Guild Wars 2

I got my thief to level80 last week and just playing around with it, Now id like to take it a step further and probably get advise on a really good PvE build my weapon preference is S/P and Bow ( mainly for tagging mobs and long range safe combat ) I might be open to using S/P & D/D if its better for dungeon runs. I would need trait suggestions.. Currently my gear is all berserker stats.

Run 25/30/0/0/15 if you want more initiatives/damage. Run 25/30/0/15/0 if you want more dodges.

I find s/p boring but the truth is it’s still the best for clearing trash mobs en masse. I use d/d for bosses or other single target fights. Hope this helps.

^ all the advice any thief will ever give for pve unless we are reworked.

And what master trait to pick?

25/30/0/x/x – Surely is max damage.

DA – Mug, Combined Training(S/x & P/P) / Dagger Training(D/x)
CS – first 2 dependent on build or what you prefer, executioner on grandmaster.

Acro – Whatever you prefer, none makes much difference.
Trickery – Thrill of the Crime or Flanking Strikes depending on fury uptime in group.

I personally play 10/30/0/0/30 steal and signet build, since it brings me some sustain, high damage, vigor, 50% group fury uptime.

Signet build, whats that?

If you have any Ele friends or just like picking up conjures, take 30/30/0/0/10 and slot Improvisation on top. Dagger Training + Improvisation will both stack if you pick up FGS/Ice Bow and your damage will fly through the roof.

What traits do you run with that build ?
