Guild Wars 2

Alright so I’m a l72 thief right now, and I play to be 80 by atleast Sunday.
But I have a couple of questions.

1) What are the most viable weapons for pve/dungeons? Leveling up I went through d/d, s/d, p/p, and I am now on d/p (which I’m liking the most). But my issue is that I don’t want to spend time/gold/whatever on a weapon that honestly isn’t the best I could be using. I’m focusing on precision and power. I know everyone says that it’s personal preference. I get that. But I just don’t want to waste time on getting a certain weapon, when I know there is a better option.
Also if you could throw In a rotation that’d be great. Right now I’m doing d/p, I do
F1 #5, #2 for stealth, #1 for backstab then I let it go through a rotation on #1 and repeat unless the mob is around 25% hp (if it is I spam #2 until it’s dead)

2) For dungeons, what stats should I be selecting? I’ve been choosing bezerker for the power and precision. Good choice?

Lastly, 3). Are theives ideal in pve? I mean honestly, I’ve read that we do the most single target dps, but are thieves really wanted for dungeons? I’ve watch a couple different videos and it really just seems like people like to have thieves to make everyone invisible to pass trash mobs.

if I could get some constructive feedback on this that’d be greatly appreciated.

1) D/D or anything that pleases you.
2) Berserker. Most damaging stats for us Thieves.
3) everybody is wanted in dungeons, this isn’t WoW. Yes, thieves are needed to stealthly pass a few unwanted groups or do emergency ressing in the midle of fights, which is extremely important.

Ah okay. So I should have the invisible rev/faster rev in my build?

No need, you just place a shadow refuge. That way you and the downed guy are stealthed long enough for a rev.

Normally in PvE you take deadly arts, critical strikes and trickery. Maybe shadow arts if you have to stealth your group for a extended time. And unless you find the niche where Acrobatics is actually good and viable just forget that traitline exists.

Ah okay cool. Yeah I’m 99% sure I’m rolling with those things right now.
I buffed up the f1 skill to give the 3 buffs for 10 seconds, heal me, remove a condition, and lowered its cool down to 20. I also grabbed the trait that reduces cd on tricks so I use haste, shadow refuge, the precision buff, and for the elite I use dagger storm.
Excuse my lack of knowing the actual skills names haha. I’m at work atm.
