Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone! Hope all is well.

Im a brand new player here (and to the forums aswell, so apologies if this is in the wrong spot), and decided to play as the thief. Yes, im aware of his nerfs. However, I have always wanted to be different, and besides, I have seen many thief gameplay with him, taking out six-seven enemies at once.

So basically…How do you use “the thief”? Is he a poor choice?

Thankyou!

First off, welcome to Tyria!

I’ve been playing thief as my main since head start. I recommend trying out all of the different playstyles and then choosing the best that works for you.

For myself, I play a S/P glass thief, with no stealth and high damage. I mostly play WvW as a duo/party roamer. I do not recommend my playstyle for solo-roaming or zerg warfare but I absolutely love it myself. I have never seen another S/P thief in battle so it’s definitely an under used playstyle in WvW, but one that I feel is excellent for providing great damage and control.

Anyways, send me a pm if it interests you and I can give you some more tips or what not. I’m always happy to help new players.
