Go d/d. its best

Thief has always been D/D nothing has changed, yeh people are trying new stuff but why bother when you can just go D/D and spam 1 skill to win.

Powerbased P/d hybrid build http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHNUtnV-GsI

P/D sucks kitten

You obviously didnt look at the video then check this 5v1 vid in enemy garrison http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQIXC_VHghk

D/D can also do 1v5 more regulary too, look up yishis…

Do you have a build link for this? I’m quite interested in seeing your setup.

Technically Dagger/Pistol is currently the “go to” Thief WvW spec, combined with either a 0/30/30/10/0 or a 0/20/30/20/0 build.

It has a series of advantages over the good old Dagger/Dagger as in it offers you a chance to go toe to toe with Warriors thanks to Black Powder and you can hide in Stealth near infinitely. It also doesn’t need a target to get into Stealth so you have a much easier time against other Stealth classes.

On the down side the entire Stealth mechanic (combo field + leap) is very convoluted and prone to nuisances like accidentally leaping into certain targets and getting revealed. In general it’s probably the most unintuitive Stealth mechanic in game.

But I have no doubt it is currently superior to any Dagger/Dagger build out there, simply because of the importance of Black Powder and Headshot in the current meta. I mean even just being able to interrupt revives is worth a lot.

This is exactly why they are putting in a stealth counter. Stealth wasn’t intended to be infinite.
