Am i the only one here who’s been doing a lot of PvP WvW post patch that doesn’t know what to do with themselves? I’ve been trying SD builds, DP builds but ever since that Feroc nerf to my precious DD I feel…..hollow and I refuse to go PD, maybe try PD power at one point but for the most part no. Now there is a thread on how to get some lost damage back but that’s not the point of this thread. Trying so many builds to try and call one your “Vanilla build” has been unsuccessful, it’s like having an identity crisis since you know what’s supposed to be there just doesn’t seem to fit anymore
side not are wurm runes a nice alt to strength? Thinking about salvaging my armor for the Traveler runes and selling them to put that gold elsewhere on other runes……
Identity crisis?
I spend 3 days trying out new specs, play styles, weapon sets….
I went full grass, went control, went condi, tryed alot of combinations of weapons and whatched alot of 1v1’s to see what they were using.
Came up with my own build and play style, different from what appears to be the meta and it is working better then expected!
What seams to be the meta is S/x. that work very well and a few P/P poison specs recently but imo they are not that good.
Ok… what works for me mught not work for many other thieves but I have been very sucessfull with my build but feel free to try it out if you wish.

The last trait in SA is the new one that applies 5 stacks of Confusion.
It is an atrition spec and I can outlast almost anyone, in some cases, it I’m fighting a Glass cannon, I can burst him down faster then I use to with the “meta” D/P build.
I’m very happy with it.
All of this to say, instead of coming here to the forums asking for the “job done” you should try out different things yourself and find what works for you. Cuz what works for me, may not work for other players it is a matter of play style and skill
