Guild Wars 2

I’m thinking of restarting a pve thief with sword/pistol. How are they after today’s patch?

S/P was always fine in PvE with blind fields, condition removal, aoe frontal damage, 2 ways to stun. Just lost the stun break, but inf. signet fills in just fine (hurts pvp a lot more). At least this has always worked for me on solo play, I don’t play much in dungeons.

S/P was never broke for general PVE. It’s not like you had to worry about the mob evading you.

What made S/P weak was the fact that pistol whip got nerfed to be just as strong as the AA chain. Now I hope that’s change a tiny bit at least. But as the others have said, it was never destroyed for PvE. In sPvP it’s another answer. I’ve used it for a long time and it’s been working fine, now it will hopefully work better
