Guild Wars 2

HI all!

I have recently hit lvl 80 with my Human Thief, and noticed the Human racial Elite skill Hounds of Balthazar, and i began wondering if it is better than my current Elite, Thieves Guild. I can see that Hounds of Balthazar is having a minute more cooldown than Thieves Guild. What do you think? Also: which of the Thief Elite skills can be used underwater? ATM i am using Basilisk Venom, but i am not satisfied..

Thanks in advance!

Hounds may be better for PvE due to seemingly more AoE but TG wins for PvP hands down due to blinds and scorpion wire thing.

I prefer Dagger storm over both of these in PvE and PvP though.

The Basilisk Venom is the only Elite we can use underwater :/

IMO racial skill is weaker compared to profession skills

Okay, thanks Not sure if it’s worth the 30 Skill points

In the end it probably is since once you hit 80 you still “level” for skillpoints only so they are unlimited. I bough every skill because of this just to have them all. If you are leveling up though picking and choosing, yea skip it.

If you don’t ever plan on using it though, don’t spend the points on it. There are more than a few endgame materials, for legendaries and whatnot, that can only be bought with skill points, so I would make a conscious effort to save them over buying worthless skills.
