Guild Wars 2

I’ve recently hit 80 but I’ve been running a lot of dungeons.

For PvE I use Shortbow and whatever I feel like at the time (It’s been P/P recently but sometimes I switch to Dagger Dagger)

For Dungeons I almost exclusively run Shortbow and P/P (There are some very specific parts in CoF and TA that I switch to Sb D/D but P/P is always a good choice)

For my skills I use:
6 Hide in Shadows
7 Blinding Powder
8 Roll for Initiative or Signet of Shadows, sometimes the assassin trap. (I swap this one out for whichever skill i’d need at the time)
9 Shadow Refuge(?) (It’s the AOE Stealth skill)
0 Thieves Guild

Now the way I’ve traited myself is around initiative regeneration (+2 anytime I use a skill that stealth’s me + faster initiative regen in stealth), evasion, and condition damage so that I can just keep dumping my 2 and 4 skills with the SB or applying vulnerability/blinding/daze locking with my P/P.

It only costs like 10 (or so) silver to reset your traits at your trainer so there is no reason to not play around with them!

As for gear I’ve gotten myself all Rare+ items (Mostly through crafting them) and I always make sure that each piece of gear has +condition damage then I’ve been alternating between toughness and vitality for the second main stat (The third stat I just kinda ignore).

If you like the skills you have don’t feel the need to unlock any more, it’ll save you from having to grind skillpoints later if you’re going to do some Mystic Forge shenanigins for crafting exotics. (I have the Mystic Forge exotic shortbow that you need 50 skillpoints to get and I love it.)

With regards to partying for dungeons if you’re looking for a group and cant find one then go ahead and just invite whoever else is looking! I’ve actually done better in most dungeons with 4 random strangers than running it with a group of 3 and a group of 2 put together.

TLDR: As long as you’re not dying, able to kill stuff, and having fun you’re gear will be fine!
