Guild Wars 2

Nerf all you can! still i’ll keep trying new build cuz i love this thief profession!

Preparing for another Larcenous Strike Nerf which only allows to steal 1 boon and this build can provide Good Team Support cuz when i use steal it grants nearby allies Fury, Might, Swiftness for 10secs + 15secs vigor and up to two boons are also ripped from your target and granted to nearby allies (all 300 radius) + another 10secs Vigor when i use healing skill (Unlimited Vigor)! and damage won’t be an issue http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lead_Attacks

Critique:

1. Sigil of Leeching is heals far too little to make it worth having on both swaps, you’d be much better off with a Sigil of Fire or Energy (evades are soon to be a huge part of the new meta, imo).
2. Your 10 points into CS for Side Strikes is a waste, you’d be better off dumping the rest into DA for Quick Venoms and the extra 100 Power and higher damage output.

Other than that, solid build.

Venoms? what for? As far as i know Lyssa got ICD 50s so in the end you will get your Lyssa buff more often w/o Quick Venoms. Idk bout the Sigils since I never used them.

Other than that, I prefer S/P.

I didn’t know about the ICD, but I just tested it, and you’re right. Thanks, I had no idea.

Still, I think the spread of 10/10 is a waste of attributes that could be better spent elsewhere.

i haven’t tried other sigils but i wanna try em later. basilisk venom recharge i dnt think i need it that much… cuz 30 – 40% of the time im using shortbow

If you’re wiling to give up mug, you could go 20 into CS and get the signet recharge trait, making agility signet 24 sec cooldown and gives you back 2 init. This syncs well with the larcenous, slice, evade s/d playstyle as you need maximum endurance uptime and initiative uptime. Having perma vigor is great but it won’t keep pace with the amount of endurance you’ll use if you’re doing an on-point fight with s/d.

basicly it’s 10 0 0 30 30 with a slight variation.

Go 30 into acro and run S/D S/D the 10 into CS are worthless. The extra ini you gain from weapon swap far outperforms the little crit chance and crit damage you get from the 10 into CS. Not to mention you have so much fury uptime in this build you really dont need the extra crit chance.

@jakare: Mug is very very strong if you trait 30 into trickery

Asura >>> your build
In general, I hate nodamage thieves. It’s like an empty slot.

i wanna try that but having a shortbow with extra damage from http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lead_Attacks is really good and in team clash for me i more prefer shortbow AOE poison AOE cluster bomb.

I’ve been attempting to craft a similar build and I honestly see now why you chose 10/10, it’s really hard to justify giving up Mug, but the extra 10-20 points are very hard to place.

i tried 20 DA too i really didn’t like it… and fire,air, leeching sigil but fire sigil works for me almost all scenario… and when theyre harassing me and my shadow step is on cooldown i just using my 3rd skill shortbow +withdraw dodging away to escape they can’t even get me lol… only way that’s killing me is fear condi necros! and spike D/D thieves when im unaware they just gonna basilisk mug backstab me

I experimented with S/D + SB and 30/0/0/20/20 and a Soldiers amulet with Zerker jewel or a full Zerker amulet and absolutely loved it, but then I learned about the ICD on Lyssa runes above and realised that my QV were really a waste of a utility slot if I wanted to use BV often. If you don’t use it more than once a minute, I think it’s viable, you hit like a truck and still have great crit chance with a Zerker amulet + Signet of Agility.

I also experimented with 30 CS instead and the Signet traits sync well with Infil + Agility signets, but I really missed Mug. I’ve tried dropping Executioner for Mug, but then I feel like I’m wasting points.
