Guild Wars 2

For a profession that was said to be able CC well… I’m having trouble finding the CC. It seems that other professions can CC better than the thief with less effort.

I like running dagger/pistol or sword pistol with the shortbow with scorpion wire, immobalise venom and shadowstep. But really dont feel like i can cc/dodge to a point where i mitigate the damage coming in.
What am i doing wrong?
I love the thief and i love ccing

Blind. D/P is a great avoidance build. Black Powder, Heartseeker, and take up Shadow Refuge/Blinding Power, Signet of Shadows and Signet of Agility to add more Blinds and condition removal to your repertoire.
