Guild Wars 2

So I’m new to Guild Wars and wanted to play as a thief. I want to play WvW in the future and wanted to know if there’s anything that I should know/do. Thanks!

Well, go full glasscannon backstab for fun and feeling pro when quickly killing some dudes :P Or just play however you like?
I usually play sword/pistol, pistol/pistol or pistol/dagger with shortbow. I have the most fun with those builds.
One tip is….always have a way out of the fight. don’t get drawn in too much and don’t be kill hungry as it will most likely get you killed instead :P

Enjoy the hunt!

OK! Thank you!

My advice is do get kill hungry, do get drawn in to far, and do die a bunch. One thief can really have some fun on wvw messing with larger groups. And nothing is more fun then chasing someone into their Zerg where they think they will be safe and then stealth spiking them while his friends try to Res him.

I guess maybe aim for the middle ground. I see a bunch of thieves in wvw who are basically a non factor because they run at the first sign of trouble.

Hahaha true about killing a dude in his own zerg, that’s pretty cool. I do not advice it for new thieves because the multiple deaths can be demoiralising. If you get the hang of the Thief and its capabilities, he can be very very very mean :P

Also…if you solo a warrior….do enough damage to let him survive and use his skill 3….then dodge him and go in stealth….wait a bit…dance and laugh as he dies trying to find you…so much fun :P
