So, i have a level 37 thief. I would love to make her to 80 since thief is an interessting thief with the initative system etc.

But still. My problem that prevents me to level her up is the “Squishy-ness”. I am used to a bunker necro with 31k HP and a bunker warrior. Therefor i really want to have some survivability.

Thats why i am asking for a build that makes me able to survive. I am mostly interessted in mid-high levels Fractals and WvW

Appreciate all the help i can get Thanks

We can’t bunker. We can evade. Focus on Shadow Arts and the line below that, and use a Shortbow and S/D for the evasions. Use withdraw. Once you get pinned, you should have a stun breaker because you WILL die within seconds regardless of gear choice. If you burned all your stun breakers (Sword has infinite, so if you have a different weapon) run for your life. Ensure you steal boons, because if you don’t you’ll die. That’s what the thief is, forced into one particular build to be semi effective. Enjoy~
