I seen this a lot in WvW where you constantly stealth and get away from enemies and sneak attack them, what build would be best for that?

A lot of stealth builds will be using D/D for backstabs. I run a 10/30/30 because I hate running full glass cannon. If you like stealth, I suggest dipping into shadow arts for “Meld with Shadows” which increases stealth duration by one second. I run 30 in shadow arts for “Shadow’s Rejuvenation” because the healing is great especially when you couple it with Shadow Refuge! Love this build so far, I rarely die as a thief in WvW unless I’m unaware and get ganged up on.

What types of weapons do you use?
Like condition damage, power, toughness…etc?

Like Scizzor said- for WvW, I’ve found a massive amount of enjoyment in this build-

http://www.intothemists.com/calc/index.php?build=Vc33V-FGSwkZ0J5VOFd0;9;49TT;02;025B45A;4LNk0;2G3G3G3G35BFT

10 Deadly Arts for Mug
30 Critical Strikes for the crux of your burst damage
30 Shadow Arts for massively powerful Stealth (effectively turning Stealth into a stable and reliable defensive mechanic).

D/D + SB is a must for this build, however you can switch out D/D for Sword/Dagger if you find yourself enjoying the Daze-locking potential of Tactical Strike.

I love “Cloaked in Shadow”. 240 Radius AoE Blind when I stealth? I’ll take that, thank you.

Edit: I use full Berserker/Ruby gear. Power/Precision/Critical Damage

You do not actually have to spec for this in WvW, just include any stealth skill. Once you stealth you’ll be invisible for a good 1-2 minutes due to culling.

This happens to people who are under-leveled, under-geared or burst speced and tends to pwn nubs.
