Guild Wars 2

Just a short montage with my thief! I’ll make some better ones eventually, I had alot of fun making this

like that you’re not using SR. Share build?

From what i have observed, he is using Deadly Arts, Critical Strikes and Trickery.

Deadly Arts: Mug (Target gets a white hit upon steal every time), Panic Strike (watch guardian fight at 4:16), and Executioner (most likely)
Critical Strikes: Signets of Power (he gains might on signet usage), Practiced Tolerance (most likely), and No Quarter (fury refreshes on critical hits)
Trickery: Haste (watch Thief fight at 0:38), Trickster (Withdraw has 15 sec CD), and Sleight of Hand (watch Thief fight at 0:38)
Marauder amulet (look at all those preciousssssss life points) and Runes of the Pack (watch Guardian fight at 1:00)
Fire sigil (watch Thief fight at 0:42). I cannot make out the second sigil. I´d choose Air, but i did not see a single Air proc, So it is either a sigil with stat boost or something that proccs on weapon swap (Energy comes to mind)

TL;DR (u= up, m = mid, d = down)

DA: m, m, d
CS: m, m, u
Trick: m, m, m
Marauder, Pack rune, Fire sigil, ? sigil

Great job pulling all that from the video, it’s a pretty standard build other than Signets of Power (I don’t think many people use it atm). I like using it because I pop my signets pretty often, since Signet of Agility is kind of a savings grace for the loss of Felines Grace (haha). On S/D I’m using Sigil of Fire and Sigil of Generosity for some extra condi clearing, and on SB I’m using Sigil of Energy and Sigil of Hydromancy for better escape tactics if things go bad. But yeah, you got everything right!

Here’s the official build link for anyone who wants it:

Standard? At least i never played S/D this way. I´m in dire need of new ideas… D/P was the superior set for Thieves for a long time now and yet S/D gets the nerfbat again. This is so disheartening. I don´t want to play cheap stealth hide and seek -.-

Yeah, play around with the new traits until you find something comfortable for you. For example, I recently tried using soldiers amulet with a S/D build to feel a bit more tanky, but I also made sure I had 100% fury uptime so I could still crit. It actually made for a really nice kinda RNG heavy build. A lot of fun, kinda felt like gambling on every fight, hoping for that random 6k crit lol, and if the fight went sour, I was tanky enough to escape and reset

Very cool. You inspired me to get back on my SD Thief ! The damage is kinda crazy and awesome!

Its more or less the same build i use. sword damage is so strong now its whats carrying this build imho…. I also think Improv and SR over second signet is better^^

Interestingly enough it works just as well with d/p with the obvious diffrent playstyle..
