Q:
Thief build
A:
As long as you have adequate attack damage from food, might sources, and/or equipment, you should be fine on damage. I’d say what’s more concerning is how much much survivability you’ll get from your stealth.
It feels like you’ve invested more into damage then survival, and death can be quite a hindrance to one’s damage-output.
I don’t specialize into stealth much myself, so I can only recommend one thing:
Do you know of the perma-stealth build?
It involves using a Dagger/Pistol combo. By using offhand-Pistol’s Black Powder, and jumping in and out repeatedly with Heartseeker, you can stack up stealth duration through the combo field bonus.
Here’s a vid off a quick YT search – I believe this build goes 0/20/30/20/0
“Bleeding, Poison, Confusion, Torment, they all look delightful on you.”

Going just by the numbers…
I’d say it’s one of those glass-cannon WvW builds. Lots of crit. Lots of stealth. Some utility on the side.
I’d need more details to tell you more. Like which major-traits did you pick (the ones with the Roman numerals)

What do you guys think about this trait build: 0/30/25/0/15?
I need more information on the build to give an answer. What traits, sigils, runes, utilities, weapons, and amulet? Is this for PvE or PvP?

Yes, I am definitely going for the stealth and crits.
Crit Strikes 30 with Side strike, Combo Crit chance, and Hidden killer.
Shadow Arts 25 with Infusion of Shadow and Patience
Finally, Trickery with 15 points with Flanking strikes.
My question is I am good to go on the crits and stealth, however, I feel like I wont have enough damage to actually kill some1.
Any suggestions on what sigils, runes, utilities, weps, amulet, for this type of build? or if this build is even good?
Too many points there, maybe 0/10/30/30/0?

Whoops. Good catch.
That’s suppose to be 0/20/30/20/0.
It focuses on replenishing initiative for the HS+BP combo, and taking full advantage of the stealth that results from it.

I did not think I was investing alot on damage..critical hits does not necessary mean alot of damage if I dont have the attack power.
I feel like with this build I invested more on stealth, ARMOR, and crits.
You did answer my question by saying “as long as you have the right equipment, jewelries, ect…”
