Guild Wars 2

Hello all, I play mostly PvP and as many of you know, skyhammer is the map less liked by the community, even if ANet will not remove it from SoloQ.

So as I have been playing SoloQ more often lately and this map seems to appear 70% of the times, I wondered what the troll build is for thief for that map.

I know that troll thief build will not be as troll as engineer or hammer guardian or terror necro, but I main a thief and I would like to be able to adapt to this map when it comes up.

The only thing I know about the thief troll skyhammer build is that Scorpion Wire is required, even if it is a skill which is known to be very buggy and does not work properly many of the times.

I would like to know what weapons, traits, slot skills and runes (so a complete build) are good to be used with this Scorpion Wire.

And if possible any tip on how to proceed with the build. Like combos or how to pull som1 into one of the many crystal holes of the map.

Videos will also be appreciated.

Thank you all!

You don’t really need a “build”.

I play Venomshare Condi Thief and when Skyhammer crops up, I just swap out Skale Venom for Scorpion Wire.

Creating a build only for the purpose of pulling enemies through holes isn’t going to contribute much to your team.

I have noticed if you try to pull someone when the floor has disappeared it often glitches and just knocks them down. If you learn the rough time it takes for the floor to disappear and pull them just before, it tends to work. If you want to seal the deal, then pop Basilisk Venom beforehand for the stun.

You would want a really defensive build to be able to evade a lot of stuff, since the meta went in a really bad direction lately, I actually feel happy when I fight people still using the old meta builds.

2/0/6/0/6 P/D is a good option.
2/0/0/6/6 S/D as well.

Daggerstorm is handy for stability and reflect, or thieves guild since they have scorpion wire as well and soaks up stuff and ofc blinding and dealing dmg.

I usually swap Shadow Refuge for Scorpion Wire.

There are many tactics to troll, one is to position yourself well and avoiding getting locked down, then stealth off the glkittenches, and fish for dodges/invuln/stability, steal stability, if your opponent is really aggressive he will fail at positioning, then stealth off the glass again and walk across it for it to break and scorpion wire.
