Guild Wars 2

Hey all am a long time GW2 player since launch but I have never got around to playing a thief.
Any advice for a no obligation thief would be greatly apreciated.
Also is p/p really that bad?
Thanks

A bit of general tips in there.

p/p is not in the meta, so you will struggle competitively . But still you can run it and have fun. Like I know Vincent runs it in WvW, I’ve tried it in WvW (zerg’ing) and found it interesting. Even used it in (PvE) Silverwastes. You want ricochet (trait), signet of malice (healing skill) or withdrawal, and probably roll for initiative (skill) to spam unload.

Don’t worry though, because your playing a thief, your build is automatically cheesy, skill-less, and OP – to some.

Beginning to have an urge to create a “Beginners List” … Real life doesn’t permit me to do so atm though. Lurking too much, makes you see patterns of different discussion brought up often. Like everyone wants to nerf the thief, hence that list got created. Lately there’s been 1-2 people a week asking for (various) advice/tips – a new list can be born…
