Guild Wars 2

I wanna try taking my thief into a GvG. I’ve seen other guilds using them very effectively so i think it’s worth a shot. Problem is though i’m not sure which build/gear to take because on the one hand you want to have good burst but on the other you dont wanna be rallybot either.

At the moment i’m thinking about giving D/D or S/D a try and just see what happens. Does anyone have a build/suggestions/tips they wanna share ?

i think s/p + sb

infiltrator strike in the middle of the action + black powder for aoe blind on opponents melee + shadow return if you are taking too much dmg and 1 1 1 , when you are low on health switch to sb and keep dps + poison.

or

d/d – p/p for fast single target burst with ranged possibility

It also depends on how you guys run. A bursty d/p thief would be fine for picking off backliners. You also can spam poison fields and utilize venom shares. What are you trying to accomplish for your team?

Well we usually just have a melee train with warriors and guardians and some casters like eles and necros and 1 mesmer, nothing fancy really

What i hope to accomplish is to pick off casters in their back line, nuke down low hp targets and stomp ppl who are down. That was what i had in mind but since i never done this in a gvg maybe this is not the role i should be doing.

No that is pretty standard for hammer trains. Go d/p and stay in stealth as much as you can. Go for a more dps than you normally would.

This.

Id also take the shadowstep utility for the tele downs. In your GvG setting which ever team can kill the downed ppl more effectively is often the “tie breaker”.
