Guild Wars 2

So I just hit 80, but this might be a bad time since there’s a stealth nerf coming in a few days.

I play a backstab/stealth D/D thief with Berserker gears and Valkyrie trinkets.

I was wondering how should I tweak my thief playstyle/gear to be able to cope up with the coming changes AND be effective in world vs world as well.

And btw, I die more times that I can kill in World vs world. I usually fight on zergs (not a fan of solo roaming).

I’m not a fan of conditions as well but I’m open to try it.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Zerg = avoid melee.
SB → spam random aoe from behind… loot bags.

Dunno mate you may be running the wrong build for zerg work. I’ve never ran D/D btw not a fan of that kinda one track spec- WvW always requires for me defensive aspects for survival. I wouldn’t be running around with less than 16K health – and I always equip some escape skills – my Spvp build is different. In WvW I use mango pie thingy and enable myself with being able to evade with rolls getting swiftness like a monkey stacking might at the same time. I think escaping alive is about as essential as killing so shadow step is a staple survival skill along with that. With that tbh I rarely die in WvW, well that and positional awareness. Shadowsteps not only enable me to attack over distance extremely fast but to get out darn quickly too if it goes pies up. Especially if you’re a part of a zerg you need ports back out stealth in AOE is still getting hit.
