to get some ideas for gearing and what to spend my comms on.

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

TCG

There’s a couple of schools of thought on power based armor. Some swear by full zerker and others by full valk. I generally like a mix of soldier and zerk for armor with zerk everything else.

Head-Soldier
Shoulders-Zerk
Chest-Soldier
Gloves-Zerk
Pants-Soldier
Boots-Zerk

There’s a thread around here called building a better D/D thief. Those armor choices are based on stat points per % crit damage tradeoff. I like runes of the traveler, but they’re expensive. People say runes of speed are a decent substitute until you’ve got the gold. Eagle, scholar, lyssa, and wyrm are also decent depending on your preference/playstyle. Ruby/beryl orbs are acceptable if you’re hard up for cash.
