Guild Wars 2

The idea behind this is to forfeit the re stealth of d/p and focus on becoming extremely evasive with triple dodge + s/d

Just a thought I find it pretty fun to play and overall pretty durable with the exception still being burn guard but some things can be adjusted to account for them.

Weapons: s/d + sb

Heal: withdrawl
Utility: Shadowstep / Bandits Defense / Blinding Powder
Elite: Impact Strike

Spec=
Trickery – 3 / 1 / 2
Acrobatics – 3 / 3 / 2
Daredevil – 1 / 2 / 3

Amulet – Marauder
Sigils – s/d = air / fire
sb = air / energy
Rune – Rune of Melandru (others are dolyak / vampirism)

Playstyle -

The idea behind this build is super evasive, and strong steady damage.

You are always using sword 3/3 and dodge. your dodge damage is tough to land but it does 2-3k dmg on crit + your evades from sword 3 you are INCREDIBLY illusive. Your survivability will be tremendously high even in heavy team fights.

If you can master balancing your energy and initiative you will be very untouchable in the 1v1

Add onto it Bandits Defense is amazing, the knock down + block is incredible and same with finishing with impact strike

My biggest struggle will still be burn guards which is why i would recommend switching trickery to shadow arts taking the first tier 3 choice of condi removal and making more use of blinding powder and dagger 5 and if necessary switching withdraw to hide in shadows

I hope you guys will give this build a try, i love my thief and after getting one shotted in HoT zones i decided to take my frustration to pvp to make a “tankier” build and im having a blast with it. Very fast paced and has a high skill ceiling.

Questions comments concerns?

Thanks,

Not really.

To run away…

But then a wild ranger appears!

Gotta love stale fights.

Yes and no.

Overall I’ve been running this build in the BWE’s and truly had some fun with it but it’s merely just for trolling IMHO. The damage is just isn’t enough to fight anything unless against afk’ers. I’ve subbed in DA for Acro and have seen a very noticeable DPS improvement, you should try it!

ill have to try it out thanks for the feedback

sry dude but you can’t even pressure a zerker with this build.

Yeah it has a lot of evade and stuff but you don’t do damage at all.
