How to enjoy this class?
Try different game modes, I can’t play thief in pve but love it in wvw.
Or just wait for HoT, since it’ll be a gamechanger.
This is the build I am currently running in WvW and it is working pretty well but is extremely glassy so you have to pick your fights. You will die on this build but you can also carve up 2-3 players in a fight before they know what hit them.
I trade Signet of Shadows out for various utility skills before a fight. It is there just to make running places more tolerable. Those utility skills include Refuge, Tripwire (do not underestimate how powerful this trap is since it can give you a massive opening for a backstab), smoke screen (nice against range or when you can fight inside of it) or Assassin’s Signet and pop it right before a steal/backstab.

reroll, thief sucks
Mesmer is unfun to play against and does everything better than thieves.
Hoping those two get gutted with nerfs
Run an evade Daredevil without shadow refuge. I did it on base thief and it is quite hard, but the adrenaline rush is quite addictive. Then they killed the style for really absurd reasons, so now its not just hard but unecessarily punishing and unrewarding.
If evade Daredevil without SR doesnt do it for you then go Sword/Sword Shiro/X Revenant
