Guild Wars 2

Hello I play S/D thief in WvW but mainly D/D, S/P, Shortbow for PvE. I just want to ask if the changes are really good for thief or would it be more worth it to reroll to warrior or something.

Thanks for your time all responses appreciated!

Thief is always worth it, when you win clearly outplaying your opponents!
It is worth it now and will be in HoT, but if you want to know if HoT is gonna make thief OP, well it’s too early to guess it from just traits. We don’t know anything about stats and amulets yet

Thief is always worth it.

Always this.

So… according to the livestream today, Thief can now use Executioner AND Hidden Killer traits at the same time; and that’s on top of a +5% damage increase to all Dagger skills? That can’t be right…
Still, I’m having a hard time seeing what the “Thief nerf” is here.

Thief will have some really strong builds from what we can tell so far…

Well strong but even more glassy. Hidden Killer and Executioner bring a huge buff. While Cloaked in Shadow as a Grandmaster basically kills the sustain on D/D. Also there is no Master Shadow arts trait useful for WvW Roaming or any solo play at all. They could just switch out shadow protector with Cloaked in shadow and lower some damage if needed. Thiefs should be squishy but thats just pushing it too hard
