Guild Wars 2

my main is thief both playing s/d acro and d/p trickery build in spvp & tpvp so i think anet just wants us to play P/D or P/P Unload Pew Pew Pew! i tried this same build before —-> http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fZAQRAqY4KlsMt7JmOh/pJgJEu65d6zt1ORjAA-TpgPgAA7PYWGAA

ye its pretty effective but panic strike’s CD is too long 30secs… well i think the reduced cooldown of this is really good for this celestial or condi trinks!

No SB, so where’s the mobility? I mean, in a close environment of max 5 players, I can’t see how this build would justify the presence of such a thief instead of other classes/builds when we drop the mobility down.

Edit: the 7 slot is still empty; reserved for SoS maybe?

Been playing P/D forever; making people whine since then.

Yes P/D is the final resort.

I will not play it unless all other options are gone. Holding a pistol in main, and dagger in offhand, will instantly hurt your reputation as a thief.

For tpvp, I don’t think the build OP posted will be anywhere near optimal post patch. S/d and d/p will still be the main meta. The upcoming changes will encourage more people to try out the less popular p/d and p/p, and they may become more frequent in low and mid tier pvp, but I believe only one or two players will be able to be successful with those weapon sets at high tier.

the P/D weapons set is idd viable BUT sine this game only has conquest mode, this means you will be spending time in stealth and shadowsteping out of the capping circles, giving advantage to you enemies…

so basically, to play sPvP, no matter how hard they nerf S/D and D/P we have no other choice but to play them… we might as well have a “disabled” logo stamped on our backs too…

put SB then for as long as your main is P/D

Pd has always been and still is in most circumstance a bad set for group play. Op that build you posted is still way worse than sd and bp meta builds even after the nerfs.

I don’t think you understand…the playstyle of condi on a thief has no appeal to me. Even if it did as well as the direct damage builds, I’d still rather play a necro or engi than a condi thief.

Also, I predict S/D to still be meta, even after this patch. A nerf to air/fire sigils is the only thing that could prevent this.

remove the necro class from tPvP and we can talk about P/D becoming meta in tPvP

I’ve been playing P/D condi for a while. I actually like the game play but, full condi just doesn’t feel like the most efficient use of the weapon set. So I’ve been considering trying some Celestial already.
