Guild Wars 2

I used to play GW2 when it first came out, thou had to drop it due to many different reasons (Back then I played a ranger ). However I wanted to try something new and I am quite interessted in the thief class. How are they doing atm (In every aspect of the game).

Every info would be highly appreciated.

Patch was just released. Matchups are all in flux at the moment. Give a little while for the meta to settle.

From what we can gather so far though, don’t run D/D balanced build anymore….. sniff

BACKSTAB IS FINALLY NOT AS EFFECTIVE!!! Sorry, I never liked back stab thieves as a person who has only played thief since launch. Now more builds such as the p/d power build ( https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/Build-Oscuro-s-LRB/first#post3864235 ) are more effective. Btw, a skilled thief playing a p/d power build is lethal.

thief is fine for the most part. the condition meta is here and i see plenty of people running p/d now (almost exclusively in wvw though).

seriously… HOW can you call a P/D a power build? there is no burst, auto attack is slow and harmless, you got a 1sec imob, a teleport that requires you to be in melee range a ranged short duration cripple and CnD and sneak attack is a condi ability just like death blossom.

I miss the POWER part of this so called power build

P/D shines as Condi spec that is true, but it’also a set possible for a power build. Not as easy and cheese as P/D condi though
