Guild Wars 2

I’m still leveling my thief and haven’t yet gotten to play one at 80 but…
I love playing ranged which is why I chose these weapons. Though I do like P/D it sounds like it’s not for PvE? If I can effectively use it it PvE I’d like to.
I don’t like using Steal with these weapons [title] though because it puts me in melee range and just feels weird so a workaround or solution to that if it’s a problem would be awesome.

First advice would be: dont play ranged in PvE but hey do what you want.

Ah and dont forget to press steal without a target to get fury from it.
