Guild Wars 2

Hey all! So I’ve been doing fractals daily and for it, I’ve been using this build:
http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Thief_-_D/D_S/P_Shortbow

But I keep finding myself dying to quickly and not able to heal for very much. I don’t have a “oh kitten” button at all. I was wondering what I might want to change about this build if I’m finding that I’m dying all too often to be an asset instead of a liability to my team.

Thanks!

XD I tend to not go FULL glass cause anything can kill you with just a touch. Don’t copy paste everything you see out there without fully understanding the build. This build is really a YOLO build instead you don’t die once but many many many times, you get the point.

I am more of an WvW focused player, so I changed the build a little more defensive.

5/6/0/3/0 for lvl 50 frac. Everything zerker. The additional dodges are so good.

You can go to 56030 and get a lot of extra dodging which can help.

Also you can swap in Invigorating precision(6 pointer in second tree) if it’s more sustained damage that’s killing you not just the big hits.

You’re losing a good amount of damage (20% under 50% health, 5% from behind, and 200 power under revealed) but you gain an extra dodge (basically 3 dodges per bar) along with that gaining some health and might/swiftness on the dodge. And the invigorating precision with signet of malice lets you DPS your conditions away

Also don’t be afraid to use Dagger Storm instead of thieves guild, generally I don’t like the guild as they toss in defiant stacks I may not want. Dagger Storm is very nice on anything projectile based which there is plenty of in fractals.

Also those +1500 HPs can save you from a oneshot kill.
