Guild Wars 2

I think I’ve made a pretty good dagger dagger gear setup/build for WvW roaming. Here it is:

Basically a standard 2/6/6 mug build. I’ll run through my gear choices.

I went for a mix of Valkyrie/Zerker with a Cavalier chest, ring and backpiece. I love cavalier on thief, most people just try to go for the most burst but I believe you can get so much more survival while keeping the same damage if you use cavalier. So I have 2.5k armor, which will sustain you enough in most situations, 2.3k to 2.4k power, and 225% crit dmg. In WvW I have about 15k hp, which could be better.

Ogre runes are awesome. They’re much cheaper than a lot of the good runes, and provide lots of power and ferocity. Rock dog is a small boost too.

Air + Fire sigils on daggers are great. You can always swap one of them out if you want.

I chose sword/pistol offhand because of the chase ability and crowd control. You can also choose sword/dagger or shortbow. I don’t use shortbow as much in wvw because of disabling shot’s nerf but that’s just me.

So, tell me what you think?

Edit: Renamed to Dagger Dagger gear setup

So basically the same build everyone uses already?

Ya I basically just told everyone that but slightly diff gear lol

So whats the point?

Gear setup for mor survivability but keeping the dmg

But people already do that. Thats why i said so basically the same build everyone already uses. And you don’t have about 15k HP, you have 13.7k

In WvW I have about 15k because of bonuses.

Edit: Besides, I see a lot of newer thieves with only 2.2k armor and full zerker, I’m just trying to help them out and for those that don’t know about the tankier gear setup. I’m aware that a lot of thieves already do this. It still can’t hurt to give out this setup.

i have 2.6k armor, 18+k hp with no bonuses on my thief. i still am able to nuke. and i don’t even use d/d when i throw a dagger on my mainhand it’s for the lulz of a 5k+ backstab
