Just finished this video! It’s a Machinima that showcases thief p/p pvp. I know… I know… just spam “3” is the general consensus and that it doesn’t take a lot of skill to play but it was fun just to do for this video and it was very fitting as the song used is Bang Bang sung by Nancy Sinatra remixed by White Noise. Enjoy!

That was great! Can I ask, what build are you using? I forgot how much fun duel pistols can be.

WOAH!?!?! 2:30-2:58 HOW DID YOU COUNTER PERMA STEALTH EXPLOIT THIEF AND AN ENGINEER AND KILL BOTH!?!?! HOW!?!? PERMA STEALTH EXPLOIT THIEF OP, THIS IS FAKE BECUASE WHAT YOU DID IS IMPOSSIBRU. MUST BE CUZ ENGINEER WAS THERE AND IT NERFZ OP STLEAH BUILD.

Seriously though, nice, impressive and inspiring. Kind of want to try switching from p/d condi build in sPvP to what you’re running. Mind posting the spec?

Just a random thought but wouldn’t an unload build like this be pretty darn nasty with perplexity runes? Not sure how well this would work with a condition set instead of a the normal damage version.

Oh, and are you using THIS BUILD?

Hey, I recognize that build!

And yes, an unload build could work with perplexity runes. ANY build is nasty with perplexity runes because that entire rune set is hilariously broken.

Nice vid! I originally didn’t like P/P, but now I’m tempted to give it another ‘shot’….

I should have posted a link to my build that used! Sorry for that! Here it is:

It is very unconventional which is why I like it. For WvW I swap out Thieves guild for Dagger storm and Withdraw for Signet of Malice due to the larger groups of enemies. For spvp I like running with Thieves guild rather than Dagger Storm because the groups of enemies you come across are smaller. I also occasionally swap the runes to either Ogre or Divinity depending on my mood lol. I like blinding powder and Shadow refuge because it works well with p/p #1 ability when stealth (Sneak Attack). Just a little more burst to add to the Unloading.

For a different type of build, kind of a troll build, thieves guild, and ambush trap on Ogre rune proc is pretty cool. (4 minions, 5 if ambush trap isnt on cd and you have a thief up from it still.)

This build isn’t perfect, and it’s not for everyone. It just fit my play style when using p/p. I don’t like running condition builds so this build is what worked for me. I wish the best of luck to all of you who want to give p/p a try. Don’t let trolls discourage you from playing the game you want to play it. Cookie cutter builds are from proven builds that are guaranteed to work, but it’s always fun to try something new despite what others say. After all where do you think the cookie cutter builds came from?

Well first the engi was an upscale so he went down kind of easy. The Ricochet from hitting the engi was how the thief was taking so much damage. As soon as the thief was out of stealth I switched to him allowing the Ricochet to finish off the engi.

Hell has no fury like a woman scorned. Double that with dual guns.

Bang Bang, beautiful song, love it! May i suggest “These boots are made for walking” (also Nancy Sinatra) as your next video song … please?

Why people say P/P requires no skill? Thats what i main because its more fun and requires more on the spot decision making than my necro and guardian. Its not all spamming Unload as you need to have a reserve for those black smokes and headshots and even body shots, and initiative is so precious. Other professions have easier time as they can just pop whatever is off cooldown.

P/P is superfun and makes for cool videos too. Bang!

:P If only more people knew how to play/fight… And how there’s more than just the build component to the fight, there’s the person’s ability in the fight. Kind of like you explained here. Made proper decisions on the spot, fought correctly, and was able to kill what some people consider an OP build (and some people consider p/p not good/useless) plus an additional enemy. You knew both your build and what to do in the situation. Once again, good job.
