Guild Wars 2

I have been playing thief for 2 years now and is my main, i almost never play alts. I am getting really tired and frustrated with the builds i make as they dont work against anyone in WvW or in PvE. PvP i can nail it head on but only with a specific d/p build. i need some major tips or builds that can help me master the art of the thief. I also would like tips on how to look like a god as a thief. I am also having trouble dyeing my character . I go black and white and look like a dark theif, but see all of these super cool thieves in light colors that i cant pull off with t3 human. I got my commander tag and want to just own it but my look is not supporting me. Im building incinorator but i dont have spark so its a bummer but thats another forum story. I am looking for all help. I am wanting to be a thief with high damage in and out of stealth with evade stability or tankyness to it. Sorry its so long im just down in the dumps for the momment………

Anything else?

Maybe a rocket launcher? Or a nuke? Or both?

High damage, tankyness and cool looks. He wants to be Iron Man.

thief on WvW is good, if you stick to 1v1 roaming (which i find boring). otherwise, yeah, no, nothing can be done.

as for looks, well… not to brag, but i think i’m pretty good at making thief looks :P so these are most of the looks i’ve been through the past year or so (top one is my main look, but i haven’t used it in a while because it’s on a condi set), see if any of them inspire you.

^lol …2 years…. www problems….please tell me troll….what happened to SA….did they nerf hidden killer and valkyrie…..look is personal…

WvW 2 6 6 0 0,0 6 6 2 0 or even 6 6 2 0 0(not with d/d) beserker gear of course.

is this a real thread

Thank you for a serious thread answer unlike the rest, this is a real thread and 2 years yes ive been playing thief but i cant find a good wvw build, and my looks arent going well as i favor t3 human cultural to often, anymore answers would rock, this reply was helpful and those styles did help me

honestly any thief meta builds should work on WvW, since the thief role on PvP is pretty similar to WvW roaming. i personally enjoy tagging along a large group (led by a friend) with a D/P burst build, killing off the enemy’s squishy targets. it’s not effective by any means (not when compared to the GWEN meta), and i have to be extra careful as any sneeze from the enemy zerg will get me down, but i enjoy it.

another favorite of WvW is P/D with dire armor, it’s less zerg-friendly but it’s far tankier for 1v1s. just keep in mind you’ll sacrifice a lot of mobility for it. D/D burst can also work pretty well in WvW, since you don’t need to actually hit your target with CnD, just anything around you (mobs, structures, other players that aren’t focusing on you).

just always bring that shortbow on the side. infiltrator arrow is key to escaping when things get ugly, plus skills 1, 2 and 4 are your only ranged AoEs for when you get in a fight with a zerg from a wall.

this subforum is full of threads about builds you can use for different situations, but you can also check intothemists.com for thief WvW builds.

Just some of my Thief looks, hope it helps inspire you.

I also would like tips on how to look like a god as a thief.

Try rolling a norn with white hair and a long white beard. Then, find a set of armor that looks like a flowing robe and dye it white.

Well, that’s if you want the Euro-centric look.

There are better daggers than incin. But after farming god knows how long and trying very hard to get it, I feel inclined to use it.

Just make a giant norn in all celestial dye showing as much skin as you can, half the Zerg would follow you just to adjust their camera angles… >.>
