Guild Wars 2

Hey all, leveling a thief and was curious what the optimal WvW thief build is nowadays. I play WvW exclusively on my engineer and face lots of backstab thieves and don’t come across too many in zergs. I’d preferably like to roam, I want the ability to stealth on command/maintain stealth as zergs pass me by and pick off stragglers. Or to deter their roamers. I’d also like some utility to enter zerg combat and be able to stealth to the back and pick off casters/ranged and stealth back/escape. Does such a build exist?

TL/DR:
-Mobility for roaming
-High burst
-Stealth
-Somewhat defensive to take a hit, utilities/stealth will do the rest
-Any weapon/armor set to optimize this

If anyone can provide any information on how to achieve this or something similar that’s enjoyable in WvW, please post!

Thanks in advance,
Mord

this is a nice build I came up with, very tanky, has a lot of dodges and also very nice to disrupt a zerg.. it lacks in crit though.. Just give it a little check and see what you think mate..

^ the 2nd link shows the build in action.. notice you can take on 3+ people with this build.

Thank you!! I’ll check them out! Any other vids/builds for WvW that truly shine, please link them, I noticed on my engineer that I couldn’t really make a build myself without comparing dozens to get to know “base builds” and base stat thresholds that were required for the builds, etc. so the more the merrier as far as I’m concerned! Keep the builds rolling in so I can digest as much as possible on this class!

Thanks all,
Mord
