Guild Wars 2

Hey all,

I have a thief at lvl 50 and last I played I was leveling with daggers (LLD) and caltrops for the Aoe bleed and damage. I’m coming back to level the thief up, but have no idea with the new changes of an efficient leveling build + weapon set. I want to play something beyond ldb and caltrops, but hate the pistol whip spam for leveling, pushing 3,3,3,3 is boring as hell for leveling, anyone have any ideas or builds please?

Thanks a ton.

P/P… P/D …. D/P ………

there are plenty of builds. it’s not just the weapons you choose, it’s the utility/elite and traits. do some research or check out the forums, every page people are talking about their builds.

Sword dagger is a good one to try. it doesn’t drop the shadowstep of sword, and it still has a ranged and stealth. and the dual skill is pretty damaging in itself.

So i’d say give S/D a try. You won’t be hitting 3 all day.

For Leveling id say go for Shortbow and Sword/Pistol. Use Thieves Guild + Ambush trap and two utilities of your choice. Its the most effective way to level tbh. As for build. Work towards 30 Critical Strikes, 20 Acrobatics and 20 Trickery.

S/P+SB has a lot of different ways it can be run but in terms of leveling it is by far the most effective weapon set, combined with the stat placement you’ll actually find that the game gets easier with you level increasing to the point where dungeons are relatively easy and high level areas like Orr are a total joke.
