Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone!

I’m coming back to Guild Wars 2 after a pretty long hiatus, and I’m starting a new thief (even though my old one is lvl 78) cause I wanna get used to the game again.

So, I was wondering what the current state of Thieves is right now. I remember there was a lot of discussion back then, about them being next to useless in dungeons or borderline OP in pvp due to “Heartseeker Spam”, etc.

Without further ado,

1- How’s the current viability of Thieves on PVE/WvW/sPvP?

2- Any recommended builds for each of the aforementioned aspects of the game that seem to be working better right now?

3- Any recommended builds for levelling? ( I remember levelling with D/D and a lot of spamming that AoE evade ability along with the per-hit-healing signet)

Thanks, and feel free to include any other information you deem useful in your reply!

What server are you on? I am on dragonbrand and even though I do not have the answers to your question if you are on my server I can probably help with some gear.

Welcome back!

I just got my thief to 80, was my first character and then I stopped playing it in the 70’s. Trying to figure out the class my self

Thief was also my first character, fell inlove with the class during the beta tests!

Unfortunately, I’m on Desolation, which is a EU server. Don’t think the Overflow servers are shared between EU and US, are they?

Why not just finish your level 78 thief and learn to play in dungeons and spvp?

Or did you get banned for something a while back and that’s why your really leveling again…?

I am also contemplating that to be honest, I just wanted to have a human thief for the awesome cultural ninja armor >.> (the other one is a sylvari).

Main reason being, I logged on him and was at the high level area with all the zombies and I’m finding it incredibly hard to survive there by myself, especially since stealth doesn’t seem to work the same way anymore and mobs come after me after it runs out. So I figured either he’s built wrong or I’m just not used to playing the game/class anymore, which led me to making a human thief.

Any tips?

I don’t believe they are shared, I hope you enjoy your return to the game!
