And, additionally, what build should I use before the opening daredevil?

I believe that here a good attitude towards beginners.

Most people will say play what you enjoy…..

I can’t speak much on thief as I skipped thief with tomes but I use a condition daredevil with daggers.

My damage with my particular build isn’t the highest but I’ve never managed not to kill anything and I survive like crazy. I haven’t had the best of luck soloing all champions like on my druid or reaper but can still do ok. The build is loads of fun when your not near a cliff or ledge.

I also hear staff is pretty fun and does well going with the zerker type build but didn’t fit my preferred play style

I like to have Vault, Debilitating Arch, and Infiltrator’s Arrow with Executioner, Staff Master, and Bounding Dodger. If you’re mostly just doing your daily nodes though just have Unhindered Combat and Stealth. Acro/Trickery/Daredevil with Havoc and Staff Master isn’t bad if you’re just generally running around.

I chose the staff berserker build – http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vZAQNAqaWn8MBVmi9OBWOB8PhFqiau63+x3LDShSornCgDA-TRAXAAw+DAA-e
It seems to be normal survival and damage.

That’s my solo build for most of the time I spend in GW2:

Berserker gear and Scholar runes, lightning and force sigils. Slice of Candied Dragon Roll as standard food, it’s cheap and makes life more relaxed. Most things you stumble over in the old maps die after one Unload + a single shot, you don’t even have to stop running. I picked Critical Ctrikes because the extra damage is quite visible in day to day play, since you are above 90% of your health most of the time. In a team, I change the traits of Trickery to Thrill of the Crime and Bountiful Theft.

When I mostly use staff, I substitute Practiced Tolerance for Ankle Shots. I also replace Trickery with Deadly Arts, since I don’t need that much Initiative in this case. In Deadly Arts I choose Mug, Revealed Training and Executioner. Also, for roaming around in PvE I use Unhindered Combatant. I basically never get away from it to be honest, which once in a while pushes me off a platform in fractals, but I love the distance covered by it so much. Must look kinda stupid though watching me walk into kitten and die. It must be used cautiously. It allows you to solo the consoles in Uncategorized and Aetherblade Fractals T4, love it.

Elite skill can also be Dagger Storm, if you face lots of trash mobs, but I find it more important to be ready to break a defiance bar. When I expect it, I also go for Fist Flurry instead of Shadowstep. I always keep Assassin’s and Agility Signets and only trigger the latter if I need just another Dash but ran out of endurance.

Being used to this build, the other classes I play feel so slow, in movement as well as in killing things.
