Guild Wars 2

Hiya, thanks for taking the time to give me feedback.

I recently got the game – going on two weeks now – and I have had my thief to 80 for well over a week now, but I still am unsure on a few things.

Now, to start off, I want to say my playstyle is more glass cannon – I don’t really mind much for survivability, since chances are if I have 12k health verse 15k health(As example) and get hammered by something, either I am going to live.. or die.

Anyway, all that aside – currently I have myself 4/6 for my armor exotics, which I currently have afflicted on it. I’m unsure if this is the best choice or not, so I am looking for feedback on this. Also, for glass-cannon method, I could be doing condition damage/power/precision, correct?

I just made new exotic daggers today, even if they have vit(Giving daggers, if you’re curious). But, I slapped a corruption(I think the name is) into one, and a earth(For the bleed on crit) in the other. My offhand are double pistols, one with bloodlust, the other.. I forget. I think a lower tiered earth. Anyway – I am curious what runes I should slap into weapons! I assume one set with bloodlust the other corruption, to stack 25 on both power and condition damage.

And the final thing I am unsure on, is traits to choose for pve. Now, some are no brainers. Taking dagger damage up when using pistols is useless, and pistol damage up with daggers on is useless, ext.

For daggers.. I mainly use…

Alterations I do depend on situations. Mainly, If I change out, I swap out Thrill of the Crime for Flanking strikes, and Furious Retaliation for Side Step(If I can stay behind/to the sides of the mob for periods of time.

For pistols, its fairly similar…

Again, I swap out a few moves on this, but far less. Only thrill of the crime for something else, where stealing is far to dangerous.

Anyway, long post aside – any input on all of this would be helpful. Mainly the sigils/runes, but maybe traits, too.

Sigil of fire the best dps sigil in game if you hit more then 1 taget in aeo. I personaly use on my duel daggers sigil of rage for fun part and sigil of fire for dps. With rare gear i hit for 8k on backstab and 9 k on sigil proc. Shortbow with sigil of fire and haste is aeo damage fest in wvsw :P

You can’t, unfortunetely, have two ‘on killing’ stacking effects at the same time. And whichever you one you have built up into a stack will remain even if you swap weapons.
