Guild Wars 2

I have mained a thief since launch, and have seen a full signet thief, however, I have never seen very many, if any, who are good. And by good I don’t mean the “yeah, they are good”, I mean they are just an absolute beast that rips through things.

Mostly I’m just curious if it is worth looking into, maybe trying out?

No. Signets are mainly there for the stat boosts and endurance.They become more viable with traits but overall they suck.

You could try to do full signet thief with “signets of power” trait (5 might when you use a signet). You’d get 20 stacks of might almost instantly (signet of malice has a 1,25 sec casting time).

I used this build only in PvE, becuse 90% of time you don’t need your utilities anyway and it’s a good way to boost your DPS. I’m not sure how could this be viable in sPVP/WvW though.

The only time I’ve seen signets used for all slots was for a pure for fun build that basically involved sneaking up behind someone then two shotting them with 20 stacks of might and CnD+Backstab. That was mostly for WvW though for quickly dropping other roamers. The problem is that with all signets, you have no escapes. Once you initiate a fight you either finish it or die.
