Guild Wars 2

Greetings!

Im currently leveling a thief, going with d/p with shortbow. Is it good for wvw and pve events? I appreciate any nice builds Im struggling between necro tho, but i heard theyre not in that good shape. Thanky for the replies in advance

Well, you shouldn’t be fixated on a single weapon set for all the content. Some work better in different situations. d/p & sb are good for sPvP and WvW most of the time. But usually if you don’t want to break bar in a group with other people on a boss you’ll get a lot more utility for cleaving and dmg, evades and positioning with staff, for example in pve. Sb is most of the time useless in pve if you don’t use it for ground covering to get places faster.

If you want fun, go Staff and PP with Crit Strikes and Invigorating Precision. The funnest PvE build that I know off with a lot of flexibility. It is also a blast in WvW but good D/P thieves will have a strong advantage. Otherwise go DP and Staff in WvW and join the rest of the meta builds.

SB is the most important weapon for pve cause of the mobility.

I’m pretty sure that D/P thief will be good for WvW. They can achieve permanent stealth while inflicting respectable condition damage without revealing themselves.

For PvE, D/D outclasses it. Enemies don’t dodge the same way that players do, so you can reliably hit your cloak and dagger.
