Edit: just to explain myself…i know that this is probably kind of a basic crit build..i just noticed that most pro thiefs are using vitality…wich my build is lacking…but i have alot of toughnes…and a dmg reduction of 39%..wille the vitality users have like 25% dmg reduction…i lose some dmg wich is acceptable if the reduction of dmg taken is so big…at least i hope so

Most of that is a standard-issue 0/30/30/10/0 D/D build, and it’s fine. There are a few things you may want to think about, however:

- You have no good way to consistently clear conditions, on a low vitality build (toughness does not mitigate condition damage). This is a deadly combination. You might drop Infusion of Shadow for the condition clear on stealth trait. D/D can manage initiative fairly well if you’re good about not missing Cloak and Dagger, or using it on folks with Aegis/ Block up.

- You have little access to movement speed increases. It’s hard to backstab targets who are moving 25% to 33% faster than you, which will be a substantial number of folks. You could either load up the signet or fix this with runes (Traveler or Speed will both work, and both are reasonably helpful overall for your build)

- I don’t think there are any thief builds for which Divinity runes are the best choice. If you want to maximize damage, try Scholars. If you plan to use Basilisk venom as your elite, Lyssa are good. Or use this slot to solve your movement speed problem

- Full ‘zerk gear for WvW is not for the faint of heart. There’s so much AoE and condition spam out there it can be brutal. For a build that runs Hidden Killer, you can drop a fair amount of precision and still do well. Take a look at Valkyrie for your armor. It’s a very popular choice for D/D in WvW.

- For a high crit build, you really must try Sigil of Fire on your shortbow. That + Cluster Bomb (detonated early for more cluster bombs) can make for an unholy pile of booms all at once. Grab another weapon for bloodlust stacks

Good luck with your thief!

For some reason I want to say that you don’t need 2 sigils of bloodlust… that it continues to work on weaponswap… but don’t quote me on that

Go p/d (check the main builds in the forum) … WvW I can handle/own anything, even groups due to stealth and blinds :-) Changed from d/d and never looked back !
