I decided to go and make my Incinerator, but I don’t have the precursor and mainly I am a WvW player. I have all everything Except some more obsidum shards, t6 mats and most importantly the Precursor. Since the only good way to make gold is by doing dungeons besides playing with Tp (which i never understood how to do). So I’ll be doing PvE like fractals and dungeons alot espically fractals and hence I am looking for a thief pve build to help me out. Looking Forward to all ur answers

Do you have much experience with Fractals and Dungeons? Because the “go-to” PvE builds are typically all about damage and not very forgiving to play for newer players.

Anyway, for your situation I’d recommend 5/6/0/3/0 while wielding Sword + Pistol most of the time. Remember that Black Powder is the single best asset a Thief brings to any party as it provides him and everyone near him with nigh impunity to melee damage against all but champion mobs.

The 15 points in Acrobatics are there for the added HP, which is a little more forgiving, and the generous dodges provided by Feline Grace. They aren’t really needed, strictly speaking, but they give you a lot of wiggle room if you’re less experienced.

Most of the time however you will just be using Black Powder every 4 seconds and auto-attacking.

30/30/0/0/10 has stepped ahead, at least for single target fights with Revealed Training being added as a trait.
Basically, you’ll want to run S/P for trash (sword cleaves, pistol whip cleaves hard, and you can spam a blind field that trivializes anything that’s not a champion or greater) and D/D for single target fights (highest single target DPS).
Below is a great guide for meta PvE:

There are a number of different ways to go about the thief business, in fractals particularly. Find yourself weapons you can rely on for basic encounters and then experiment with utilities and weapons for the hard stuff.
