Hey guys, I made a thief, really like the sneaky playstyle.
I want to dig this profession but got a few basic problems.
What weaps/build should I use in pve and wvw?
The most important, what is the rotation for d/p? I tried to train in mists but i dont know the best combination of skills and its hard for me to figure out the best combo.
Thanks in advance.

For WvW if you run in zergs/are a commander like me you are going to want to run full zerker armor and weapons with healing power and defensive trinks. You could probably get away with healing power on your armor as well. Take 0/10/30/30/0 traits taking condi removal while in stealth as well as every single trait that gives you regen especially the one where you heal on initiative use.

Take signet of malice, blinding powder, shadow refuge, signet of shadows and dagger storm.

When in large group battles pop your dagger storm then spam 1 and 2 on your shortbow. If you get low pop blinding powder and shadow refuge and find a safe spot to regen up. Do not pop either of your signets. Once you are at 40% ish health head back in and dpam 1 and 2 again.

Another thing you can do is spam blast finish on your shadow refuge for mass aoe blinds which is highly effective. Remember if traited right thiefs have the highest self healing in the game mext to guardians.
