Guild Wars 2

There’s alot of poorly made adept thief traits, but i’d like to start with swapping ricochet and quick venom.

Pistol Pistol, or PP, is primarily direct damage. It would behoove more to put traits in-line with such weapons, into power and precision. Ricochet is very good for PP, almost essential., as PP has no piercing attacks. However, to get this trait, alot of sacrifice has to be made by losing at least 200 points in either precision or power.

Similarly, heavy venom usage is usually done by condition spammers, like P/D. The condition damage is down in trickery, so it would also make more sense to have such traits down there.

I would really like to see improvements made on harmonizing these traits. PP is fun to play, but so weak. Either you can do decent damage, but usually are unable to take ricochet, thus being frustrated with no piercing, or, you can be more well rounded, having some better survivability and ricochet, but having abominably low damage.

good suggestion here. i like it especially since Q.V. is in the power line. I think this would make some solid synergy.

Make Pistol mastery pierce targets = P/P more viable.

I agree. When it comes to trait harmony, there are a few Thief traits that don’t fit under their current lines. For instance, why are Leeching Venoms and Venomous Aura shoehorned into the Toughness/Healing(Shadow Arts) line?

Stop making suggestions without thinking it through. Do you even consider the ramification of your suggestion?

Or you’re just making suggestions simply because it’s good for you? Never mind other P/P builds out there?
