Looking for the appropriate build for the, “Never leaves stealth once”, “Trap/Condi spammer”, build.

Yes I know it’s stupidly easy to use
Yes I know it may make me fall asleep using it
Yes I know people will more than likely report me for, “Hacking”.

But, I want be that guy who people HATE seeing in WvW, and who better to do that, then a build that allows you to stay in stealth 24/7 even in combat, while delivering pain/bombs onto targets, ect.

Thanks!

is it that hated? I think it looks entertaining. I’ve always been a big fan of a more strategic approach rather than UGH KILL FAST. and this definitely requires a strategy and a preparation. it’s like setting a trap with a glass of water on top of the door and wait giggling till someone opens it and gets soaked XD

Pending on what toon im on, I make it a point to kill ghost teefs when I see em. Saw 2 roaming the other day but me and a rev buddy of mine smoked em. They were better 1v1 than 2v2

This is the one we use. Tough players get the Mistfire Wolf. If you have access to that, it applies burn stacks using your condi values. The ticks from it can be crazy good.

This build does have stealth gaps, but that doesn’t seem to matter much.

LOL – wrong Rune. It’s Rune of the Trapper.

Got to laugh, ANet has now significantly buffed Ghost Thief twice now.

Replace Caltrops (utility skill) with Spider Venom – especially if you are roaming with non thief or havoc. This also allows you to take Bountiful Theft which means you can occasionally pressure Resistance from Durability Runes and even make Revenants and Resistance Warriors run.

Replace Mistfire Wolf with the much better alternative, Take Root (for when you get revealed, you get immunity). And it synergizes with AoE Spider Venom too. Or just take Thieves Guild. Reaper of Grenth is super strong too.

Don’t use Shortbow unless traveling. Use dual Dagger/Pistol. That gives you the option to use Sigil of Geomancy without hassle on both weapon sets which is better than Malice (you also don’t need even more condition duration).

You can actually have too much condition duration if you are giving up significant significant condition damage to replace. Dual Needle Traps (with healing skill) covers the crucial Immobilize condition duration issue.

This is the build. Ghost Thief Link

Note, food choice is up to you. Condi duration food is the easy alternative.

I recommend either two traps (plus Heal and trap) or taking Blinding Powder for gaps where using Black Powder/Heartseeker is not ideal.

Don’t forget you are a formidable defensive damage dealer with Dagger 3 (blind)/Dagger Auto (poison/weakness) spam even if you screw up too. Also don’t forget Daze on Pistol 4 (if you are in a 1v1 situation) since if the target gets below half health and is struggling, the heal skill will be used.

Posting here so ANet nerfs this hard. It’s the most trolling no risk build out there right now and is good candidate to make traps utilities work differently on WvW only maps.

please quit posting builds on this guys, no matter how sub par they maybe. Also, quit acting like this has no counterplay.

Ghost trapper doesn’t usually run trapper runes. All of the stealth comes from D/P.
