Guild Wars 2

I decided to do a thief p/p build for you guys since there are not really many p/p builds out there this build is my build I run with with my dual pistols. Its an survival build so you are going to have a lot of heals but some crit damage as well.
here is the link on the video I made:

please check the description in the video for a more detailed view of my p/p build

Good luck! I would not encourage anyone to run with P/P though. MH Pistol does significantly less DPS than it is supposed to because of an issue with Vital Shot’s attack speed, which forces you to stack power and rely on Unload spam to do anything worthwhile. This in turn destroys the utility of the set as it leaves you with no initiative to spend tactically.

It’s just altogether borked right now, but I’m optimistic it’ll be addressed soon.

I agree the p/p is a bit broken but I love playing with them it takes a bit of skill knowing when to pop that heal and so one but I can handle a few guys with my pistols just dont let them hit you. You have to watch that health at all times. My best fight with p/p was against 1 vs 4 I went down one time but my bleeding got the guy so I rallyed to finish off the other two but it was a tough but a good fight. Remember to stealth when you want to finish a guy other wise your dead if there is more than 1

Im p/p 25-30-15-0-0 and it rocks, other than warrior i can handle anyone and in zerg mashes i just hop in and out of stealth rocking ppl who get to 50% health and hop back into stealth, all about skill i dont see nearly as much skill being applied to theif for how much potential as it has

Stealth is what the thief is all about I think they build the thief around the idea of stealth so if you are not using it your kinda missing out. I can take a warrior but Mesmers is the one thing I have a lot of trouble with you cant really get dmg on them and my stealth is only so much so they give me a hard time. I really have to go all out to win them. For Warriors I have range and I can doge a lot so I can stay out of there way but they are hard as well

That’s the build my 77 thief is running with in wvw. Yes it is an unload spammer/stealth hider but it works pretty well with the extra initiative and I run with my guildies all the time so I’m not out there solo which lets me get away with using Haste a lot.

I usually use S/D in my main, but P/P is my go-to set for bosses and groups – I love that I can still use utilities like Caltrops while remaining at range. The on-demand Daze is a great panic button IMHO.
