Guild Wars 2

Hey gang,

Finally picked up GW2 last week and I’m blown away at how great this game is.

I’m only level 20, but could use some feedback on what a more-or-less optimal direction would be for this build.

I’m a purely PvE player and have been going P/P with a focus on Precision and the Critical Strikes trait line. My approach to this point has been to Unload and kite repeatedly, Withdrawing and Rolling for Initiative as needed.

However, I wonder if my almost complete investment in Precision isn’t the wisest approach. I’m fairly squishy, but most of the time I can dodge my way out of things. Should I be investing decently into Toughness/Vitality?

Are there any nuances I should pick up on? I really don’t have a clue about Food yet and need to read up on that, I know that much…

When your leveing your gear should look like this
Power (Level 1-20)
Power/Precision (Level 21-54)
Power/Precision/Critdamage (Level 55-80)
For traits I would pick up Preparedness first (15 in Trickery), then rush for Executioner (30 in Critical Strikes), and finally fluid strikes (25 in Acrobatics).

Toughness and Vitality are completely useless for a Theif, even end-game. Your survivability is skill based, not gear based.

For food I’d just use whatever you have lying around, leveling is extremely easy. If you do want maximum leveling speed, make sure you pick up the “Gain swiftness on kill” trait. For food I would go something from the On Kill table (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Food#On_Kill). The “Spicy Meat Kabob → Plate of Truffle Steak Dinner” will most likely be your best damage increase.

Nuances? Never get hit, EVER. Also don’t get too reliant on Rolls cause you won’t be using them in dungeons.
