Sorry should add in that I like to roam solo a lot. Just looking for a high output dps build.

So this is for WvW then?

The standard D/P or D/D build is x/30/30/x/0. So 30 points in both Critical Strikes and Shadow Arts and the final 10 points either in Deadly Arts for Mug or in Acrobatics for anything really.

Glassy you say? 4signet burst is as glassy as you can get. You engage with around 4500 attack. One shot or die

25/30/0/0/15 – D/D + SB – Signets of Power.

Nearly max damage, some damage traded for some utility I find more or less essential.
Basilisk venom, blow signets for might, cloak and dagger+steal and backstab, overkill dmg in most cases.


25/30/0/0/15 – D/D + SB – Variant, I call it; the assassin.

This one requires quick reflexes, I usually put on some soldier armor or valkyrie to be able to last some dmg in general since there will always be some if the fight lasts longer than 3 seconds. It has high mobility, you can also get travelers runes if you feel you need +25% movement speed.


10/30/0/0/30 – D/P + SB

Same build as you find lots of thieves using in sPvP, stealth on demand from BP+HS, and lots of utility.


10/30/0/0/30 – S/P + SB.

Another fun build, Pistolwhip got really nice some patches ago and there’s really good utility in this build.


Customize them after your own liking.
Scholar, Divinity, Travelers, Lyssa, and Ogre are my favourite rune sets.

Full zerker often feels too glassy in WvW, I often put some soldier or valkyrie to make
some room in case someone knows how to counter my spike.

These above are all glassy builds, you can however pick x/30/30/x/x to gain a lot of survival in stealth builds, but I feel it breaks the whole concept of being glassy.
