The above is my current Thief build that I use in WvW, I am a roamer since us Thiefs offer very little when rolling in a Zerg besides random Stealths and Stealth Rezzes. So I would like to know what improvements could be made, and any constructive advice please.

The only concerns I have about my current setup is my Damage, Initiative Use, and Lack of a proper Speed Increase, beyond that I like it.

Firstly I would recommend you create/tweak your build with this website: http://gw2buildcraft.com/

It has everything that you can use in WvW, and shows your damage reduction percentage, effective power, health, etc.

Seeing as you’re D/P and want to roam, I’d suggest a typical 0/20/30/20/0 build. I, III, or VI in Critical Strikes; IV, V, XI in Shadow Arts; VI, XI in Acrobatics. Also you may want to consider a different offhand weapon rather than short bow if you’re solo roaming.

Is that any better?

Also, I have no idea what my secondary setup should be instead of the SB?

Thanks!

Cool, that’s much more detailed. First thing I noticed was that your effective power was rather low for a Thief. I’d suggest something other than Divinity Runes, but those are still pretty solid. Because you can permanently stack stealth with that build, Scholar isn’t a bad choice since it won’t be too difficult to regenerate health back up to above 90%, not to mention a blind field, shot, and teleport with blind. The next highest DPS set would be 5 Scholar + 1 Ruby Orb. 6/6 Ruby Orbs come next and are not a bad choice at all.

It’s also decent to use a precision rune set such as Eagle (or 5 Ranger + something else) , Lyssa, Thief, or others if you’d rather have more consistent critical hits.

You really ought to change that food too. Other than that, and possibly using different runes, for the secondary weapon set, I’d try sword/dagger because it also has some utility. Short bow isn’t bad at all, it’s just that you’ll probably never use it in a tough fight against anyone who isn’t completely terrible.
