Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone, i haven’t really played in a while…like 6 months. And i would like to return to my thief, can anyone catch me up to speed with the viable builds that i can have. Did they keep bashing the thief into the ground? is the class back to being fun again? anything i should know?

would very much appreciate some help with a build, so i can get back at it again preparing for Season 3

A bit’s changed in the last 6 months, main thing for thief being that it’s not horrible any more – with the buffs to auto attacks, Basilisk Venom, Bountiful Theft and Lead Attacks and the nerfing of almost everything else, thief has its place in PvP again.
Dagger/pistol remains the most popular set, but staff is also rather good.
Here’s the build I use:

This is what you’ll probably see a lot of thieves running – it has high mobility and spike damage, good CC and can break through almost anything if you engage as a +1.
Thief still fits into the role of a mobile roamer – your job is to run around the map, decapping and earning caps for your team where you can, and +1ing any team fights that are going on.
