Guild Wars 2

Hey all,

So I’ve just come back from a long break from GW2 and I decided to start a new Thief. I like D/D so I’m trying to make that my go-to build. I figure that the only way to build a D/D Thief is to focus on damage right? So is full glass cannon still seen as the way to go, or is a more balanced build a better idea? I play a little bit of everything, PvP, WvW, PvE, and I know the builds vary based on the game type, but I’m just asking in general.

As a serious build I’d go with 2/6/6/0/0 on d/d then if you just want to screw around and have fun go 5/6/0/0/3. Mostly it’s up to you but when I do d/d that’s what I’m using. (oh and tip: shadow protector works on you too so going with SE, SP, and SR as your shadow arts traits will make you super hard to kill)

This https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/Video-D-D-20606-is-better-than-26600/first post has some valid points for taking 2/0/6/0/6 over 2/6/6/0/0, but I prefer 2/6/6/0/0 personally because that extra crit chance and ferocity + executioner is too hard for me to give up.

Maybe mug?
Executioner is trait XI line 1.

Not quite sure what you’re saying here? .-.
also Executioner is in The critical strikes line.

You said you use 26600 as a build and can’t live without executioner which you can’t have, that’s why I wondered.

I can have it because executioner comes from 6 points in crit strikes. maybe you’re confusing it with a different trait.

Trait XI line 1 is Panic Strike, not Executioner.

15charrrrr…..

Right, it’s line 2 – and no, Allandrir, I don’t cry ;)

Subotai: He is Conan, Cimmerian, he won’t cry, so I cry for him.

Conan: Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.
