Guild Wars 2

Hey guys , i would like to know what you think about this build http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fZAQRAoY6Yl0Mp8plOx5J8PNBNB59V+SZ0MAzuzj0XA-TpRAwAAOIAe3fg0JAgcZAOHBACPAAA . i really want to know what you think and what i could change to make it better thanks

not very good
thief cant go hybrid as you’ll be just harassment at best
also if you take improvisation take 3 different skills to maximize the chance of one of them to recharge
maybe 10,0,30,0,30 with confusion and more dodge abilities with sigils

i disagree imo thief can do hyrbid stuff well, jst not like this. i posted a build a few days ago of a life siphon build i use.i focus on how it has very high life stealing but it has great mixed damage. the siphoning gives extra physical damage while i use venoms for the condis its mainly a condi build but it does pretty good dmg considering its a condi.

plus not a lot of ppl realize that not only does life siphoning give you hp, but it also does physical damage which scales with power, so if it scales with power and the siphons are on venoms that makes those very good for hybrids. plus the sigil of leeching deals a fixed amt of 974 damage, only down side is this one does not scale with power. venoms traited with siphon can be usedd amazingly as a hybrid try it out some.
So if you use leeching sig plus venom thats already 1.4k physical damage not including your auto attack and the venoms effects AND not including a crit, and then you get hp back from it too.

Sneak Attack hits like a truck, well a thieves truck anyway, when both Power and Condition Damage are specced, the combined damage is similar to that of backstab.

except you cant cleanse a backstab…..

You can dodge or otherwise foil a backstab. Hybrid sneak attack gives you all the benefits and disadvantages of both (which is obvious). I used to run a d/d p/d for zerg surfing, but I think I’m going to refocus into mostly p/d (maybe focus on shadow strike, or something, who knows).

i looked on your build and its not hybrid as your attack is only 1k

maybe i am mistaken but as far as i know hybrid means take both condi+power and use them both on your build .lets say 1700-1800 attack 1300 condi will mean hybrid (wvw states)
rampager and carrion gear are hybrid. rabid and dire condition

my build i am using yield me 1100 attack with 2.2k condi and i dont consider it hybrid

the leeching doesnt make the build hybrid.

dont get me worng on paper hybrid yield the most dmg output
but in real game life it really depends on yor enemy. if he condi spec with lots of clease zerker will do the job better. and if he’s zerk build than condi can do the job much easier etc…
so on golem the dmg will be higher with hybrid but golems dont attack you

siphoned damage. build stil hits for 1-2k non crit while doing condi damage as well. i deal both physical and condi damage. i actullay down more ppl with raw dmg then the condi

edit: if you try using it you woll notice decent numbers from just physical damage, especially if you switch to s/p ik normal s/p burst does alot but for a hybrid build 3-4k is pretty good per pistol whip
