Guild Wars 2

Eh should i even bother starting one?
Dont see a single person positive about the thief……

It’s an MMO, mate — the balance of power changes from patch to patch. Thieves are not the apex predator now, but you can absolutely get stuff done in WvW and have a lot of fun. If you like the playstyle, jump in and start stabbing

Any suggestions for lvling up?
Weapons etc?

Mate, i would suggest Sword / Pistol for levelling. You get the cleave from the sword auto, and pistol whip both cleaves and does decent damage.

In a tight spot you can use ur #5 black powder and just stand in that smoke field and melee ur target down while they are perma blind.

Its probably the easiest and laziest way to level a thief if you’re doing it the traditional way and not simply crafting up.

Sword pistol works. Crafting is fastest if you have some gold, lol. Yes , thieves remain very fun in wvw.

For overland PvE, Sword/ Pistol trivializes everything that isn’t a dredge or a champion. Your autoattack does good AoE damage, and your offhand has a spammable AoE blind. Gear is standard power/ precision.

It’ll be boring, though Try the other combinations are you level, as they all have very different styles. S/D acrobatics build vs P/D conditions build vs classic D/D backstabber — they feel like different classes. One of them is likely to suit.

Thank you for the advices.

Being a Thief player is a way of life! Can you handle the nerfbat every patch? Can you still see the light at the end of the tunnel? Do you love to make your enemies cry for more nerfs?
If so, Thief can be for you! :P

No but seriously. I have 1800 hours on my thief and I still love him. Also killing players with a thief remains fun. You need to put a lot of effort in killing decent players, but usually it’s worth it. The cries on the forum about how “imba” thieves are, is the thing that keeps me going with my thief.
Hell, even if we get nerfed into oblivion(we are well on our way) and still kill players, it’s worth it for me! :P

Just created one .
