Is this a good build for wvwv and dungeons?
Hey! note that this is just my personal opinion. but here is just my 2 cents
I think it’s pretty hard for a thief to settle with a build for both WvW and PvE.
because, in WvW thief’s strongest side is to hit n run. D/P / Shortbow is imo so superior.
But in dungeons, i think D/D or S/P is the strongest builds we have atm.
I’m running S/P / shortbow 25/30/0/0/15 in PvE and D/P / Shortbow in WvW but can’t remember the traits out of my head.
I think a shortbow is a must in PvE, its decent sustain in ranged dmg which you gonna need. and good blast finisher for team utility.
and for me, it’s too much soldiers, i personally don’t think its needed.
I could link my builds/traits tomorrow, a bit late for me now.
The big problem is a PvE build and WvW build realy can not go hand and hand if you want to be as effective as you can be.
That said I have had some success in WvW with that build. The problem in WvW right now is if you want any burst at all you sacrifice all defence of any kind.
Well since i will be wvw 90% of the time, am just not sure what build i should pick. The one i made, by looking at the numbers seem like it could some pretty good damage. I like d/d the cDn play style and the S/D for heavy boon players. I am at level 47 right now and i am not very effective wvw and i expect that. i been practicing even at that level because it helps me to see what i can and can not do. I want to be the guy the taunts and annoys enemy zergs. I was thinking that koroshi’s build let me be able to do that. Since i have a dd ele which is my main i know how to kite in long fights since that is what i am best at. I never been a real burst player because i don’t enjoyed it.
You’re perfectly capable of speccing for both WvW and PvE, you just can’t be 100% optimal in both.
I took off some soldier trinkets and i think i am going to go with this http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/thief/?7.4|8.1p.h4.8.1p.h17|c.1g.hb.8.1g.h1a|1c.71j.1c.b1j.1c.71j.1g.71j.1c.71j.1c.71j|2s.0.2s.0.3s.0.3s.0.2s.0.2u.0|0.u39b.u145.a2.0|0.0|57.5c.5h.5b.0|e for wvw, the numbers look good and i still think with those numbers i will be able to do nice burst damage if need be, agree or disagree?
