Hey guys.
I was thinking about starting up a thief, as it is the only class I haven’t played, and was wondering if you guys would mind explaining the gameplay of them.
Maybe suggesting a build and what not too.
I love solo PvE, not a huge fan of WvW so dont worry about that.
I liked Glass cannon build for my Greatsword ranger.
I also do not like carrots being thrown at me.
Thanks, everyone
Thief Gameplay
I recently made one myself.
For pve events farming and solo Aoe bow is best choice
for solo pve ( not aoe ) single mob killing theres no faster way then either backatb or unload from pistols.
Also most ppl who trow carrots at thiefs are totaly unskilled players who don’t know base mechanic for thief ( I was one of those till I done thief and learned how it operates ) and trust me it’s far more fun then ranger ( at least was for me )
Lvling is z breeze, easy, fast, mobs fall before you notice =]
Also i’d risk saying that thief is probably most safe character to play due to stealth. If something goes bad just use #5 dagger skill or any skill that makes you go stealth…
SB with healing signet and #2/#4 skills on SB gives u so much HP regen You barely die to larger groups… at 62 lvl im able to take 8-9 mobs at a time and not die.
Super mobility, great damage, Oh kitten button – stealth. Really looks like OP class.
But it’s far harder to play ( skill wise ) then ranger or guardian or warrior…
You need to be constantly aware of your surroundings. 1 bad move, low on initiative or cd on stealth skills and your dead.
Also some SKill challanges need you to think of tactics for them, cause not always taking them head on is good idea
Now TBH i really regret that I done My guardian first, then played some ranger, warrior, mesmer… I should go stright for Thief. Or maybe it’s good thing. Cause now I love thief even more because of how fun they are
