I see a lot of builds focused on tPvP/sPvP and WvW and very few for actual PvE with the Thief, and am wondering what a decent build for Orr and/or Dungeons would be.

Is a Power or a Condition build a better choice or are they about the same? I’d prefer a balanced build of damage and survivability. As it is I’ve been running a Power heavy build that was great until 80 but it gets rolled in a dungeon and can’t handle too many mobs in Orr without dropping.

D/D, S/P

I run equipment that focuses on power, toughness and precision.

A few tricks I use is for my heal I use SoM and Assassin’s Reward, combined with Pistol Whip I can solo veteran and champion mobs on Orr (if no one else is attacking me)

Or I can jump around the battle field like a crazed money with D/D thrashing every mob OR I can find groups of enemies such as in events on Cursed Shore and AoE using DB.

Another trick if you learn how to time it right is to Dagger Storm+Hatse (with SoM), which deals immense damage in a massive AoE and keeps you healed fully (or kitten near with 15+ mobs beating on you). The trick with that last one is to make sure when it ends you’re not stuck in a spot where they can all eat you alive since you just collected all the agro.

I use this build exclusively for PvE and PvP. It is very survivable in farming mobs in Cursed Shore and it is rock solid in dungeon runs. There is a link to the updated build in the description but i figured this would give you a good starting point
