Guild Wars 2

I know this gonna sound a little different, and Im ready to not get any replys. Anyway, here we go:

Does anyone know a supportive thief-build(WvW)?

what do you mean in support?
boons sharing? – no
condition sharing – yes with venoms
doing dolly runs – yes
doing scouting – yes
hide a mesmer in tower/keep – yes
hard res with SR – yes
killing fast the backline – yes
being rally bot so support the other team -yes (kidding)

messiah.1908:

boons sharing? – no

:O we do have boon sharing. thrill of the crime and bountiful theft.
also there are plenty of runes that grant aoe support (albeit not very viable for thieves)

and dont forget those blinds. people underestimate the blinds!! blinding powder/smokescreen awesomeness.

sometimes when i command, i’ll swap to either 0/0/30/20/20 for venom share and boons/merciful ambush for rez and granting regen on stealth or bring the dps to the fight with a 0/30/25/15/0

shortbow and blinds go a long way in a fight, as well as shadowstepping to vantage points to spam poison cloud/blast finishers etc. you do have signet of agility that help condi removal.

and if those dont float your boat, stealth (like always).

I run 0/30/0/15/25 with bountiful theft and thrill of crime. Very good boons, although the range is ridiculously small (I think 240 and 360), so your allies basically have to be in melee range of the steal target, which usually isn’t the case if you are stealing ahead (the whole point of the skill). This build is also pretty damage focused…I use s/d as well for extra boon steal, although it is not to allies. Shortbow is also the best support weapon for thief. Choking gas (4) is a pretty long poison, and is spammable. Not to mention constant blast finishers, when used situationally of course.

Everyone be realistic, come on: the only support build we have is venom-share. To use it properly, though, you have to become a rally bot. Venomshare is a great concept, but the traits placement and the poor design of venoms make it unplayable.

venom share with full dire is not rally bot at all
just L2P issue and know you limits

check my build thread panicond

The most my thief does in zergs is blast finishers on SB, then switching to main weapons to assassinate the poor guy who got too close. That’s supportive enough, right? I’d think that being the bodyguard for the light armor classes is just more effective.

Meh, my thief’s a scout.
