Guild Wars 2

Seems as though I’ve had more success with P/D, but I wanted to know which one was better. What situations are both best suited for? What kind of gear do you need for both? Which one is easier and which is more effective?
Thanks in advance!

D/P is always better as far as I’m concerned.

It has interrupts, blinds, and Free Roaming stealth outside of SR.

P/D has conditions, in combat stealth, and a gap creater.

Additionally, P/D is weaker with shortbow.

Also in that matchup D/P wins.

All that said, P/D is easier to play effectively.

Thanks Shockwave! Any more ideas people?

I think these weapons complement each other nicely and run both from time to time

But yea D/P > P/D any day of the week

A well played D/P is unbeatable IMO

P/d is cheesy and allows bad players to make mistakes and still win fights. D/P has more team usefulness via interrupts, quite safe stomps, blinds, and overall better burst allowing a quick negation of the other team dps.

Hmm…I was looking at some gameplay of D/P and people seem to only use #5 and #1 and the occasional #1 for a backstab. I don’t really like the gameplay, unless I’m mistaken, because you rely heavily on stealth. I think I’ll stick with P/D, sorry heh

Thanks for all the input!

That’s cuz they’re bad

Good D/P thieves make use of Headshot and Shadowshot

Play what is most fun to you but if anything P/D only uses 1/5 with the occassional 3
Rarely will you use 2 or 4

You don’t rely on stealth much with d/p ( assuming a real pvp build). In combat, you mainly use auto attacks and heartseekers for damage, and shadowshot/ headshot for interrupts and sticking to the target.You stealth only to decap points without being seen or for a quick backstab on a squishy.

After you’re post I played some D/P and wrecked! xD I guess thread closed…
