Guild Wars 2

hello

i’m looking for tips and tricks for taking a supply camp solo with a thief.
I also do scouting for my guild so I also would like to have build that is capable for scouting and soloing supply camps. Any suggestions are welcome.

If you are p/d condi camp is no problem with caltrops but if you are glassy its a bit more difficult compared. If its fully upgraded I call for back up when I am damage build because even if you do take them down they respawn so you could be there a while. P/D condi still doable.

I usually switch to signet of malice and dagger storm to start. Take out scouts first then guards. Thats why cals are good since you drop them on scouts and work guards over. Then back to scouts but scouts are really the only thing that make the camp semi hard to take with the blind field you can’t see and cripples

Use a heavy condition build. And shortbow or D/D, P/D is slow. Jump on firts scout with C&D+steal, when invisible drop caltrops, backstab him and than, by this time the other mobs will be next to you, activate daggerstorm. This should kill 1st scout at least. Take out the other scout, then guard, then supervisor. If supervisor has Indignation buff, better wait. In this state he deals massve dmg and takes none. His large reach KD in this state can be devastating. Watch for the new stealth aggro, it makes clatrops drop easier coz they wont move after you go invis, making placement better, but if your downed, you are dead. Before you could hit stealth down skill and they would return to their places.
If you are unsure, and want to be more careful, make a pull. Pull in the opposite side of where the supervisor stands and try to call scouts one by one, this will usually bring some of the others anyway, but without the supervisor to assist. Some camps have the supervisor placed opposite from the quartermaster and the doliaks, if you pull carefully, ull get the quartermaster and the doliaks only to follow you, without atracting the scouts and guards, making for an easy soloing. bare in mind that tis careful pulling way is slower and is more effective using a direct dmg build instead of a condition build.

As a full glass D/D+Sb build, I spend most of my time kiting down all the veterans with shortbow first. Once the Supervisor is alone then bursting him down is trivial.

The only difficulty comes when the camp is upgraded. You need to watch for the cabalists so that you don’t get chain-CC’d to death. I generally focus cabalists > scouts > guards > Supervisor.

personaly i facetank the camp , it takes me less then 1 minute to take 100 /100 camp
D/D build
i start with steal +backstab on first veteran scout , i do normal chain untill veteran guard and guild claimed comes near me . 3x Death blossom /dodge roll /hide in shadows-backstab again the scout. Then i do dagger storm and kill second scout . Guard will be at 20%-30% hp and guild claimer 50%

i recorded for you an movie how i do it . I was tiered 5 AM , and i had 0 accuracy stacks from sigil , made few mistakes but still took only 1 minute.

Hello – I have a rather different approach that I’ve been fine tuning the last few days. I still don’t have it 100% down, but figured I’d share anyway as it is an alternative to some of the strategies out there.

I do SB and S/P. I know S/P isn’t super popular anymore, but I find it very useful for camps. Scouts are your prime target, so I tend to pull them by opening with SB #4 for the poison field, and then cluster bombing a bit. I have been using Thieves Guild once I pull the Vets together, and bombing into that field. You’ll have most of the Vets dead at this point, so then move on to what’s left. I use S/P and focus on maintaining Black Powder if you are getting hit, or using Headshot to interrupt the Supervisor’s heals. I don’t spec into Shadow Arts (I probably should…) so I need to focus on dazing and blind.

I’m sure condition builds are more effective, I just like making S/P work!

Easy way:
S/P, lure the enemy around a corner (they will all, even the scouts, mob on point blank range). Use black powder and auto attack only. The first part is a bit boring (you miss a lot because of the scout’s powder) but once they died it’ll be over quickly.

(ps: I use infusion of shadow and infriltrator’s signet, not sure if it’s rly needed to keep this tactic up, but those are traits/utilities I use in general)

I got tired of playing d/d backstab so I made a p/d sb build just to solo camps.
I was surprised that this build works pretty well, I’m even taking out upgraded camps in less than a minute.

30 Shadow arts iv, vi, xi
20 Acrobatics ii, iii
20 trickery v, vii

All carrion gear, weapons armor trinkets
Sigil of energy on both weapon sets and w/e u prefer for the second sigil for the p/d set
Superior runes of adventurer
Withdraw, roll for initiative, caltrops, smoke screen, ds
For food I use orrian truffle and meat stew and tuning crystals

With this build its the same thing, but you have alot of endurance to dodge more, and i mean alot, and everytime you do, you get 2 stacks of might, ontop of might from stealthing and stealing.

I’m using all green gears too and I still see bleed ticks from 130-150 depending on how much might stacks I have so I can’t wait to see what numbers imma get with exotics

A couple of people that asked me about this rune and sigil setup was skeptical at first, but was also surprised by how it did, even though the bleed ticks fluctuated with your might stacks, they loved having pretty much borderline infinite endurance .

I know that im a bad person and stuff, but … mouse clicking utilities ? seriously ?

Hmm I do this with D/P Kind of like what Gwalchgwn does but i do stealth at the end of BP for back stabs so things go quicker. Since I lack cleave its all single target damage but because I am pulling of back stabs it actually doesn’t take long at all. Sigil of fire helps with the multiple mobs a bit and head shot to prevent healing. Long story short as long as you carry a shortbow or use blinds properly it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Edit: I think the moral of this thread is there are actually a lot of ways to get it done.

how about get in and improvise ?

i understand what you try to say : that i am unskilled. Thank you for your humble oppinion

I just go for the scouts first, their ranged attacks will hit you, so just plink at them from ranged and draw them out one by one (everything else typically resets when they can’t hit you). After they are dead, just take out the melee and then the boss. Thieves guild can help if you’re having problems, but you should be able to do it solo unless you are glassy as all hell…

I never said taht you are unskilled. Maybe u are very skilled, just having no keybinds makes you less efficient.
