Guild Wars 2

Hi guys, the title said it all,
Wich is the most difficult WvW build have you ever played on a Thief?

I’m still looking for it…

(for sPVP I think I will open a new thread since roles are very important)

I don’t think any build in GW2 is very difficult to play, especially not if you’re used to playing other MMOs.

Most classes and Thieves especially evolve around a 1 or 2 trick-pony act and are fairly simple to play. Hence I find that GW2 has a comparatively low skill-ceiling given the limited opportunities each build posses.

Instead skill evolves more around situational awareness and knowledge of other classes and doesn’t really have much to do with your build.

high evade builds can be challenging.

P/D + S/P, Trap thief.

Pistol offhand only build, I mean yeah I can do headshots with it, but it isn’t as easy as everybody believes.

What do you mean by difficult?

In terms of which build has the highest skill ceiling, my impression is it is P/D, those guys do a lot of crazy stuff and have to be on top of their game to get the most out of it, watch a video or two of good p/d thieves.

Well I mean, the most difficult and efficient…
@Dee Jay I think that GW2 works on a more dynamic system of combat than others MMO, that’s why we don’t have many spells and “useless” spells, choosing a weaponset we choose a skillset, and we have to build about it. So this is not the subject of the question.

@Ensoriki
I’ve played double P/D for a week, I saw it was extremely easy because of the ranged skills that permise you to stack 6/7/8 Bleeding without going melee (very important for a thief) Does this build make difference? Wich traps are you talking about? Does it work on condition, damage or both?
Currently I’m playing a D/D Evade DB Condition build, I think it should be one of the most difficult because I play it without stealth, but what makes this build easy is just the two skills I can do. Death Blossom, Dancing Dagger, Steal.

0/0/0/0/0 naked and pistol/nothing

i think too pistol off hand are the hardest to master

as d/p you need to be patient and w8 for the right moment to burst and save initiative points or you die
as s/p again time right the pistol whip and infiltrator strike is your evade skill with no stealth on hand
as p/p no stealth and medium burst
