As the title suggests I plan on running a S/D thief in WvW and have been wondering what kind of weapons, trinket and armor/rune stats may fit the build best.

Thanks in advance for your answers

Now, I took the liberty of changing the traits to acro S/D meta build, since imo it would work much better overall while roaming. However, if you wish to remain using your trait spread, that is your choice, the overall armor recommendations don’t change (maybe add some more valk if you’re having trouble living).

Quick overview, fire/air sigils on sword since honestly they’re extremely strong currently and contribute a huge portion to your damage on s/d. Energy/fire on sb for a little more damage along with an extra dodge (which ends up being a dodge and a half with acro).

Pack runes because they allow for technically perma fury with the use of thrill of the crime (20s fury with ~20s cd overall between the runes and steal). Feel free to use strength runes if you’re using acro s/d since dodges will build up a bit of might.

Additionally I took out roll for initiative and put in infiltrators signet. Its just better overall. Shorter cd stunbreak and instead of getting initiative when you use it, you get initiative passively just by having it on your bar. Also is better for WvW, since you have a bunch of lil critters you can target and teleport to with it to quickly get away.
