Is thief still pvp viable?
I’d ignore metabattle but that’s just my distaste for mixing a highly skill/play style dependent class with a set of pre-made builds.
Thief is pvp viable in any event.
Yes. It is. Takes more work and coordination than the other classes, but it’s still great.
How about staff thief? What tier is that viable in? (I know the season is over, but bronze, silver, gold, plat are good benchmarks)
What about other non-d/p builds like s/d and s/p?
P/D was viable in high gold low platinum.
I’ve seen S/X in a couple of matches but the more recent buffs likely make it a lot more viable. Will. E interesting to see people try it out in the off season.
Yes, thief is very viable since there really isn’t a class you cant 1v1, yes including guards (ive killed quite a few of those, warriors, and eles)
Once youre good with it mesmers even become play things (except the sword and shield ones, gotta be careful with them)
I run primarily s/d, I switch to p/d whenever I feel like having a few giggles
Its a really fun profession once youre used to it
I did a pvp match yesterday and with S/D you can get some amazing crits. Like Lord Velar said i can even get those Guardians and Rangers now. Before if i saw a guardian I would run the other way :P
