I’ll start by saying I switched to thief, with the intent on making it my new main, being as I figured engi would be hit hard with nerfs. I was right. It broke my primary build in several ways. Anyway… playing around with gw2buildcraft, I can make my thief have double the effective power, more toughness, and 7k hp less than my engi. The question is, do you think that would make for a better roamer than my engi, who was full carrion specced and did very well in wvw and pve, and spvp (mostly hot join, some tpvp) after I learn my build better, of course. I still haven’t figured out how high the importance of stats are, nor can I really figure out the damage difference between raw and condi damage.
Any info is helpful. Thanks.
P.s. I don’t like using spvp to test builds I’d use for pve/wvw for a few obvious reasons, but would rather here from the more knowledgeable players of both the game and the thief profession.
