Guild Wars 2

Hey guys
Was tinkering with builds the past few days and this one I instantly fell in love with.

Insane might stacking through dodges through power of inertia and orrian truffle and meat stew for 2 stacks each dodge. The plus 10% from exposed weakness on top of this adds even more to the dps.

This also revolves heavily around your steal. everything in trickery and deadly arts contribute to your steal, and every time you steal you get to fully recharge a utility – 2 of which fall into the same category.

Ive found it lacks in condition removal aside from the shadow stepping and lyssa runes, but kiting and knowing when to back off and reset is all about being a thief.

Pistol/dagger can also be traded out for a shortbow

I feel pretty confident in this build – im sure there are other thieves out there that use this but Ive yet to see a build like this on the forums – give it a shot, see how it goes!

[Edit] Previous link left out a lyssa rune :P

I wouldn’t really say this is insane might stacking.

You can do better using Hidden Assassin (2 stacks every stealth for 17~ sec)
Combined with Orrian Truffle if you wish.

Superior runes of the Noble are also excellent for Condition builds.
+40% might duration and you gain 3 stacks of might every time you use heal skill (10 sec CD) which works wonders with Withdraw.

Something like this
So much might stacking it’s great.

Thank you so much for your input!

I feel that the build you provided definitely focuses alot more on the p/d side of the weaponset ( 1971 attack/ 1730 cd) than what I originally provided, which focuses on the sustained hard dps from s/d (3323 attack/409 cd). The 2 might stacks every dodge adds to pressure on the enemy while taking it off of me through evades.

But I can definitely see that build giving massive ticks though. :D

My original intent was to maximize the amount of sustained dps from s/d by allowing p/d’s conditions to keep exposed weakness activated for the extra 10% damage, and I figured the 409 Cd would be enough to be considered somewhat viable. Perhaps I will balance condi dmg/attack power to make the most out of my playstyle. The noble runes just might do the trick

I really appreciate the feedback :)
