Guild Wars 2

I’ve never had much trouble with thieves personally. I run zerker armor with melandru runes, and a mix of cavalier and knights accessories. Rifle, grenades, toolkit and elixir s gives me a lot of control options to keep them pinned down long enough for me to put them down. If you have decent toughness and vitality, and can react reasonably fast they aren’t that difficult to survive against.

Magnet pull > crowbar > net shot > blunderbuss > jump shot > overcharged shot > grenade spam = a lot of pain.

Another tip if you run grenades is when they stealth just start spamming your grenade 1 anywhere you think they might be. You won’t see numbers but if you hit them they still take the damage.

For what you’re looking for I would recommend either engineer or elementalist. Either one can meet all your criteria.

Currently when you use ctrl+right click to set a skill on a toolkit to auto attack it does not remember the setting once you unequip the kit. So every time you equip a toolkit you have to set the auto attack over again which is very difficult to do when you’re in a pitched fight.

I’ve verified that this happens with all toolkits.
