Slapped this together for some friends still on the fence with purchasing GW2. They were concerned that GW2 PvP was “meh” so I tried to provide some fast-pace PvP action from my thief’s perspective.
The music does contain “kitten words” so if that offends you, feel free to mute it!
Run time is around 5mins. Nothin’ fancy with the editing… it’s raw FRAPS footage.
Other notes:
If you don’t like P/D vids this will more than likely anger you; sorry for that! I tried to use the most entertaining short clip I had available at the time. I have around 60GB of raw D/D footage that I’m thinking about editing and releasing but I find 2-3 shot killing sprees boring to watch…
Depending on who I’m fighting I will swap out Blinding Powder for Shadowstep (Mainly to counter stun builds) and Spider Venom for Caltrops (If they don’t have alot of mobility). Also, my elite changes as well… I’m really starting to use the human racial Reaper of Grenth over Thieves Guild in WvWvW; from my short testing Reaper does not break stealth/C&D when it reapplies it’s condis giving you a pretty strong 15sec slow and poison if you crowd the person you’re fighting and running Caltrop makes it pretty fun but I don’t always do this… and this clip isn’t using that setup…
I’d rather watch some skillfull tPvP gameplay than boring and repetitive P/D WvW Vids :/
Comes in the thread with WvWvW in title to share he doesn’t lke WvW vids lol.
K watched it. Anyone can do this honestly in WvW I know alot of people like wild bills videos but what makes bills videos so good is not that he is using a p/d. Its that he is using p/d and no additional stealth except for CnD.
Just my critique it wasn’t spectacular. Not discouraging just offering feedback.

I’ll just point out though that Wild Bill’s spec is fundamentally different than what I use, which is why he doesn’t use any additional stealth utilities and instead ops for venoms; it makes sense when you look at his build that he would never use additional stealths. He doesn’t need to.
My build is more for trolling larger groups and escaping. Whereas his build focuses more on actually landing kills. Killing people isn’t actually my goal in these videos, but rather making those I’m fighting look foolish because it’s absolutely hilarious AND fun for me. :P
With that said, I’m not trying to showcase any “skill” because TBH the GW2 micro-game just isn’t built for it… don’t get me wrong, GW2 PvP is fun but it just isn’t something I would say is difficult for any average gamer to master once they learn the mechanics of their profession.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback! Have a great night!
