I was wondering if this is a good Thief build for WvW. I can solo and also help in Zerg here and there. Also, could I do basic dungeons with this build?

The main thing I want to know if it is good is the gear from this guide.

Not bad, but if you are going for D/P i would swap 10 point from Acro to Crit strikes so you have more burst power.

You dont need the dodge + inti regen from acro since D/P is a stealth build, you can get it all just by going into stealth.

About your gear you are full zerk, thats the best possible dps gear for you build but i prefer mix some parts of armor with soldier stats so i can handle some bursts in zerg fights where sometimes i cant pay attention to everyone around me

But in the end it all comes down to your personal gameplay style play with what you enjoy

For dungeons I would recommend using offhand dagger for boss fights. The blinding field from offhand pistol is very strong for pvp or trash mobs, but anything with defiant won’t be affected by it and d/d has better dps for PVE content. It only costs 3 silver to redo your traits and I would probably trait to something like 25/30/0/0/15 for dungeons. It’s higher dps and will bring some utility for your tream. The linked build uses full zerk gear, but if you aren’t comfortable with that you can mix in a little soldiers and work your way to zerk.

If you aren’t going to take felines grace, then I would prefer to go 10/30/30/0/0 and get that damage and healing from mug. Although felines grace can be mixed with bowl of orrian truffle and meat stew to get incredibly endurance regen.

Looks like a viariant of 0/30/30/10 to me. I still grab 5 more points in crit rather than acrobatics.

I would also swap in 2 soldier pieces. For itemization and stat optimisation I would reccomend you to look at this thread:
