Guild Wars 2

HI everyone! So i have recently acquired level 80 on my thief which is my 3rd character to do so. I just want to hear your opinions on my build which has been working very well lately but I want to know if there any way to improve it. Right now all I do is WvWvW and dungeons.

I run short bow/dagger-dagger.

These are without food:

Attack: 3,314
Power: 2,243
Precision: 1,637
Armor: 2,144
Health: 16,810
Critical Chance: 38%
Critical Damage: 103%

Is it ok to have such a low chance? With having 100% crit in stealth?

I tend to consistently back stab over 10k without food and with it I can get some pretty ridiculous critical hits.

My trait line is:
25
30
10
0
5

Opinions would be appreciated and any insight into what I may need to fix.

Thanks!

you just pick up hidden killer for 100% crit if your worried about your crit chance.
i have 40% on my thief and my personal preference thats a good number, i still see alot of crits where it seems like its actually like 70% but i still pick up hidden killer to make sure my backstab lands

Your crit chance is fine. I assume you have the trait that increases crit chance from behind or the side right? Regardless, you’ll attack fast enough to where you will see alot of crits. There will be times where that one hit you needed didn’t crit but that’s life.

Yeah I have hidden killer for the 100% crit and I do run the trait for 7 percent increase from the sides or behind. Some guy in game was just trolling me because my crit chance was to low lol but glad to see I am in normal range.

Yeah dont worry about him. My chance is only 36% from the front, yet I still use the sigil of air, and still get a good amount of lightning strikes out

Id swap hidden killer to 20% @ <50% health. The reason is even with 38% base chance.. when you are over 90% health and backstabbing it’s really 50% so your big 30 point trait is actually being wasted 50% of the time since they would have been crits anyway. Instead they could be doing 20% more dmg on low health targets and you get that 20% dmg for all hits < 50% so it is more bang for that trait.

If you want to try something fun, go D/D + D/D. You already got mobility from heartseeker so it’s viable. You actually only need 3 daggers. On the main hands put superior sigils of intelligence. On the offhand put Force (not a proc one because it screws up the int sigil). Now you can stealth and then swap weapons to get a 100% crit backstab every 10 seconds and also have 20% more dmg to <50% health.

Depends on how much you love Shortbow.
