I’m just curious if anyone has tried anything drastically different from the norm so far this BWE.

I have a new sPvP build I’m trying and I look forward to sharing it after a little more testing tonight. It’s a little gimmicky but a lot of fun.

Hint: the primary weapon set is P/P and there’s no crit-hit in the build.

What are you guys trying?

Nothing. DD was kinda weak, has so many flaws and still damage didn’t improve. Also the DD class mechanic is bad, traits are generally lackluster and then there are the 3 grandmaster traits (which should be baseline). Anet confirmed that there will be only small changes and some polishment.

I’ve got to get over my disappointment and then probably return to SA or play Chronomancer.

I’ve tried everything but condition builds since I don’t like conditions.
Every build was fun to play and I sid very well but the other specs realy feels so much imbalanced and I’m scared to think once players will discover their full potential.

Thief might not be as strong as last year
but they’re a lot stronger
than they will be next year!

d/d dd (condi) seems to work, but who knows

staff dd is actually pretty good, but a lot of thief mains are so dumb and don’t know how to play anything that doesn’t spam stealth and hit and run so they won’t understand things like p/p…

you’ll have to try things out on your own

D/D Elementalist takes no skill but is good at everything in the game.
Mesmer is unfun to play against and does everything better than thieves.
Hoping those two get gutted with nerfs

Again while I had intended to try other professions new specs I have spent all time on thief.

I have tried d/d with shortbow condition build using SOM shamans build. This works very well and if you in shortbow you can get a lot of poison stacks on just using the poison field and the whirl off the dodge OR the DB.

I have tried a p/p build using dash. P/P is much more surviveable with dash. If we get a fix on the number 2 skill we might see a lot more p/p.

I am going to try s/d next with dd/acro trickery with only witdraw as my condition cleanse.
