Guild Wars 2

Enjoy!

Nice video. You may want to try out blinding powder, it really helps if you are using 30 points in shadow arts. Moreover, since your trget are often crippled, you won’t need the +25% speed signet.

Bad link

@Troponin,copy the link and paste it manually .As far as the build ,try to change Thieves Guild with Dagger Storm.It does applies bleeds,have shorter CD and can save you against ranged.

Nice video, I like how you incorporated the SB as offensive with poisons and bleeds.
Agree with the posts above. Switch out movement signet for blinding powder prior to engagement, the extra stealth/blind is great especially if stunned. I also prefer dagger storm for bleed and reflection…it also counters other thieves using thieves guild and shadow refuge.

Nice playing and good use of skills on both weapon sets. Have you tried using shadowstep instead of signet of shadows? You already are getting a small speed boost on evades and you are traited fleet shadow, so I imagine your speed is kept up pretty good throughout an encounter alone with these 2. I noticed towards the end of your video you had to eat quite a bit of damage from the warrior, which of course could have been avoided with that extra utility.

So like i got few messages in my inbox about sigils and runes i using, superior sigil of geomancy with sigil of corruption on my daggers with sigil of geomancy on SB, 2 krait runes+4 nightmare runes on armor

One of the few thief videos I enjoyed watching. You obviously know what you’re doing, but I imagine you having problems with burst thieves? I myself play a 10 30 30 balanced build and I don’t really have problems with condition thieves, but then again most thief players are… meh. No offense I just wonder how you’d deal with backstab thieves without using blinding powder as dodging the combo isn’t always possible?

Anyway I’ll probably try ur Deathblossom condi build somewhere in the near future, looks fun. Already played a p/d condition build, was too cheesy, boring and easy going.

he has blinding powder on util bar 12 min mark. I dont understand this I only watch part of the video but I like or don’t like it or I have a suggestion lol. No offense but at least watch the whole thing or skip to different engagements.

It’s good to see condition builds other than P/D. It’s amazing how many people go into WvW without condition removal, but good job covering your bleeds.

Cracking Build and Style. I have been condition/bleed thief since beginning, and this build/style were the missing parts of my puzzle. Thank you for sharing

And some still say Stealth is not a problem hehe

Stealth isn’t.

Culling is a different story.

Learn the difference.

You actually make me wanna play DD Condi again. I played that at the very start and switched over to other builds but I forgot how tanky this can be.

What do you think about using apothecary stats instead of carrion?

toughness/healing/condition should fit the build perfectly

what an awesome video!

Stealth is most definitely part of the problem, without the on demand stealth stomps this would not be possible. Don’t try to compare it to stability either.

You’re right, stability is 100x better.

LOL when stability can be used on demand with little to no cooldown we will talk. Also real hard to focus someone you can’t see.

Do you know what “on demand” means? If you do, then you realize what an illogical argument you posed here.

Sorry to be blunt, but the only players who find thief “OP”, are the bad ones. I have no problem dealing with thieves, unless they’re abusing culling. So, stealth is NOT the problem, CULLING is.

Do you know what little to no cooldown means? I never said I had a problem beating a thief so I’m not sure what you are on about so gear down bud. Also every 3 sec is pretty much on demand.

Silk.2813:

So, going back to your other argument, a thief downs a player every 3 seconds, and because they can stealth, they’re killing countless enemies every 3 seconds. Gotcha!

PS: If you have no problem “beating a thief”, then you should direct yourself out of this conversation. All you’re doing is saying thieves are annoying, and therefore should be nerfed. Which is illogical. The class is already the worst class in the game. It does NOT need any more unnecessary nerfs.

I also have no idea why you are talking to me about culling it has nothing to do with stealth stomps and stability.

No i am saying that most if not all of the group fights in this video would have turned out differently if he was not able to stealth stomp all the time.

That’s why!

The entire video would have turned out differently if his opponents ran around with condition removal, and if the D/D eles knew what they were doing.

Also, you seem to forget that editing works wonders when making a video. People don’t generally showcase their failures in videos.

…and for the record, his gameplay wasn’t exactly perfect, nor the best. From skimming through the video, I noticed that every single time he stealthed, he opened with DB…which is completely illogical, as a free BS would have only added to his damage with no downside.

Every class has condition removal it is there fault if they don’t take it, but only one class has the ability to get pretty much free stomps all the time.

Silk.2813:

False!

Certain interrupt skills can still hit a thief in stealth. No one should get stealth stomped in a proper group vs thief scenario because people who aren’t downed can easily interrupt a stealthed thief trying to stomp.

If you don’t want to get stealth stomped, you should stop getting downed to the worst class in the game when they’re not abusing culling.

Have you ever heard of something called shroud stomp? I’m guessing no.

Yes I know about necros, a grandmasterr trait is a little different then an ability that all thiefs have.

Anyways it is late i’m going to bed. Just for the future there is no need to be so condescending it doesn’t help get your point across and just makes you seem immature.

It only seemed natural that you didn’t know about it considering you claimed no one has “on demand” with “little to no cooldown” stability.

Not every class has an aoe knock-back or interrupt they can use without targeting an enemy and those that do are on a much longer cooldown then stealth. We obviously disagree and arguing about is not going to change anything, so have a good one man.

my thief is at lvl 10 and i can’t wait to make great videos like these!

Do you enjoy restating what I’ve already said as an argument…or can you simply not understand the contents of comments others make?

^That, was ignoring the fact that you completely avoided my last comment, just to restate what I’ve already said.

You know what, I’m gonna stop…because the more you type, the worse you come off as a player. It’s like you’re completely unable to deal with thieves (contradictory to what you claim) just because they stealth on you to stomp you.
