Q:

Hello everybody,

This is supposed to be a survey. Please do not write any comments that might turn into discussions.

In this survey, please tell us:

1) your current weapon set (Format: D/D, P/D, S/D …)
2) your trait distribution (Format: 0/30/30710/0 …)
3) your preferred engagement (e.g. PvP, WvW, PvE, can be more than one)

In the same numeric order as above

At the end, I want to pool the results to reveal the most popular thief trends.

Note: If you are curious about a build a fellow thief runs, feel free to pm them. Please refrain from commenting on other builds in this poll.

A:

These are only preliminary results

I post this to encourage more poeple to contribute and participate in the survey. From the collected information, I will prepare diagrams depicting:

  • Popularity of Trait Distribution (for WvW, PvP, PvE and in general)
  • Popularity of Weapon sets (for WvW, PvP, PvE and in general)
  • Popularity of Thief engagement (WvW, PvP or PvE)
  • and many more (depending on the number of entries)

THE MORE PEOPLE PARTICIPATE IN THIS, THE MORE ACCURATE THE FINAL RESULT WILL BE

As a teaser, I attach a few diagrams to this post and update them regularly.
Note: I have only gathered around 150 data points, therefore it is not at all representive.

Eventually, I will open a new thread, publishing these results, so we can discuss
