Guild Wars 2

I’m currently wearing mostly rare quality armour at the moment, and i find my self struggling to survive “sometimes”

My build is 25/30/0/15/0 – I really like it, nice damage and some survivability with the extra dodges, but would it be better if i spec the 15 into shadow arts trait line? Cloaked in shadows seems nice.

It’s just that i seem to struggle killing veteran flame legion effigy in fireheart rise. yes i do dodge, his attacks are very easy to avoid it’s just his passive burning that always gets me down. it’s so annoying as even my warrior in full zerker can take him down and end up with nearly full health!

thats the main reason im here as i struggle on mobs with fire on my thief

any help and tips is much appreciated!

are you using s/p? best weapon set for open world stuff, lacks damage of d/d but has condi removal on demand and a nice evade and black powder
edit: was this veteran effigy a group event?

yes it was, the one where you have to kill three of them.
i do use that weapon set but the burning condition comes back instantly, you dont even get 1 second of it staying off of you.

i use d/d and s/p. I can sometimes kill him in my down state if im using the withdraw healing. But i just know i shouldnt be struggling that much, if i have so much more of an easier time on my other proffs.

I love my thief in most areas of pve, i dunno if im doing something wrong though, or i just need to be fully exotic :/

just looked it up and wiki says he applies burning every 3 seconds for 3 seconds, id try to use sword 2 and jump back to avoid his burnin, should be easy if you can get his pattern down, and if all else fails try shortbow

Summoned thieves, traps, and caltrops can all deliver indirect damage. If it is just a matter of proximity you might be able to kite the enemy with pistol/dagger.
