Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone!

AikijinX here. In the picture below you will see the stats to my Bunker Thief build. It is not at all a condition evasion bunker build. I strayed away from that aspect of the build setup. I am able to gain up to 3k armor rating while still maintaining about 3.1-3.2k attack power. 69-79 crit damage, crit chance would be low, but it wouldn’t matter due to my hidden killer trait. If you would like me to post the build let me know. I have been very successful against elementalists and mesmers. I will work on some video footage soon if my computer will allow me. ^^

Post a build up here please – http://gw2buildcraft.com/

I have no idea what’s on in your screenshot.

is it celestial gear?

Its 0-30-30-10-0 with celestial rings, soldiers necklace/earrings.
0% condition duration = nothing in deadly arts.
10% boon duration = 10 in acrobatics
0% steal recharge rate = 0 in trickery
which leaves 446 in healing powers and 146 in condition damage to tell us you have 30 shadow arts and the only celestial (or condition damage/healing power) gear you have on is the 2 rings, as 146 is what they give you.

That stuff is for sure, but the fact that you have 79 crit damage with 12 from rings and 30 from traits shows you have lots of badly placed stats. If we assume you get 6% from jewels, and 5% from ascended berserker back, that leaves (30 + 12 + 3 + 3 + 5 =53, 79 – 53= 26) 26% crit amage from weapons/armor/runes.

If we assume 12 is from divinity runes or orbs, that means 14 is left over. I assume you didnt want to transmute your incinerator, so its soldiers, not having matching weapons is silly, so theyre all soldiers, so that means you have like berserker/valkyrie body, shoulders, hands, legs, shoes. Which is a poor decision and not the proper place to stack crit damage. Or you did transmute your legendary weapon, and only have berserker/valkyrie gloves and shoes, which is also a bad idea. Or lastly, youre not using divinity runes/orbs, and you have all berserker/valkyrie weapons and armor, which is just horrible.

I would like to see what you’d run with all ascended gear though.

I don’t get what you’re going for.

I guess your dps is good for your defensive stats but I can’t imagine you being hard to kill before being killed. I think you should probably just try upping your dps unless you plan to play in groups.

Also change your utilities and take a new pic without cons.

You are very knowledgeable about thief and the math behInd stats. You were close but not quite what I roll. You were right about one part. I am
0/30/30/10/0. I actually roll 0/30/30/0/10 but I want the 50% less fall damage or might on dodge when needed. I am on my phone right now. I will be glad to use the build tool to show you exactly what’s up. But yes I roll x6 runes of divinity. But to get that crit dmh I actually used butternut squash. My base is 69%. I have the 2 all stat celestial rings, along with pvt amulet, and 2 earrings. (Hence the Hp). My incinerator is pure berserker stats with super sigil of impact, while my offhand dagger has bloodlust sigil. I had no stacks on in the picture. If I wanted more attack I know exactly what to do to achieve that. Just needed to change trinkets around. I know exactly what I’m doing and why I did it. My decisions were not poor.

I solo roam. And all my decision reflect the build I created. Optimally this build would be heaven for D/P. but I didn’t choose that route. I know what it means to have good defense. I have 3503 armor rating on my Zerg surfing build, but I decided I wanted it all. I wanted to create a bunker. I will try to get up videos. I am not so easy to kill. I don’t know what thieves you have run into, but I’ve already ran some tests Against other classes. I love your suggestion and thank you for it, but this build was meant to bunker, and take on 2-3 Vs. 1

Typical Necro bunker-killer will kill you without looking at you. He will place a few big AoEs on top of himself and go make some tea or something.

I would love to see that done. When all I’d do would just be evading into the wells

Looks similar to my build I am planning for 80.

No healing power, multiple sources of stealth, moving on. A bunker infers that you can actually keep a point and maintain your team’s threshold against it. Stealth prevents the capping and holding of points, thus negating thief’s ability to bunker. (Although “bunker” thieves like myself can hold an entire team in sPvP and an entire zerg in WvW for tens of minutes). Your job as a “bunker” thief isn’t to hold a point because we can’t truely bunker. It’s a troll build, essentially seeing as you lack even condition damage to take down enemies slowly. You’re also under 3k armor which doesn’t protect you from a high burst phantasm mesmer assault or 2 backstab thieves. I haven’t played your build so I won’t tell you if it’s “good” or not, I’ll just give you my opinion above.

What kind of build are you using Viking?

What kind of build are you using Viking?

I run one of our Team Legacy theory builds using Apothecary gear and I’ll tell you: Signet of Malice is the best heal we have. Every time caltrops or our poison fields tick on someone, it heals you. The more people standing in your AoEs, the more invincible you are. Couple 1300 healing power with Signet of Malice and Dagger Storm and you’re literally invincible unless you’re only fighting 1 or sometimes 2 people. When I need to, I stealth for long periods of time, chaining CnD so that my Shadows Rejuvination kicks in and untarget my enemies to dodge though them while I create mini caltrops everywhere via the Uncatchable trait. Once my cooldowns and initiative are back I quit hiding and go back to applying as many bleeds as possible. (In a 1v5 or less it’s possible for me to conserve my initiative and stay alive. Anything more than 5 requires constant dodging and stealth). The one biggest issue my build has is a lack of a stun breaker, but more often than not I’m dodging and using LDB and they miss every time.

For me, a 9v1 isn’t a particularly hard fight and I don’t pick out my targets too liberally. The biggest issue is my lack of DPS to punish and one trying to res their team mates which makes those fights last much longer than they should. Anything bigger than a 10v1 is just a time waster. It’s unlikely (not not improbable) that I can get a kill off when they stack res an ally, so I’m stuck there trolling them until I escape or die.
