Quick Question
That said, they are fine in both areas. You have to spec them for what you want (ie in WvW zerg, you want to run short bow or p/p with ricochet trait to get the aoe and bags.
Race only really matters for looks. You are not using any racial abilities as a thief. Thief.. thief.. say it with me.. thief.
When I talk about race, I mean lorewise
Also what about dungeons?
Fools, Norn teef is best teef.
As for dungeons, they are fine. I think the highest dps for them( someone please correct me if i’m wrong) atm is d/d 6/6/0/0/2, but it has a highish skill cap. I personally like running s/p 2/6/0/0/6. Skill 5 help with trash slight of hand, thrill of the crime, and mug = multiple party wide buffs and a nice little heal when you need it.
The world could use more S/x Thief
FIST FLURRY! ORA!!
66002 is idd the current meta build
S/P for trash
D/D for bosses
Thief has highest single target dmg, brings great support for skips(stealth), trash(blinds) and can spam pistol 4 to remove defiance for Ele’s Ice Bow 5
So yeah, thief is great in Dungeons, but in pug’s you’ll probably rip out your hair when they screw up the defiance or YOLO w/o stealth.
