Guild Wars 2

I just got my thief up to 80 and before I start spending a bunch of time and money on outfitting it I’d like to find a reason to play it over my other 80s besides just AoE stealth being handy.

To that end I’d like to hear what kind of builds you guys like and why. Any hints and tips would also be appreciated.

I just picked up my Thief again as my main because they are simply the most fun class to play. In PvE I played Guardian and Necromancer before Thief, and it was a lot of standing around with auto attack and shouts rolling. It is kinda tough to learn, but once you learn the Thief’s rhythm, it’s a lot of fun. If you want to get better at the game mechanics, play a thief.

And that was utterly unhelpful.

Shortbow is good AoE damage, D/D for melee damage. Rule is to always put 30 in critical strikes, then it’s up to you whether you want toughness and stealth or dodging and endurance. I’m currently playing P/P on my thief since the buffs they made for PvE, works pretty well ricocheting shots and the damage is pretty good. Overall, you’ll probably be squishier than most classes, but remember….

Everybody is a winner in Guild Wars 2.
