Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to get into sPvP. I’ve been playing mostly PvE on my thief since launch. I was wondering if anyone can critique two of these builds / items I chose. I essentially took existing builds and changed a few things for my needs. Credit to those who originally designed them.

Here they are:

Build 1 – Typical death blossom / dodge / initiative build

Purpose: sPvP, designed to run into large crowds of people and deal condition damage to everyone. Stays alive by dodging/death blossom

Not sure about: The runes on my daggers. The energy runes I like, but the other rune selection was difficult choice because most seemed useless due to the fact I heard they share global cooldowns.

Build 2 – Typical Backstab Glass Cannon
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQJAoYlUmKO3dy5E/5Ex2DfuTe6fgs6MoZLB-TwAg0CnI4SxlDHDXScs4MK4UwkiXBA

Purpose: Typical backstab build, sPvp, not really a team build, just for fun. Highest damage possible.

Things I’m not sure about: Rune selection. I did 3 power/3 precision runes. Would it be more useful to go 6 into just precision, or 6 into power? Also, unsure about 1 of the trait points in precision, the 7% crit when behind or side. Would furious retaliation or critical haste be better?

Any advice / hints would be helpful

Thanks
