Guild Wars 2

hi guys. I m back after a lot of time. I m actually farming lege, still, i m roaming a lot in wvw and trying to focus onto pvp.
I m roaming with D/D, always my favourite set up ( classic 0/6/6/2) but in pvp i had some problems. Reading through the web i saw this build ain t so vaiable at high level ( wich i m not), but d/p is. So i decided to learn to play it. First of all i run 0/6/2/0/6 or 2/6/0/0/6 or 2 in acro.. i m looking to improve my skillz to start the soloQ. I m aiming for good streamers ( if exist), any build tips or playstyle.. could u help me??
i red also, a lot of people crying bout new changes.. i m an optimistic, so, plz, don t start say “change class” XD
regards

Welcome back :P

D/D is more of a WvW build, you really shouldn’t use it in pvp. Every other thief can take it down and you have a lot harder time in teamfights too.

D/P is perfectly fine, there are 2 main versions of that build currently, you can find both here.

Other viable thief builds are S/D and S/P.

And in general you can catch up with buildes you can use metabattle.

ehy, first of all, thank u very much!
well, i thought exactly the same thing.. d/d can t be a competitive build if u aren t a high skill player.. indeed i use s/d. but i have played d/d a lot last year in wvw, and i have to be comfortable with d/p.. it s kinda different. i m looking for some streamer.
btw, when u use ur combo to stealth up, when u hit with hs, do u become revealed?? cause some times i use my p5+hs and proc the revealed debuff

The combo works like this: you hit your opponent with HS, then you gain Stealth because you used HS in the combo field, and then you can backstab the other guy and get revealed. The HS part should not reveal.

Edit: you can also find top streamers associated with a build in every build’s page on metabattle. For D/P you can watch Caed and Levin.

hey, ty again.. i m wathing them and i m watching coloxus.. his playstyle is kinda amazing, i m enjoing a lot with his videos.. i m playing d/p right now, but i have a lot of problems with some builds, like engi with bomb and turr or guardians.. but i can meneage almost all others 1v1.. never enjoied so much.. more practise!!

Avoid 1vs1 against good engis and any DPS guard build whenever possible. Part of being a good thief in PvP is knowing which fights to pick and when it’s better to seek a different objective.

If you’re doing hotjoin, and still want to use D/D, I’ve been having a lot of fun with this build:

Have I taken it into tPvP? Yes. Did it work? Yes. Viable at high level play? Probably not.

It pretty much excels at sitting on the side, and then bursting down an opposing player when a teammate asks for help.

My favorite strategy with it is to pop DV, when they’re at about 50-75% health while I’m in SB. When they go to pop their heal/condi-cleanse, steal for the interrupt, CnD+BS, and most of the time, squishies will be overwhelmed.

High risk fun build.

@Dahkeus.8243: ye, right target is 33% of work.. i usually try to reach far objective ( stealing chieftain/svanir, far camp and so on ) but when i face engi, dps guardian, hammered warrior, i can just run back.. no way.. unkitable with bow, unkillable with burst combo.. and, of course, condi mesmer re quite difficult to take down, as p/p thief or p/d..i wish to improve my stategies in any map, and that s why i m watching some stream
@Maugetarr.6823 cool stuff actually i m learning as good as i can d/p for pvp.. it s really mobile ( and i need just once more ticket claim to aether revolver XD ).
i’ll try anyway ty
