Guild Wars 2

Hey, im new to the game and have been looking at some thief gameplay on youtube, i saw one thief gameplay i really liked by a dagger/dagger thief who never seemed to die and was really good at taking out numerous players whilst stealthing.

I was just wondering if there’s any other thief combination which are more damaging or evasive than dagger/dagger. I’ve already tried dagger/pistol but did not like it as much and i’m not really good enough yet to keep switching my weapons and so dont use my shortbow as much. If i dont use my alternative weapon will it make me a worse thief?

Ive heard of a bleed thief, they sound cool. What do i have to do in order to become one and is their damage good?

Also, what is a stealth stomp and how do u do one and if anyone has any example builds that would be great too

ONE MORE THING, should i have my 1 ability (i think its backstab and stuff) auto-attacking or not?

Miralle,

The D/D or D/P build you speak of is probably one of the best builds for roaming in WvW and simply for being able to control the fight. I currently use this build and found it to be very effective.

For leveling, I would strongly recommend you consider a full conditions build using D/D +SB or P/P (which ever you like more). Conditions for leveling just makes it so much easier as you can bleed multiple targets and then pop into stealth as they die at your feet. Below is an excellent guide on how this works as well as information on the build itself. I hope this helps some.

Oh, and the stealth stomp is basically when you use any of your stealth skills than then stop the target. In this way, they cannot interrupt you.

Thank you! I always die whilst leveling and it get really annoying, since its my first time leveling and im a noob LOL. I will use this until level 80 and then im going D/D FUK UP THE WORLD BUILD

@FinalPatriot.8034 i still don’t know whether to keep my first ability (double strike/wild strike/ lotus strike/ backstab) on auto-attack or not? will it affect anything?

That’s pretty much what I did as well. I always tried to use the “blue” quality gear that gave a bonus to conditions and then replaced it every 3 levels. That way, you can just sell it back and never really end up with an expense. At level 40, I started working the crafting skills hard and pretty much went to 70 off of crafting. Combined with some time with the WvW zergs, you can go from 40-80 rather quickly. Besides, conditions are great for tagging folks in WvW gaining you even more exp.

I almost never used my #1 ability unless it’s to finish something off when I come out of stealth. You will pretty much be doing a Death Blossom dance back and forth while dropping caltrops and adding more caltrops when you dodge. It’s really the leveling on EZ mode.
