I want a good thief build for pvp and wvw
I heard a scrub died in pvp.
Maybe try using axe?

It seems to be highly rated.
Ohh I don’t know maybe any build using D/P P/D S/D D/D as a weapon set. Builds where you utilize your great mobility, evades, and/or stealth and do not over extend yourself. Those generally work.

Man, dont you just hate that kind of warrior. I mean every warrior. They run away more than we do.
sad part is they probably do it better too :P

sorry, i used to play warrior and now i play thief, my fight reset rate is so much higher on my thief. stealth is gold, so is short bow 5. i don’t even need to run away to reset fight.

D/p can atleast keep you alive vs wars and necros but its only effective for solo queing in tpvp and getting some kills. In tournies i hear venom share is all the rage now so might as well try a bunker cond build with venom share.
Edit: I enjoy a caltrops d/d cond build in tpvp atm which is great for group fights on top of objectives but not great in 1v1 situations.
Necros and warriors tend to stay on points while fighting btw.
Wvw d/p is objectively the best choice against anything really as it performs equally well in almost all situations, though you ll be hated for using it.

Most annoying thing for me with a Warrior… hitting Endure Pain x2 (from trait) back-to-back, and then Vengeance. Such a waste of 30~ seconds.
No, actually…none of those weapon sets beats either necro or warrior when set to their OP builds.
Here’s why:
Warrior doesn’t lose any hp to any ranged thief builds, period. They can stand still and never have to use heal and never go down, ever. Cancel ranged.
Necro is all AOE and has no problem hitting with ranged AOE feardhuumspam and throwing the entire book of condis on you. Thief has NO way to remove all conditions except from lyssa runes. The most that can be removed is 3 conditions with a 50 second CD or heal if you get hide in shadows, 30 sec CD and you must not be disabled (fear etc.) to be able to cast it. During the entire time you are taking burning damage from dhuum. Melt, melt, melt, dead. You can’t kill these necros with thief even if you manage to dodge and evade out of half the condis. They hit hard with condi spam and have tons of HP. Impossible to beat with thief.
Warrior gets in melee range of you and perma stuns you. You escape, heal, rinse, repeat. Each time you have to back off and evade to avoid damage he is still healing and easily recovers full HP before you can return to a good situation for fighting. If you use anything to poison/etc. him, he can pop zerk stance or any number of other things to make the condis fall off. So you can’t kill with condis or power. Warrior is unkillable by thief. Ask anyone who rolls healtankwars, they just laugh anytime a thief challenges them because it’s one of the easiest wins for them.
