Guild Wars 2

I red a lot about P/V/T gear for thieves in WvW…is it worth spending Karma and Badges on that type of gear or are you all holding on to them hoping for something better to come along?

I was able to put an exotic set together from TP that gives very decent attack and defense to do damage and hold my own…

What’s your take on it?

I like it as an even tradeoff for the Critical Damage in Valkyrie sets. I don’t think I would buy a full set though. I do find it a major pain that you cannot get PVT leggings for karma.

get it from AC

I would be interested to see whether full P/V/T gear and trinkets would actually work with Thief. I’m currently using a mix of pvt, ppt and berserker gear for sword/dagger which is a solid direct damage with decent survival. Not as bursty as full zerk and not as elusive as full carrion, but the mix of toughness, vitality and stealth make me extremely hardy with high consistent damage without the total reliance on crit and crit damage or health and condition damage.

I don’t get a lot of time to play and I only play w3, so I always have a budget build. My sword/dagger thief has p/v/t armor with berzerker trinkets. I tried a mix of stuff, looted and temple, and I tried heavy p/v/t, you feel it when someone gets away from you with a sliver of life and you know you should have finished them off. Likewise you also feel it when you could have got away but one last dot tick took you down.

I just recently switched to zerker sword with dagger, with p/v/t armor and zerker trinkets, and I feel that I still have enough t/v to get in the mix but that extra precision and crit damage is apparent.
