Hi! I’m looking for some help in completing my thief’s build; I’ve got a few things worked out, but not sure yet on runes/sigils or traits.

Race: Human.

Weapons: I just like the way these play the most.

Dagger/Pistol

Shortbow OR Pistol/Dagger

Utility Skills I like:

Shadow Refuge
Roll for Initiative
25% movement signet
Shadowstep
Blinding Powder

I don’t like venoms or traps in general.

Elite Skills:

ANY of the 3. However basilisk venom would only be paired with a rune that activates upon elite skill…

Not quite sure what to do with my traits, so I’m open to suggestions.

Healing Skills:
Hide in Shadows OR withdraw. Like them both.

Could any expert thief help me fill in the blanks?

Edit: Sorry, forgot to mention. I like WvWing and PvE (dungeons, events, the whole shebang).

Traits depends on how you play and use these weapons. Heavy hitting, burst or sustained, stealth, mobility.

Runes, sigils, trinkets and armor tune in with those, complementing or further specializing the choices made with the traits. Armor and runes are also the most expensive and harder to change then skills, traits, trinkets and weapons.

I am running a 0-0-30-25-15 build and loving it. Full condition/precision/toughness gear. 30% chance to lifeleech on crit combined with 66% chance to life leech on crit food is really nice for keeping your health full. Cloak and Dagger heals for about 1000 with Shadow’s rejuvenation while stacking bleeds.

My only problem is chasing runners, because of the lack of a root or stun.

I thought I had created this build, because I couldn’t find anything like it. Then I mentioned it in guild chat and was told it is a pretty common survival build, or near the common build for survival/condition.
