Guild Wars 2

Hello gang,
I am trying to get my thief up and going for WvW and could use some help please.

Right now I am set up with the following
http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/thief/?7.0|8.1g.h19.a.1o.h14|5.1o.h2|1g.7b.1g.7b.1g.7b.1g.7b.1g.7b.1g.7b|1n.64.1n.64.1n.64.1n.64.1n.64.8c.62|k39.u61b.k36.0.0|0.0|57.5b.5s.5e.5v|e

Was looking at possibly getting a set of crafted knights armor, not really sure what to do.

I am going to be solo or with a small group in WvW mainly. Right now I die supper fast, and using stealth a lot is not an option for me unfortuantly thats why I am doubled up on the two heals that grant stealth although am willing to loose one of them if need.

Your build is all over the place and is limiting both your ability to survive and your ability to deal damage. First, ditch the rampager’s gear. With your current approach, you don’t need the conditions, so think about getting Knight’s or Valk’s or Berserker’s. You want to focus your build on power/crit or condition/crit or power/condition, but not all 3 since you’ll just be removing a lot of your staying power with lower dps.

In Deadly Arts, I recommend switching out Dagger Trainig for Sundering Strikes. I would remove 10 from Critical Strikes and add them to Shadow Arts to get the regen on stealth. Also, since you’re roaming, you should change from Shadow Protector to either Master of Deception, Shadow’s Embrace, or Infusion of Shadow. And since all 30 points have gone into Shadow Arts, you can change out Hide in Shadows heal for Withdraw (and then have Blinding Powder/Shadow Refuge as your other utilities).

Finally, since you’re roaming or small group, Basilisk Venom or Thieves Guild is far more effective than Dagger Storm. Dagger Storm is very effective against large numbers of ranged players, but not so much 1v1 or 5v5 for the cooldown it has.

Fixed it for you.
3000 more hp, same defence , 32 % more critical damage.
Before you engage use shadow refuge to gain might, use assasin signet and you start with extra 525 p attack, at 25 stacks of bloodlust you start with nearly 4000 p attack

Thank you Suralin and Rayya I appreciate the help, will be nice to get home and try this out!

I will not spend that 10 points into Deadly Art, but rather into Shadow Art and Critical Strikes to get two more Mastery traits.
