Q:
I’m leveling my thief in WVW, at level 26 now.. I was wondering if someone could suggest a build specific to leveling + wvw. All I see are leveling builds for sPVP, PVE or WVW builds that are only for level 80 so suggestions would be awesome!
I decided to use a short bow a lot for aoe + survivability so that’s something to keep in mind with the build.
Thanks!!

Leveling a thief in WvW isn’t exactly easy. We are very squishy and we doesn’t really shine before lvl 60. Roaming with bigger groups or the zerg may be the key, and just spam AoE from the short bow to tag as many targets as possible.
If you’re planning to run solo, then it will be hard, but it is doable. You can solo supply camps (not upgraded) and sentries pretty easy from low levels, but for that you’ll need dagger storm, shadow refuge, smoke screen and signet of malice. Those abilities can lay waste to a supply camp in seconds
If you plan on zerging then short bow is the perfect weapon! Try to go for 15 points in deadly arts asap and then dig deep in critical strikes. A good build for zerging could be 25/30/0/0/15. Some boons, lots of initiative and a ton of damage. You should use cluster bomb on Ann combo fields, always ^^

I only run in zergs, it’s actually extremely fast verse PVE so far. I can easily level in about 40 minutes without any boosts.
I’ll try your suggestion out.
Thanks for the advice!!
