Guild Wars 2

For the past couple of days I have seen many thieves roaming (within wvw) with the sword dance evasion-limited access to stealth type of build. Similar to triggerless playstyle/build. It is a good sign to finally face a diversity of playstyles that doesn’t abuse the perm stealth mechanic or the broken perpl runes. I haven’t seen any player that I can consider close as good as triggerless with this build in tier 1 but hopefully I will soon. Keep up the great work!.

You said “many thieves roaming with the sword dance evasion-limited access to stealth…”, then “diversity of playstyles”, contradicting yourself. I have no clue what Triggerless uses, but I know a lot are using the SD semi-stealth trickery build with Lyssa runes. But what I’m proud of is the amount of DD thieves Ive been seeing, but Im generally happy to see anything other than DP

I’m not contradicting. I meant to say there’s another build many other theives are roaming lately with and doing very well aside of the perm stealth or condition stacking with perpl runes build. I’m giving praise not finding fault.

Well Sword/Dagger is a very fun weapon set I’d say it is similar to a Power Necromancer in that it may not be the very best build and weapon set you can go with for your Class but it’s just really a lot more fun to play it, so the increase in S/D thieves could maybe just be because it’s fun.

I used P/D before but then somehow Conditions became the new thing and it felt less appealing to just be another Condition and went S/D myself as it just feels different.

It is Sizer…. he went into wvw for the first time ever like a week or so ago and people went crazy over it. It was entertaining for a while but he’s more fun to watch in spvp. Be careful though… today he was on d/p so the bandwagon might swing the other way shortly!

I wasnt saying your faulting anyone, don’t worry. I just meant that if a lot of thieves are now using this new build, then diversity ironically falls a bit. But I understood what you meant
