Guild Wars 2

I’m a new thief and was wondering what the optimal solo thief build is for arah.
I know the meta atm is 6/6/0/0/2 but was wondering if there was a solo build out there and what traits would I be bringing and why.

Thanks in advance!

I’m not trying to be mean here, but I highly recommend you to attempt to read ATLEAST 2-4 pages of this forum before the next time you post. I’m 100% certain there’s at least 3-4 posts within 3 pages about your topic.

just one, on the second page, but it mostly is for path 2.

Ice,
for me at least, It depends on the path. and then knowledge of the path. Generally i still keep 6,6, and then float the 2 points for different encounters. Such as path 2 Belka, i put the 2 in SA for the condi removal. But i generally fight her double dagger vs the pistol dagger suggestion in the other thread.

for Lupi there are a couple different ways to go I think, taking x,x,x,3,3 for the Vigor on dodge and the extra initiative is the defensive and safer route. but that will ultimately depend on how you want to run it.

nuts and bolts to it. Because of the ability to change traits on the fly it has opened up so many variances to the world its just up to you to experiment with it and learn more about what you are getting into and what you can do to mitigate the threat.

if you come across a specific thing you are struggling with, come back here and see what they have to say about that specific thing. and go from there.

regardless though. GOOD LUCK!!! is good times in there.

Need damage? 66002
Need more dodges? 56030

I see. Thanks for the reply. I’m coming from being able to solo arah on warrior to a whole new class that’s a lot more of an active play style. Def will have fun working on mastering thief probably lupi and alphard will be the biggest problem.

outstanding!

Since you already know the encounters you are already a step ahead of the game.

from my experience. like i was saying before.

I took 2 in SA for the condie removal at belka. I have not tried it with sword pistol yet.
I took the 3 in acro for the extra dodgy for Lupi. ( i am not as good as i would like to be yet )
Still working on a concept for Alphard personally. let me know how you do it
have not made it to Brie yet so… ( yeah i am a scrub )
I have been just ranging the Ooze in p1, still trying to figure out how to Melee it.
still trying to work out a method for the entities. so i have not gotten farther yet.
the orbs are still troubling me, even though i know thief is one of the few classes that can solo them. just cant seem to have the right utilities timed well…

yeah i am a scrub,
Let me know what you find out and learning is always a good thing
