Guild Wars 2

I’ve always been a major fan of P/P for power setups as something of a random ganking roamer. Does anyone know any decent builds to compliment it, or weapon sets to run alongside it for maximum effectiveness? So far, I’ve been running S/D+P/P for some hilarity, but as always certain classes wreck my kitten. Mesmers, DH’s, and Heralds always spell my doom.

So, backstabbers, pickpockets, and nefarious form lurkers, any help for a fellow teef?

Never seen the fun side of p/p. Nor do I see anything special about it (just my opinion) I do see the odd p/p in wvw though. I remember when they buffed unload dps there was a small hype where there was a fair few numbers of them, even used in gvg gank squads, but tbh even with unload they are pretty useless unless you use a melee main weapon and p/p as 2ndry

there’s this guy that does videos with woodenpotatoes sometimes, he made a thief P/P + D/P interupt build for WvW which seemed decent last time i watched, check it if you like the idea.

pretty much this even in roaming you can run a condi great sword warrior if you wanted to lol

Without richocet it is not the same. I loved p/p even with its potato range. Miss it.

P/P is somehow still bad after 3 years despite having the exact same simple and obvious problem all 3 of those years – presumably because their QA and balance people are just terrible.

That said, anything can more or less work in wvw.

There’re different ways to play Thief P/P.

Some examples found on the net:

Old school (no hot):

Stealth oriented:

I’m playing Thief P/P for three or four months both in WvW and PvE.

Acutally I play a dodge oriented P/P daredevil and it’s very dynamic and pleasant.

The only thing I’ve not tried for the moment in PvE is the raid. Normally i soon should try that with my guild.

In WvW, I play it as a Skirmisher around the zerg, Killing weak or wounded enemies, or attacking other thieves.

In a small team it has the same role, and it can be very efficient assisting another player.

I have found something unusual to play, not so easy to play (a positioning game), and very fun for me.

It’s still pretty bad, part of the reason isn’t p/p and its issues but because projectile blocks and reflects are too common in the game.
