I made this build for a thief and was wondering what the community thought and advice that could be used to make it better. The idea is keep at range using pistols for single targets and short bow for groups. So advice suggestions?

Any advice on build will be welcomed, or have I found the perfect build?

Would you go Condition or Crit focused? Is this for Dungeons, sPvP or WvW?

IMO if you are going 20 into acrobatics I’d consider Assassin’s Reward. It is the bees knees.

Also what do you think of my PvE build? =)

Hmm interesting. The shortbow with poisons will make for good condition damage.

I’ve been experimenting with PP/SD for the past few days. 0/30/20/20/0 Lots of survivability and packs a good punch. Gives you some good ranged and allows you some up close damage also. Can burst most things down with the pistols and switch to S/D in group fights for CnD use.

Made a couple changes. Went with 20/30/0/20/0 for higher damage.

15/30/0/25/0 has both higher damage and more durability than 20/30/0/20/0. The Deadly Arts Master tier major traits are all pretty bad, while the 25 pointers in both Deadly Arts and Acrobatics are excellent. It’s more or less a strictly better trait lay-out.

I would think for PvE since it’s all ranged you could get away with full Rampager’s gear. That way poison and cluster bomb pbaoe as well as Vital/Sneak attack all do some dmg.

So something like this?

Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

You need Executioner as your 30 point Critstrikes talent. Otherwise it’s fine. One of the nice things about the spec is being able to grab either the initiative regen or health on initiative use in Acrobatics, both of which are situationally useful.
