Guild Wars 2

Just wanted to throw this out there for some entertainment. Some fun roaming footage I took of a few 1v2/3/+. Before anyone starts with the “P/D is OP” argument… I don’t care… It’s fun and I’ll play it till they nerf it, then respec to something else… Enjoy

Nice video, would you mind telling me what gear/runes/sigils/acc you are running?

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Gear is Carrion (Power/Vitality/Condition)

Runes, I run 2 of each – Afflicted/Krait/Centaur for the +condition damage and bleed duration

Sigils are Agony and Bloodlust

sorry not trying to down you, but you have a lot to improve on. Your timing with cnd is off and your skillchoice awkward. You shouldnt need shadow refuge (needs to be nerfed) or blinding powder but focus more on applying poisons to get your targets down faster. Also Daggerstorm is the worst elite to choose as a p/d condi, Thieves guild or even basilisk or reaper of grenth suit the build 10 times better. Again, use the condition damage to your advantage, not as a bystand.
Also, killing upscalers doesnt show the true quality of P/D.

Thanks, I can see how 1v1 I wouldn’t really need shadow refuge or blinding powder but I like to 1v2 and 1v3. They seem to serve a better purpose in my build than venoms. I’ve tried different elite skills and switch between daggerstorm and thieves guild but find that daggerstorm works best in groups when there are ranged. Don’t get me wrong, it’s come back to kick me in the face a few times but for the most part fits better with my style and works how I want it. Upscalers? Neo, half the people in WvW are upscalers, there are plenty of ‘non upscale’ peeps in the vid. I’m sure you have your own style on your thief, as I have mine. You have any vids of your style to compare?

this guy must have skipped to middle of video and watched or something. The opening engagement I saw shadow refuge on his skill bar 0 times how many times did you see it?

He is running venom it looks like he switches venom for refuge just depending on situation. Since he is asuran I highly doubt he is going to run reaper of grenth since you know he is asuran. Maybe he could run reaper of golem? lol

Not bad I prefer to see a P/D video that isnt running all invis like BP and SF. I run P/D but I use Refuge and shadow step I don’t know how you get by without shadow step though. I did run BP for the escape since its kinda like a stun breaker but I like shadow step better incase I do have to get out. If I know Im going to fight I switch out SoS for spider venom or caltrops sometimes I dont run SoS at all just depends. Not bad though.

I don’t think they will nerf this build it is a single target condition build its not op. Its like a Necro that only applies 1 or 2 conditions on 1 target instead of AOE.

Thanks oZii. I switch shadowstep in sometimes in place of venom/shadow refuge. If we only had room for one more utility we would have it made!

I would use shadow’s refuge instead of black powder, and dagger storm is okay if you are fighting against a zerg.

Thanks for the vid. This shows all these “Thieves are not op” that they actualy are OP.

so please, make a thief and come crush us !

Painful to watch how you fight mesmers. You can’t find your target from clones and on top of that you try to stomp a clone. Next time, watch out for the big red arrow. I must admit it was equally painful to see how those necros handled your conditions.

Subpar gameplay, opponents are mostly underlvld and oblivious/bad players, obnoxious attitude from emotes. Pretty much a random bad fotm player, you’ll probably move on to the next fotm build/prof soon and be equally bad at it. Please don’t make videos atleast.

No thief hate, I know they are ridiculously good roamers/1v1 spec in wvwvw due to the culling atm. Been roaming with a daggadagga spec for the past 1.5 weeks. Ganking/spiking someone is ridiculously easy and hate to admit it, but it’s good for relaxing and doing some solo play. Would choose something else for groupfights though.

What skill traits are you running?

i’m sorry to say that i didn’t like it very much … you are facing almost only green arrows and you made tons of mistakes …

lol@flesh golem @ 6.40 smashing his head against the bridge!
