Guild Wars 2

Is there any advantage to this weapon set? I enjoy the idea of mobility and evasion, but I’m underwhelmed when comparing it to any of the other weapon sets.

Anyone else have some insight to what might make this combo work well?

The combo just has terrible synergy. Sword’s sneak attack is the worst of the 4 weapons by a huge margin, negating the advantage of CnD, and the 3 skill does less damage than DD’s, while only having half the evade length (and a short root after the evade, to boot), without the AOE or bleed.

Thief S/D is without a doubt, collectively, the worst weapon set in the game ATM, even accounting for Ranger’s sword’s pointless autoattack leap. It’s outclassed in every way imaginable by S/P or D/D.

Ah that was more or less what I was afraid of. Here’s to hoping it gets some love in the future.

flanking strike is also broken at the moment. does not strike enemy at the back just like in the description, instead you evade sideways and end up missing 90% of the time.

I agree. I used the third skill with this combo after a long time and I ended up falling off of a cliff. I guess that says it all.
